:shock: LOVE IT! A '63. SWEET! Arguably the best year for vette - is the best year AFAIAC. The TorqueThrust (?) wheels are a perfect touch. Is it a fuelie?


Not a fuelie, but the next one down. Solid lifter 340hp. You are correct TT2s.

God, that sure is beautiful - it's on my list with the Panteras.
I bet you can feel the ground shaking when it's idling. I remember as a kid, a neighbor had an orange one with the split window (again with the windows - what is it with the windows Blessed?) not sure if it was a true fuelie but it had the badges and the factory turbines with knock offs. I would just sit on the front step and gaze; what a car.
I think the tractor gig is my next treat it will be a long time (if ever) before I can hope to have a car off my list.

First post :)
Was reading through and this thread caught my eye. Had to share a few of my toys:

Nissan 300ZX drag car
Image

Image

Toyota Tacoma with 900hp Supra engine (sold recently)
Image

Image

Current Toyota Tacoma with Supra engine (still dynoing, 508hp at only 18psi, 18 psi more to go :) )
Image

Image

90 Miata (soon to have Z06 Corvette engine)
Image

94 Miata M edition bone stock
Image

06 Honda VTX1300
Image

And of course, our new (to us anyway) 94 FW Freedom 170
Image

Look forward to posting here and gathering information (new boater)

Nice pics! your boat looks just like our 94 Horizon 180

Question: Does all your gauges work? My fuel gauge doesn't and the sender (best I can tell) works so something is wrong with the cluster and didn't know if you notice any problems with yours.

It works but I'm not sure it is 100% accurate. I've only had the boat out twice so far. The last time out the fuel gauge only went down to 3/4 and I put in $44 in gas afterwards :(

LOL. When we test drove our boat last year before we bought it, the fuel gauge worked. The next day (the boat was then ours) we took it out and the fuel gauge didn't work. LOL Now I just leave the screws out of the floor so I can pull it up and see the gas tank to see how much fuel is in it. The best I can tell The sending unit works but the gauge doesn't. Replacement guages are almost $500 from Four winns.

Wow, I got lame toys.
I snowboard, but no pics of that. People tell me I am good, but I have a long ways to go before I think so.
I shoot, trap, pistol, and rifle.

Soon to have Supra engine? :wink:

I was thinking today how great it would be to have my Truck's 5.7 iforce in the boat. More HP, more torque, & much less weight than the 6.2.

You know, it's kinda weird. I routinely run 160+ mph in cars and on motorcycles and wish for more :shock: But I am perfectly happy putting around on our lake at 37 mph. And it doesn't even bother me when other boats pass me at twice that speed. So, to answer your question, no Supra engine swap (or any other swap) for the boat.

you like Supra engines quite a bit!!

I have a 427 twin turbo Lingenfelter C5 in the garage, and new GTR coming in next week. Circuit CAr is a 93 miata with a 1.8 swap, Boost Logic Turbo kit, and about 300 rwhp on kill. I also have an 07 Cooper S that the wifey drives. Oh yea, and the Suburban 4X4 to get move it all around.

Boat is a 258 Vista EC

BTW< I have been known to dabble a bit in the Supra community :)
