Re: I introduce the "Man van"!

Okay, okay, okay. Got some vids uploaded finally for you guys. This is all your going to get for now. Chipped a piston on cylinder number 4 a couple weeks ago. Might be a while till I get it running again. But it might get a thrasher cam and arp bolts throughout.

These vids where done on my phone. But they are in HD. Droid X kicks ass. lol

lol awsome!!! Sucks about the piston though.. please tell me you at least smoked a honda or something while it was running.
 




Thanks guys for all the complements!!! It is amazing what a little boost can do to a minivan. This is one of my favorite cars I have owned. And will probably be a keeper. I'll start another post with the engine damage shortly. And I'll ask some questions on what to do for the next engine.

That was one of the first things I did! lol. The funniest was messing with a early to mid 2000's BMW and Audi on the Veterans one night. They were hauling ass and I let them pass me. We went trough the toll's at about the same time. I decided I wanted to join. I didn't beat them. But they didn't loose me ether. Finally after a few miles they slowed way down to under the speed limit to let me pass and to see what was on there ass the whole time. I just cruised by doing the speed limit. And the look on there faces was funny! Then I got off at my exit that was next.

Courtney Camble Causeway?

The first two yes. The last one with the speedo was at a closed course with adult supervision. ;)

That sucks on the piston. You can tell that Van weighs a bit in the 35-100 vid.

Honestly. According to the titles. The van only weighs 200ish pounds more. One is the gas tank. Even though it's at half a tank. It is still a 25 gallon tank. You can fill a big difference in performance from a full tank to a low tank. And also. My fat ass doesn't help. At the time of that vid I weighed 425. But I am doing the driver weight reduction mod. Lost 50 pounds since then.

I'll take one! is there a gtx option?

That's funny that you mention that. I been wanting to make it look like it came as a GTX. Get the rims, badges and do all the mods that a GTX would have. Make it look as if it came that way from the factory. The only thing is I wouldn't do the hood scoops. Would just look way out of place on a minivan. So I would just have to do ram air from some where else, maybe fog lights.
 
Just be sure you know...a TEP Cam might not be the best idea if you plan on a daily. It NEEDS a double roller and at least 130lb. valve springs and needing the valve guides milled .100"...studding everything won't get it done...although it helps.

Yea, I was going to get there cam kit with the springs and other stuff. But I am still not sure on if I want to do that cam or not. I just keep thinking that cam and a cut out would be awesome coming from a minivan. lol. More then likely, I will just go stock or a vs cam. I am thinking more and more about the GTX idea. The motor already looks stock sitting in there. I just might add everything I can that a GTX had and make mine look like it was something that the factory did. If I go that route the motor would still be reliable as a daily driver. Don't need a race car. Have a 420hp Camaro for that. And I know studding everything everything has nothing to do with the cam. But since I have to buy all new bolts to replace the TTY ones. I might as well spend the little extra for the ARP ones. Better reliability and reusable.

It's a Van Prix :th_laugh-lol3:

Hahaha! That's actually pretty good. Or Grandtana. I kind of like yours better.
