matts93z34 Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I would like to get the car lowered but the header pipe is about 1.5 inches off the ground so it would be hard not to scrape the pipe with a one inch drop. I am looking towards maybe doing air bags over the summer. Just have to wait and see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redfox340 Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I would like to get the car lowered but the header pipe is about 1.5 inches off the ground so it would be hard not to scrape the pipe with a one inch drop. Why is the downpipe almost touching the ground at a stock ride height? That doesn't sound healthy... what's the scoop? - Erik Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegp Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 13.58 1/4 mile -- I bet that surprises alot of people. There's another member here (Hippie) that is doing a Caddy engine swap into a W-Body. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dykz34 Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Those seats are awesome! How comfy are they on long trips? Id love to get some like that. What do they cost each? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaroonRegal Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I'm guessing you got the idea from the Z50 concept car? Well...it's obvious you've done a lot of work, and I respect that. The engine swap, however, is the only modification I actually like. Thanks for sharing, though. Mmmmm...V8 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts93z34 Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 Thanks for looking at the car. As for the downpipe i am guessing thats how ASG designed the motor and the only way they could run the downpipe was below the scrapeplate. The seats i got through one of my friends i am not sure were he got them he wouldnt tell me. I paid $480 a pair. The seats are very comfy on long trips.

DEMonte1997 Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 nice engine that wing must help keep the rear down when you are taking turns at 80+mph j/p glad to see someone with that swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 did u ave to do any heavy modification to ge tthose seats in the rear?

LukeZ34 Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 A V8 in a W-body is really a awesome combo. I drove ASG's 5.0 Euro 3.4 car a few years ago.. the surprised/confused looks you got at stoplights lightly revving the car were priceless! Nice car. 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slick Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 I've never heard of ASG before. Any info about them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts93z34 Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 You can visit these sites for info on ASG http://www.angelfire.com/stars/mycaddy/asg.htm http://www.asgindy.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heza Posted November 17, 2003 Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 how does the ASG 5.0 motor feel as a power plant when you drive it? What is your exhaust setup and how does it sound? Just curious because I've been looking at ASG for about a year now trying to justify the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matts93z34 Posted November 17, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2003 The ASG is great. When you step on the gas the car goes. If you punch it at lights the tires will do a nice little burnout and then it will launch you. The exhaust setup i did was the flowmaster 40 series mufflers. The builder of the motor recommended Flowmaster 50 series but the 40 series gives you better results and is a lot louder. If you have the money i would do the swap it is great having a v8 if not for about the same horsepower and a lot less money i would do the 3.8 supercharged engine swap only my opinion.

matts93z34 Posted November 18, 2003 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2003 I am going to dnyo my car over the summer after i do some modifications to the motor. As for my quarter mile time, i havent raced it. The engine swap was $10,000 so i really don't want to break anything. Someone showed me this website http://www.superford.org you go to the garage and follow the instructions. So the quarter mile time isnt exactly what it would be but it would be around that. I might take it to a drag strip over the summer and get some times Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
