and never put it back together!!!!


I plan on removing the tranny again. for a Mainshaft(mines Twisted so the D/S wont slide smoothly)

get the 4th Weld wheel and 2 new front tires probably going with the Nexen SB802's again. walmart has them free ship to store for 52 bux each! i cant find anything else in that size for anything even Close to that price.

Finish the cold idle tuning. Rest of the tune is good. just need to varify with a wide band.

new chromoly Driveshaft so i dont shatter the stocker.

and MAYBE some paint.


and camarokid why are you removing SOOO much shit? needs it to Auto-x? i could see lighter for drag but??? not being a douche. serious questions as i have never done it.

lol well with autocross and roadracing the lighter a car is the less weight is transferred when under a lateral load which is why mitatas do so well. My car isnt exactly my daily anymore and I think I reached the point of not caring so it is going to eventually become a full blown track car. That list was more or less just ideas I will will probably only actually do half of that (for now). Also I need to change my pedals the stocks suck for heel toeing. Iam beyond addicted to autocross and road racing its more of a sickness. Plus what I'm doing is nothing compared to people on FRRAX, some actually cut the rear ends and reweld them to add negative camber on a solid axle rear.


On a side note you should see a 5th gen race clocking in at 4k with a driver its so terrible.

yeah i know the 5th gens are pigs. just never put much thought to weight on a road course.

Plan on driving mine...
Nothing until spring time when it gets warmer out.

A typical road race car like this weighs about 3000-3100 with a driver in it.

Replacing the blown up ls1 with a 32k mile short block
having the stock 853 heads cleaned up nice with a valve job and have them decked. Maybe up the compression a bit.
Fixing a torn up arp wheel stud
A bunch of clean up work. Already flat black the engine bay area. Primed and coated the oil pan, timing cover, valve covers, throttle body.

Well if all goes well doing some shakedowns in florida throwing in a cage and some corbeau's in it, parachute and all the safety gear needed. Also building up a forged motor......And trying to work on the M3 LS1 swap but thats next.....

Damn sucks about the motor how many bottle you put through it? I know when you where in MA it was a good amount.
