tgilb2719 asked: I’m currently in the tear down of a 71 javelin and turning it into a resto-mod style trans-am javelin(street legal though). And I’m in planning stages while i part off original parts. I’m not worried about the original parts since it was my first car and don’t plan to sell it. There’s two issues that I’m looking for opinions on.
1. powertrain. my current hp goal is atleast 500. i was originally considering a ford v8 crate. but since I wanted a t-56 in viper spec. why not save the trouble of the bellhousing and etc. and just get a viper v10? prices we’re not very different when quoted for a local generation 3 v10 and crate fords on jegs and such.
2. Spoiler…the front spoiler being made is a replica of the trans am javelin. it will be too low to the ground to drive on the street to shows and events. the only solutions I’ve thought of so far (other than not driving on the street). A- make a removable extention to an original front spoiler(probably easiest and closest to original trans-am method) . B-make the spoiler be able to mechanically fold up(dads fav idea). C- since i’m updating the suspension from scratch anyway maybe use an air bag system to be able to raise and lower and stiffen and soften to my liking at a particular time(most costly and probably weighty)
I’m currently working for my mechanical engineering degree so don’t worry. and my father is an amc expert (owned 5 amxs 1 race built) THANKS for taking the time and offering ideas

__|Jacob|__ asked: Hey this is junior…I’m getting ready to throw out these BESIC shocks and stock springs….
So I was wondering between F.B.S.S. ($1295) Air suspension kit (in U.S.A. online website) and an Eibach “pro-street-s coil-over kit 36-Way Adjustable. ($965.56 sets/4 in Japan online website)
. What would you be best for a customized 2001 Honda Accord Lx V6 Manual…..it’s almost fully customize from head to rear. With the body kit, it’s really LOW but I want it be higher and adjustable plus I would actually like to bolt on a set of 4 “19’s”Konig Tuner II or some 4 “18’s”
Enkei GF1… I got the cash($1,800’s) and credit card(2) if required but need to know what best in the long run between an aired ride and an equipped coil-over suspension ride.
please help, junior
