Hi all,
I thought I would share my plans for my Pace Car Build for infromation sharing and feedback. Just to start I bought this Pace Car back in October with plans to make it all oringnal or go resto mod. Based on the amount of miles on the car, seat condtion and the fact that it has been repaint i chose the restomod path.
My goals with this build is to make a performace street(first)/ basic track car. I want to be able to take it out on a road course for a track day or autocross event. Not to lay down blistering lap times. Just want to drive faster than I can on the street. Most of the time it will be a Sunday cruiser.
Other goals are to keep the car the same look as the original Pace Car. This would include the TRX wheels, Recaro Seat, Paint and super cool stickers. The only problem I see with this goal is staying with 4 lug wheels will limit my options brake size.
The Plan:
1. Reupholster the Recaro Seats. LMR.com sell a kit. and fix all the little issue with lights and things. This project has already started.
2. Upgrade suspension
- 87-93 V8 Spindles
- 11' 4-lug brake kit
- Blistein B6 HD shocks and struts
- Maximum Motorsports K-member package with 300lbs coilovers
- Strut tower brace
- Maximum Motorsports full length sub frame connectors
- Pan Hard bar (rubber upper control arm Bushings)
- 175lbs spring in the rear Stock location (no coilover)
- Aftermarket upper and lower rear control arms (free from a buddy)
- New front and rear Sway Bar Eibach
3. Engine (goal is 300hp)
- This is one of Edelbrocks packages. Engine block has been rebuilt recently. I plan on doing and compression test and send a sample of oil of for analysis to make sure its all good to go.
