First off, I LOVE your car! It's like what my 242 wants to be when it grows up, wheels and all! :)

Second, care to share some info on which advance adapters part number it took to bolt the ma5 to the ls?

Thanks!

Ben,

Thanks for the kind words, this car always seems to get mixed reviews.

I believe I used this adapter

Let me know if you're interested in some gold meshies. I have a set of Riken Mesh that are the same size as my AREs
 
Here's a picture of the engine bay. The car runs and had 26 miles put on it today. The tune could use some clean up but it's doing very well so far.

Nice work man!!! Don't know how I missed this one. You just running a stock base tuneon the micro?

Thanks man, I've been watching your thread. Yeah, I just took one of the tunes out of the Sloppy wiki and my buddy has been helping me street tune it. I got the driveshaft back from balancing so that will be going back in this weekend.


Awesome transformation. Congratulations.

Thanks! I hope to have it back on the road for more videos soon
 
I really wanted a full exhaust on the car so this is what happened. 3" with 2 Magnaflows and now there are moments where I can't tell if the car is running

Well after melting a piston in cylinder 7...we are back.

New 5.3 block
Gen IV rods and flat top pistons

The motor has a few hundred miles on it now I will continue to put more on it before it will see some time on the dyno for tuning

I did manage to make some passes with this one being my best. No launching since I wanted to be able to drive the car home. It trapped 120+ consistently

This was my first time down the track and I took it extremely easy off the line
