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.

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