Hello all. This is Cristina, my '93 TBI daily driver. I dont know how many of you have named your cars, but since I have two Spirits now, it was an easy way for people to know which one I was talking about. Cristina doesnt have too many mods at the moment other than a Monte Carlo bar and the the ES;R/T air dam. I hope to retire her in a year or two so a complete makeover will be definitely be on the to do list. Lots of ideas from side exit exhaust to sublime green and flat black piant job with the R/T body kit to an attempt at a possible AWD conversion. I am going to MPI. That's certain. Here's Lana, my '92 R/T


This car looked exactly like this when I picked it up. She was a farm car from Iowa, but amazingly all I did was clean the interior. I got her torn apart to fix a rod bearing though. Here's my two cars together.
I got a page on cardomain(Lana: Nate's '92 Spirit R/T - Massillon, Ohio) if anyone wants to see more pics. I know I'd like to see alot more of the other AA bodys on here. These cars are just sick sleepers. I'm loving all of 'em. Good work guys.

Definitely looks mean. Sheesh!! I wish I could say that bout the R/T. Love to see it in person and maybe have an AA body showdown at the strip sometime after the R/Ts done if you're interested.

I would be down for that.

Where do you race? 42 probably. I run at Thompson, and rarely get out to Norwalk, I like the smaller tracks.

I might look like a goof sayn this, but I'm only 20 and the R/T is the first car I've had worthy of taking to the track. Never actually did a sanctioned race, but I know all the rules and techniques. Our neighbor's had a 1/4mile gravel driveway. I'd take any vehicle I could get my hands on and practice. Most the time, we'd drag dirtbikes or four-wheelers. After I got my license, a couple friends and I would go out to a straight empty stretch of 241. My friend also had a TBI Spirit. We raced there until well we got in trouble. I've been a little eager to see what my mostly self taught rookie experience can do. Any tracks fine by me.

Not everyone here is an old fart. I'm 21. Ive been racing since I got my permit.

Ive had probably 30 or so cars over the past 6 years or so. I have taken just about every one of them to the track. It doesn't matter what car it is, bracket racing is testing you, not your car, so its still experience.

Come up to Thompson, or i'll come down to 42 one week and we can race a bit. Its always a good time.

The clean white one I just posted was a 53k mile car that I sold. The guy I sold it to wrecked it, I ended up getting the car back....here are a few shots of what it looked like after. Very sad.

The silver one was just an '89 ES though...I would have rather see that one go through three trees and two telephone poles than that R/T. It broke my heart when it rolled back up to the house on a rollback!

Truthtfully, it's amazing that guy lived. That car was twisted like you wouldn't believe. The floor board were crushed, roof was buckled, frame bent in a number of places. He went spinning out of control at what I'd guess is over 100 mph. I saw where it happened and was stunned at what the car went through.
