02 Twin Turbo Carmaro SS detail

THANK YOU all for the very kind words!!:D



hirosh it is quite possible (I'd say probable) that you would take him until you were both at a velocity where he had some semblance of traction. After that..........



MattZ28 that thing IS such a slow POS LS1. :D Seriously though...it is a marginal street car...definitely a 1320 rocket. It can be driven like a grocery getter but anytime you go past 20% throttle it will most likely just start roasting tires. That clutch is PURE EVIL too!! It is either on or off...no slipping. I must have stalled it 3 times in the parking lot!:rolleyes:



Scott...ya caught me!! :o I guess I could lie to you and say that I dressed the wheel wells after the pic...but I'm not...and I didn't. I must have spent at least a half hour pulling rubber out of the back two wells...after that I gave them a good soaping and rinse then left them o' natural brown.



Setec Astronomy when I first started my business I did detail engines. When my insuarance agent saw some of the cars that I was detailing he told me not to work on motors anymore. Take this car for example...that motor is worth more than my entire detail rig. If I clean it and for some reason it starts developing a miss...a leak...anything...I become liable for it. My insurance will cover the cost a some bodywork if for some gawd forsaken reason I screw something up but they won't cover the cost of repairing a motor. The way around it, of course, is to get the client to sign a waiver but I just said screw it and stopped all together.

OMG!! How big is that exhaust pipe coming off the turbos?? It looks like it must be 3.5" at least!



It always looks weird to see how far back the engine sits in the F-body. That looks like a very clean install, though I think the Callaway still sets the standard for clean twin-turbo'd small-block looks. It is a thing of beauty with the intercoolers and beautiful crinkle-finished L-98 runners. :)
 
You know what is really amazing? Detailing that car probably takes less time than changing the spark plugs! I can see why you won't clean an engine like that. Just to get to the problem would probably take a few hours of labor.

It would take less time to detail any f-body than change plugs. For a horror story. :( My classics 60's models take about 1/2 hour max. That includes points and condensers.



Thank goodness for modern electronic engine management systems. :xyxthumbs

Not true....it took me 45 minutes to change mine. Long tube headers help......JUST a little :P



I never even bothered attempting it with stock manifolds. LOL

:lol I can change the plugs in my Honda in less than 5 minutes. Probably 10 for my 626 since it is a V6 and the rear bank looks a little awkward.
