Jack, how is yours with the new mounts and shocks?
Can you tell a difference?

The ride down the road is much better, less harsh. Not sure if I can tell a difference with the motor mounts, but overall much better. Thanks

Once Mark is done with the car, and I actually have it here at the house the only things it'll actually NEED is an AC recharge, and possibly new AC seals.

I'd like to add Greg Brown exhaust like others have said along with Porken Chips. Swap to a GT/GTS shifter boot with a shorter shifter. Probably powder coat or paint the Silver MY02 wheels Black. DR swaybars, and maybe figure out some boost options. Fitting 315s on the rear with minimal fender modifications.

Paul C. interior bits here and there. Euro driving/parking/headlights. Replace Amber markers with Red. Front splitter?

6.5L Stroker at some point. That should be good along with some boost.

Short shifter install, RMB, fix sunroof, fix rear hatch release, remove and repaint front nose, paint brake callipers, install SS brake lines on rear brakes and plan at least 3 road trips to put some miles on.

Just fixing whatever already broken, while being at it change out things that I think will break, and fix whatever that will break next.

That should always be step number one, step one took me almost four years.

Hi

Trying to figure out how to improve the aerodynamics for above 200 and then a 220 run....

And possibly lowering my UK record for the 1/4 from 13.03 to a 12...


All the best Brett

Good words.

Here:
-New rubber brake lines
-New fender
-Spark Plugs
-Fuel Filter (soon)
-Fuel Injector Hoses
-Drop links
-Swaybar bushings
-Engine wiring harness (in progress)
-Front door speakers (or maybe wiring, TBD)
-Paint + hail damage(eventually, hail damage was on car when I bought it)
-Interior redo (eventually)
. . .

It will be a while in the making.

Next year... I might take a small break on depense...

This year was :
2,200$ for new rims and tires.
1,080$ for new leather door panel. They are amazing.
1,700$ for the installation of the new engine harness. Mechanic found some other problem I might solve next year.
256$ for a broken rear wheel bearing. Scared the hell out of me.
200$ for a new car stereo. Someone stole the faceplate of my last one.... But not a great lost. New stereo is awesome.

making it look stealthy street looking.
scraping all the interior reminance off, and then Painting the inside .
putting in the door panels and putting in new door speakers.
mounting the removeable stereo , sub woofer and amp.
put the black hatch from 928intl, so the entire car is red, but the wing, splitter and mirrors
fender flare clean up body work and paint
change the oil.

I heard they were going to replace the seats with low cost sport seats and replace all the engines with Chebys or Fords. JK
