You might want to tighten one of the bolt

[tntmstr]

not letting all the cats out of the bag just yet. there are a couple prototype items that maybe used. The motor is being sleeved right now. The heads are off in another direction being ported. So the motor should be back in about a month... roughly.. But lots more parts to buy in the mean time.

Uhmmm this is a picture of the suspension before we removed it from the car. Notice the Non polished lower control arm and no PSRS or type II bar. But hey I am sure we did miss a bolt or two in the reassembly. We have notes on things before we drive it out of the shop in a few months. thanks

Pimp... so what are the goals for the car

[tntmstr]

We're not that cocky... Looking at 600+ AWHP, and another show piece to show other aspects of what we do. It also is due that something comes outta here and gets some national recognition as well as a write up in a magazine. Spend $35k on a car, and $60k on modifications should be able to make that dream a reality... As I started this post, we aren't gonna get cocky about it...........................yet.

Our .02 is if we are gonna go for 700-800, why no go for 1000hp!??! There has to be a limit, and with 600+ we have already watched a STi hit 9's... Not that 9's is a goal, but if 600+ can potentially get 9's, we think that is sufficient....

If you saw a STi run a 9.xx or even 10.xx at the drag strip you wouldn't call that 'going all out'?!?

I would

Really?!?! What would be the restrictions? One run? Fastest run of the year? Want to make it more fun and maybe do $1k buy in?

One restriction would obviously be, it HAS to be a shop car.... not a shop buddy's car.... otherwise it isn't a 'shop shoot out'

Ok, I have something to add, being that I am sure this will be my money that will be put up. Our car is going to be a complete package. So being that this is not just a track queen the stipulation will have to be that, based on a points system, a variety of events would be run. Maybe like DRIVE the car to Rock falls.... make some runs. points applied to times. ANd getting there without breaking. Then the next week enter one of the area's autocross events. Points based on PAX times..... Then end up with a Car show and let the judges know about it so we can get their individual point scores. If I was investing all this money in this project I am sure the car would end up being faster than it will be. I wouldn't have spent so much money on things that have nothing to do with speed.

Not to be picky about it but this is what we are after with a "well rounded" car. Not the fastest car.

This is one thing we don't want to the mind set. WE ARE NOT TRYING TO BUILD THE WORLDS FASTEST STI. We will leave that to the Aussies and the boys from Big Valley.

[krzydrftr93]

$1k buy in, no nitrous, SHOP car, and ONE run.

That would be sweet. I would pay to see this.

O Yeah...Car is looking great guys
