THE DATE IS OFFICIAL!

SEPTEMBER 26th is the date of the bike/car/truck show and cruise.

So for the past 10ish years my aunt has run a local car show at the K-Mart parking lot in Cedar Rapids and in recent years many cars have showed up. The event title is Wheels for United and goes for a great cause. Raffle tickets are sold to raise the money and all the prizes you can win at the show are worth wanting.... TV's, Fridges, Cameras etc....

Besides the raffle there is anything and everything at the show and many trophies are awarded. This past year it was close to 30 trophies im sure. There is also a bike cruise already planned out but I was thinking that after the show we could all take a nice cruise if everyone is game for that. I'm also thinking that svtp will have their own area at the show if we can get enough people to go.

I want to start getting a count for this event ASAP so please tell everyone you want to come as soon as you can. This event is for a great cause and has been pretty damn good the past couple of years. If anyone else is familiar with the cedar rapids/marion area I wouldn't mind input on a cruise route just pm me.

Here are some pics from last year's event......

I thought you were Navy bound man? At any rate I'm down for the show again; maybe I'll be a lil more prepared and actually get to cruise with you too. I just had alot of crap to do the morning prior to coming to the show. I doubt my car changes much from last year- hoping for complete suspension and brake upgrade but ascetically it will be about the same as last year. I might be getting tint in mid Spring of 09 I don't know if your tinted but if your not and want to come with me that'd be cool- theres a group of about 5-8 people all going to Advanced Tinting Solutions in CR if your interested lemme know.

Other mods?
Like wheels/tires and build the rear end?
I got that stuff in Fall and planned to install it in my friends shop (he has a lift so thats nice) and the day we were going to it was rainy/sleet/snow outside and the weather never cooperated again. So I do have my DRs, FR500 wheels (17x9 front &17x10.5 rear) 31 spline Moser axles and the upgraded Ford Trac-Loc.

Bottom line is with my car I haven't picked a path to take yet (I wanna toss a s/c on it) but after all said and done I would still fear blowing my motor- even on safe boost level- so I'm looking at building my motor or a shortblock. I also like the idea of building a high compression motor (11:1 comp or so) port/polish the heads and intake mani then tossing on some cams. Either way I would be running around 400-450whp and that sounds like enough for me, if I ever want more I'll spray a 75-100 wet shot.
