Currently installing this weekend:
HKS BOV
Southbend Pressure plate
XTD Stage 3 sprung pucked clutch
New outer tie rod ends
New Bellows boots
Oil temp sender for SW Oil Temp Gauge - just have to drain oil and toss in adapter

On the list for this summer or later:
Fabricate cat-back exhaust
Ethanol Content Monitor/Display
Larger turbos?
New tires
Evo 8 Wheels
Secret sauce TD04's



Current update: Virtual Dyno graph above doesn't show it as much as another one I have (351hp/435tq), but the clutch is slipping bad. Pulled transmission tonight, found a Napa special clutch (LUK). Looks like flywheel step was off (to high) and the clutch was slipping. Shame as it is fairly new looking....looks like it will be part of a scrap run now.

Also picked up a HKS BOV to replace the leaking EVO VIII BOV. Haven't tested it, but if it holds more than 19psi I am golden as that is when the current BOV started to leak. Figure that plus clutch means I can maybe get 24spike out of the 9b's and maybe 17 to redline? We'll see after break-in.

Track date goal: June 22nd, MAP Proving Grounds, BIR, Brainerd, MN. Hopefully meet the stage 1 goal of 11's on 9b's, we'll see come June. If not, time to upgrade and go back to the track. Will have tires before going to the track (Kumho Ecsta XS's).

Photos are in chronological order.

**01/24/14 update

Motor let go at approx 156k miles in May of 2012. Car sat while preparing the house to sell and finally purchased a new house in June of 2013. Started acquiring parts for round 3
-Pampena Stage 3 motor with HD wrist pins
-Walbro 400 E85 pump

Looking to pull the motor out this spring to see what damage the 2 snapped rods caused (punched out both sides of the block). If the heads survived and budget allows; I may get it running in the fall of 2014. Otherwise as I want to upgrade to bigger turbo's, it may be the Spring of 2015.

Thinking a billet 20t 6+6 compressor 9blade TL exhaust combo at this point in time, may change.

    I actually like the stripe on the side, matches the roof and offsets the white rims nicely.

    Nice car man.
