goal is to remove another 100 lbs from it too. cut the door beams out, remove all un-needed wiring (abs, srs, suspension, etc), modify the IC mounting to not use the stock bumper absorbers, lighter seats (sparcos are suprisingly heavy), and a cfds.

Looks like a hell of a build up.

I have some future plans, but everythign is on hold till I decide what to do with myself.

Transmission started slipping out of gear today.

I haven't decided to rebuild it or go MTX yet.

Seriously. Hopefully soon I will have not one but two extra MTX's....

i doubt my build will ever be done. I have other things on my mind right now.

+1 MTX.

My car is probably going to be busted for a few more years now that I've decided to go ahead and go back to school.

Eh 97% city for me 3% twisties. I still wouldn't give up the manual.

I just don't have fun driving unless I've got my hand on a (insert record needle screeching across a record) OK, if I finish that statement, I know I'll be turned into Moff 2.0, so I won't. You know what I mean though.

Maybe the IPS quad tip if my ex employer ever decides to pay me my money.

I have some plans for the car. Some BIG plans. Most will call me crazy or stupid but whatever. If I do it right it will be an awesome build

Basically, the Stealth will always be with me. I am so deep into it that I will never get back out what I have in it. Not that I could sell it anyway.

So yeah, once I get some things in my life straight I am going to start looking for a totalled TT.

From there the engine will be pulled out and completely rebuilt.

Then I will start the AWD conversion. Being I have the entire car and all the wiring I will just swap the body harness. I have pulled one before so I know what I am in for. I can also do the interior however I want being it will be stripped. I will probably cage it while its stripped too. Of course the TT brakes etc will go under it but I will NOT put ABS in it.

From there the engine build will probably be 9:1 with E16G's, fuel I'll decide as I investigate more setups.

This isnt a build I expect to do in a few weeks. I know it will be time consuming but once its done I dont think you'll be able to take the smile off my face.
