I'm considering buying Brian Crower Connecting Rods and CP pistons, T850 transaxle with the quaife differential or a clutch type/OBX for the T350 gear box, Brian Crower Stage 3 cams w/springs and retainers, and Fidanza cam gears.

As of right now...I'm finishing up a few other projects before I dive into this one. However I'm attempting to get the block and the head to the machine shop so the process can begin. Decisions...decisions...decisions...

Starting the modifications...

The car was quickly modified... receiving these parts shortly after its inception.
-Koni Adjustable Shock Absorbers
-H&R Race Springs
-Energy Suspension Bushings (only a few installed)
-Hawk HP+ brake pads
-Brembo Blank brake rotors
-Motul 600 brake fluid
-Falken Azenis RT-615 195-60R-14's

I fabricated a few parts including
-I welded 15mm bolt-head onto rounted out 1/2" drive tension hole for the powersteering bracket.
-Short throw shifter w/a threaded post and installed a skunk2 shift knob (jdm y0!)

Here is the car after the above modications were performed.
