Actually, I think I've done pretty well. Shopping sales, people parting cars, etc...

Hopefully my SRT-4 sells soon so I can do the turbos, clutch & such.

that's all? needs blades

Sounds like a severe set of mod influenza symptoms developed very quickly. I give you until April for K04s, fueling kit, ASP-4 clutch, possibly intakes, etc. Then, of course short shifter, and the launching programming for tranny....

Looking forward to pix!

yea wow i got my car same time as u and wow u must have some deep pockets lol hope to do most of those mods myself by next summer you will all see lol :)

Well, due to an issue with what we think is the throw-out bearing (won't know til the tranny drops), the new round of mods is as follows:

VAST Stage 3 clutch
new slave cylinder
JHM short-throw shifter

[pit viper]

Clutch is in, short-throw is in, finally got the Hella tails put on the car.
Now hopefully Wilwood will have the calipers here when I get back from Christmas so I can get those and my wheels on.

Due to the way circumstances have worked out, I'm going to have everything but the "fast" done first.

[wofman]

which short throw are you using?

JHM. Still playing with the adjustments a little, too, but at least I can get it in all the gears right now.
