top notch lookin ride..

Id be afraid to walk near it with the paint on that ride!
I was able to pull a consistant 16.9 in my Rampage with nothing more than a resonator in place of the muffler.. I was at well over 300K on the orignal setup..

Had a blast and beat on it in some autocross events..

Ever thought about makin it handle a little better?

Best handeling mod Ive done to it was the rear www.polybushings.com rear anti sway bar kit.. It got rid of that feeling when you take a corner and shimmy when hitting bumps at the same time.. Made the car really level out in corners..

That was the most drastic night and day difference..

then I went for the Koni coilovers and rear koni adjustable shocks in the rear, flipped the axel in back and turned down the front eibachs.. 17" wheels to give it a slightly different look.

I like the wheels ya got on there now..
what kind are those?

I got mine from www.tires.com (discount tire)

Thanks for your compliments PentastarTurbo, it is nice paint, but this truck is very well taken care of, at least I like to think that.lol. I really think the wheels are sharp, they are acually 15" Konig "Reigns", and they are really similar to yours, but yours are obviously larger. I really like your gfx, how was that putting on? I have an idea from a friend on how to make and put them on, but i'd like a 2nd input on how you did it. Your car looks good man. I did read about yours and that bar, I don't think i'll do that mod though. I think i'm going to start with the cam, carb.,headers, k&n, and go from there. I'm thinking really seriously of just buying a trubo daytona or charger and forget about turboing my rampage. Thanks.

The ground effects were factory.. They were a direct connection catalog option..
What I was told by the orignal owner (im 2nd) was that it was a dealership showroom truck.. They added a bunch of items to it to help sell it sence nobody wanted em..
Ground effects package, air dam, direct connection floor mats, direct connection 2 piece external tonneau cover, direct connection valve cover (removed because it cracked) and Carroll Shelby 13" Talladega wheels.. (they would be awesome in a 15"!) If at all possible.. just keep the trucklet fairly stock and get a car to mod and get the boost on the road with..

thats what I did for a while..

leland,
that is one very fine rampage you have there. as far as wireing harness/tranny's/motors/GFX's/ or a flat hood from a SC. ive got em..... i dont know what your looking to do motor wise. i have 2 T1's one needs rings, the other has about 100k on it and is fine. i also have a 89 2.2 common block ( strongest block they built) but it needs a full rebuild. i have the side GFX, rear bumper, and rear 1/4 skirts from a 86 SC. i also have a uncut wireing harness from the same 86 SC. it is a T1 harness..
and there is a junk yard ight by my house that has a 83 SC there. it has the flat hood w/ scoop, all the GFX and such.... not real sure on there condition though.... oo i also have two S/C bucket seats too. they need cleaned though. the have the "CS" logo in them....
and im right here in northeast ohio.. Ravenna.. not sure where you are but if you need someone to say " hey earl, what in the hell is this? ( holding car part)" " awe its about $600 bucks" i'll be glad to help yea out..

Anything new on this... I know the rampage was hit -- any progress on repairs and conversion?

What about carb/turbo instead of carb/supercharger?

PentastarTurbo · 02-24-2006, 12:25 AM

got hit?

ForceFeedit · 02-24-2006, 12:28 AM

Yea i thought in november or when ever that leland said he was hit in a parking lot by some girl.... did I miss read that?

I was wondering if he had gotten it fixed and made any progress....

forcefeedit-Yes, you are right, a teen gal hit me in the passanger rear quarter. The page' is fixed now and I'm getting ready to get the gfx for it built. It looks just as good now after the repairs, so it's un-noticeable now. I am going to do a complete gfx. I will post photos when I have the gfx on...Leland
