Im sure im forgetting some stuff it has all the supporting mods for cam ect i can get into internals and all that if anyone is interested. It made 640rwhp with the meth and blower only and has been 10.8 @ 130 hasnt been on the dyno or track with the dry kit but usually maggies pick up 100ish rwhp off a 75 dry shot so its safe to say it will go mid to low 10's pretty easily. still has ac,heat cruise all the creature comforts ect. I’ll start with the exterior and work my way in. The exterior has been done to look like the old “Judge” with custom stripes and Judge decals. I have an MPD hood, which looks like the ’69 Judge hood. I have Autocross grills and spoiler and an '05 rear bumper. The paint is in very good shape but there are a couple of marks and minor scratches. There is a small scratch on the side of the spoiler. I touched up the scratches so there is no rust anywhere. When it is cleaned up, the car is still near show quality, but it has been driven for four years so it can’t be perfect. The wheels are stock and in good shape I have stock size Dunlop FM901 tires on the front that have about 50% tread left and Nitto 555’s in 285-40-17 that are only a few months old on the back. They are at about 80% tread left with no burnouts done on them. And yes they fit, read the suspension section to see how. I did roll the rear fenders but that turned out to be unnecessary with the suspension mods.
The interior is red and the leather is in great shape. No noticeable wear on the seats. I installed an Arrowhead gauge pod and have Autometer Cobalt Boost and Nitrous gauges in it. I replaced the stock stereo and speakers with Pioneer products and have a 40w Pioneer Amp in the trunk. The stereo is an Avic N3 with navigation, DVD, XM, CD, AM and FM with working steering wheel controls. This setup was about $2000 for parts and installation. And the DVD bypass is active so your PASSENGER can watch DVD’s while you drive and pay attention to the road. Below that, in the ashtray, is a Nitrous Outlet control panel to work the nitrous. The only thing I don’t have is a remote bottle opener, but the switch is there if you ever want one. Below that, in the cubby, are two Aeroforce gauges in a custom mount. Chris White customized the DIC and replaced all of the speedo led’s with blue lights and red needles. It’s cool, during the day it looks normal but at night the speedo lights up with blue lights that match the cobalt gauges, stereo, and Aeroforce gauges. I also have a five point, NHRA legal roll cage. It was built by Dave Curtis, a well known and respected cage builder in Central Florida. It has a removable door bar and removable rear bar so getting in the back seat is still easy. Honestly, with the door and rear bars out, you hardly remember there is a cage there. There is also an RJS racing harness for the cage. I also installed a double Holden switch in the empty area behind the window switches. These switches control the SLP Line Lock and a manual intercooler pump control so I can run the intercooler pump to the supercharger when the engine is off at the track. The switches look stock and are in easy reach when at the track.
The trunk has been modified for weight savings. The gas tank brace and spare tire have been removed, but will come with the car. I have a ten pound nitrous bottle in the spare tire well with the blow off tube exiting under the car. I fabbed up a light weight wooden brace to attach the amp and it sits behind the rear fabric cover, in front of the gas tank. So when you open the trunk, it looks completely stock and there is no loss of space. While I’m back here, I’ll cover the gas tank mods. The stock fuel pump was replaced with an LPE high flow fuel pump. The bucket was modified to allow added flow to the pump as well. It more than adequately handles the demands the engine makes.
The suspension has been totally redone. There are Hotchkis sway bars, front and rear. A full Energy suspension bushing kit (I forget now what all came with the kit, but it was pretty comprehensive). There are Hot Bits coilovers up front, Hot Bits rear shocks with Pedders Drag Springs which raise the rear end about an inch over stock. That is why the wider tires fit, they never come close to bottoming out. The front is lower than stock and is adjustable. The car has a raked stance and looks like an old muscle car.Along with the g-froce center section and axles there is a BMR driveshaft safety loop installed which is required by NHRA. In the back I have a set of Dif Technics 3.73 gears with a Harrop differential cover. This combination, along with the suspension works great together. Wheel hop has been totally eliminated and I consistently cut 1.60 60’ times, with my best being a 1.54
While I’m under the car I’ll cover the exhaust, brakes, and skid plate. I have a Holden lightweight skid plate. This is a factory Holden piece that weighs only 5 pounds as apposed to the 15 pound stock piece. I replaced all of the brake rotors with Power Slots and the front pads are Hawks and the rears are EBC’s. I have Stainless Works headers and exhaust with no cats. The Stainless Works pieces are in many sections so if you wanted to put high flow cats on, only one section of each pipe needs to be removed and they make cats to put there. I think this is their quieter mufflers, but trust me, they are plenty loud, ask my neighbors!
There are literally too many things for me to list but I’ll hit the main things and things I can remember. It has a Magnacharger supercharger. The front pulley has been replaced with a South Florida Pulley Headquarters 2.75” pulley. I installed an ECS crank pulley and ECS tensioner pulley. This combination produces about 9 pounds of boost over the stock five pounds. There is a Comp Cams 222/230 XER cam installed. The cam specs are: 115+4 LSA, .581” lift intake and .592” lift exhaust. The airbox is from MPD and is made for the hood. One note, due to the height of the Maggie, the plenum in the hood had to be cut for clearance. The ram air tunnel still works, but most of the air is diverted onto the top of the Maggie. I look at it this way. The 5 hp I may loose due to the ram air not working efficiently is nothing compared to the 125+ hp gained from the supercharger. The air tube is fitted with ported MAF ends and goes into a ported LPE throttle body. There is a NLP catch can installed. I also have an NOS LS1 dry kit installed. The primary purpose for the nitrous is to cool the supercharger so I’m only using a 75 shot. The return is closer to 150rwhp because of the effect it has on the Maggie.
I have not had any issues with the motor at all. I have it checked out before I race by Mike Norris of Norris Motorsports, who did most of the work on the car throughout the years. Mike is also the person who tunes it and helped it make the power it makes. Mike is conservative by nature and ensures that the power the car makes is safe power. In fact, I have had no mechanical issues with this car.
I know this is going to sound contradictory, but I really have taken good care of this car. I race it at the track, but I am very careful about my preparation. When I’m not at the track I drive it fairly conservatively, considering what it is capable of. All scheduled maintenance is kept up religiously. I used only Mobil 1 oil and filters. I replaced the transmission fluid about 1k miles ago with non-synthetic fluid since the A4’s don’t like synthetic. I’ve also replaced the dif fluid a few times after doing the gears.
I was afraid to
actually do it, but if you added up all the parts I put on the car it would
approach $20,000 or more. I realize that the value of the parts now is nothing
compared to buying them new. I am merely stating how much I put into the car
after I purchased it to make it what it is now. You could purchase this car and
do nothing but keep it maintained and have a low 10 second car without
putting any more into it. I’m asking $25,000 for the car as is. That includes
the NOS system. The car will be sold in the exact condition it was in when I
raced.The car is race/street ready. NOTE: sold as is with no warranty or guarantee. I can be contacted by email at n.weimer AT gmail DOT com I have a walk around and a 40-140 video I can send for some reason ebay wont let me post the youtube links. or by phone at 5one3-7zero9-97two7

Junkyard Gem: 1986 Pontiac Sunbird Sedan
Sun, Jun 28 2020The J-Body platform was a giant seller for GM, staying in production from the first 1981 Chevrolet Cavalier all the way through that final 2005 Pontiac Sunfire. Outside of North America, Opels and Daewoos and Isuzus and Holdens and Vauxhalls and even Toyotas flew the J flag, and better than ten million rolled out of showrooms during that quarter-century. In the United States, Chevrolet, Oldsmobile, Pontiac, Buick, and Cadillac each sold J-Bodies. Of those, the Pontiac Sunbird often had the sportiest image, more cavalier than even the Cavalier Z24. I've documented a discarded Sunbird Turbo in the past, and now here's a bread-and-butter Sunbird sedan from the same era. The Sunbird name began its life in 1976 on the Pontiac-badged version of the rear-wheel-drive Buick Skyhawk, itself based on the Chevy Vega. The first J-Body Pontiacs had J2000 badges, then 2000 badges, then 2000 Sunbird badges, until finally the pure non-2000 Sunbird appeared for the 1985 model year. I remain disappointed that the 2000 name didn't survive into our current century, because we could have had a 2000 Pontiac 2000, or just the "2000 2000" for short. The base engine in the '86 Sunbird was this SOHC 1.8-liter four of Brazilian origin, rated at 84 horsepower. Originally developed by Opel in the late 1970s, this engine family went into cars built all across the sprawling GM empire. 84 horsepower doesn't sound like much— and it wasn't much, even by 1986 standards— but at least the original buyer of this car had the smarts to get the five-speed manual transmission. This car weighed just 2,336 pounds, a good 500 pounds lighter than the current Chevy Sonic, so performance with the manual transmission was tolerable. The '86 Sunbird's interior was much nicer than those in its Cavalier siblings, though nowhere near the Cadillac Cimarron's reading on the Plush-O-Meter. An AM/FM/cassette stereo with auto reverse was serious audio hardware in a cheap car during the middle 1980s, when even a scratchy factory AM-only radio cost the equivalent of several hundred 2020 bucks. The price tag of this car started at $7,495, or about $17,500 in 2020 dollars. The cheapest possible Cavalier sedan went for $6,888 in 1986, but a zero-option base '86 Cavalier would make you think you'd been transported to the Soviet Union every time you slunk into its harsh confines.

Porsche Sports Car Together Fest is a labor of many Porsche loves
Sat, Sep 17 2022Over Labor Day Weekend, Porsche held its second annual Sports Car Together Fest (SCTF) at the Indianapolis Motor Speedway. We happened to be nearby, so we swung by to check out an event we’d never heard of until a few weeks before. Reading about it on Porsche's U.S. web site made us think it would be something like Rennsport Reunion for the Midwest. Turns out SCTF is just as much of a different kind of fun. The fest Tom MooreÂ’s the man behind Dark Horse Motorsports, the motorsport consultant for Porsche Cars North America (PCNA) PR. "People love Rennsport Reunion, but thatÂ’s every three to four years," he explained. “We wanted to gather people on those off years, and we didn't want to just do a mini Rennsport, because thatÂ’s its own thing. WeÂ’ve maintained the motorsport history at Rennsport. Here [at SCTF], we're doing the current look at what Porsche racing is for." In this case, that means gathering what Moore called "our Porsche motorsport pyramid." ThatÂ’s the range of enthusiast drivers from novice to hotshoes trying to get to top-tier endurance racing, "[starting] with the progression from Porsche Club of America track days up to the top of the ladder of one-make racing in North America," the Carrera Cup North America, a series made up of nothing but the latest 500-horsepower 911 GT3 Cup cars. The three days of racing action allowed almost any kind of Porsche owner interested in clipping apexes to compete around an Indianapolis Motor Speedway layout tweaked with an infield section. This year, that included ex-NASCAR star Jeff Gordon, coming out of retirement to reunite with his longtime NASCAR crew chief Ray Evernham for the top-class Cup races. Evernham told us Gordon hasnÂ’t raced in five years and he hasnÂ’t been a crew chief in 22. On very short practice, Gordon finished in 14th in the Pro Class in the first Carrera Cup race of the weekend driving the #24 Hendrick Performance Group Porsche, and 11th in the second race. Afterward, he said, "I made a pass on the white flag lap. That made my whole weekend Â… I must say that yesterday, I thought ‘man, I am getting beat out hereÂ’ and I donÂ’t like that. If I am going to be in an environment like this, I want to be competitive. But today turned the corner for me. So, I hope I get to do another one day." When we strolled the paddock after the event, exposed sheet metal proved "Rubbing is racing" is a thing in the Carrera Cup as well as NASCAR.
Junkyard Gem: 1964 Pontiac Catalina Custom Ventura
Mon, May 22 2023Like Impala, Skylark, Malibu and Silverado (among many others), the Ventura name began its career as the designation for a trim level or option package used on another GM model, then became a model name in its own right. Initially a designation for a snazzed-up Pontiac Catalina two- or four-door hardtop, the Ventura name moved over to a Pontiac-ized version of the Chevy Nova for 1971. Today's Junkyard Gem, found in a Northern California car graveyard, proudly bears both Catalina and Ventura badging. Actually, the Catalina name itself started out as a trim level for the Chieftain and Star Chief models of the 1950s, just to confuse everybody. By the time this car was built, the Catalina was the cheapest of four Pontiac models built on the same full-size B-Body platform as the big Chevrolets and Olds 88s of the time (the Star Chief, Bonneville and Grand Prix ranked above it on the 1964 Pontiac Prestige-O-Meter). The 1964 Catalina four-door hardtop with the Custom Ventura package offered a lot of swank per dollar, with a price starting at $3,063. That's about $29,821 when converted to inflated 2023 dollars. The main benefit of the Custom Ventura package was an interior done up entirely in Morrokide upholstery. Morrokide was the name GM applied to Naugahyde fake leather when used in Pontiac vehicles; when used in Buicks, it was known as Cordaveen, while Oldsmobile Naugahyde was called Morocceen. Naugahyde took its name from the town of Naugatuck, Connecticut, where it was invented. This car's Morrokide is in rough shape. In fact, everything about this car is decayed and probably infectious. You know to be careful when a junkyard car has warnings about rat feces inked on the glass. That said, I couldn't resist examining the 8-track tapes that littered the interior. Here's Hotel California, the 1976 hit album by the Eagles. Supertramp's Paris, a live album recorded from the 1979 Breakfast in America tour, is here as well. Here's The Best of Carly Simon, from 1975. The tapes were played on this Sparkomatic player, which probably lived in the glovebox or under the seat. The factory radio was AM-only, and includes the frequency markings for the atomic-attack CONELRAD emergency frequencies. 1964 was the last year for mandatory CONELRAD radios in the United States.
