Well this winter I'm not gonna be doing anything to crazy to the car besides body work (fuckin coons) a few engine mods, and some interior odds and ends. I'll post pics of the process when I have some time but for now since I'm at work I'll just update what my plans are gonna be... *New OEM 2gb eclipse headlights *New OEM style 2gb eclipse front bumper *New RMDSM lip (I'll try not to fuck this one up too bad lol) *18x8 Volk TE37 replicas powercoated gold or 5zigen bronze *Completely Detail the entire outside and inside of the car *FP exhaust mani *Holset HX35 with BEP turbine housing *Tial 38mm wastegate (ran out the side of the bumper ) *Stage 1.5 TRE FWD trans *Stage 4 competition clutch or Fidanza 3.2 or 4.3 clutch *Fidanza Lightweight Flywheel *BC 264/272 cams *1000cc injectors (just in case ) *DSM link V3 *Mint gray leather seats (perks for working at a salvage yard) *Redo the headliner *Remove the center vents and install a gauge pod (thanks Paul) with a electronic prosport oil pressure gauge and water temp gauge

Sounds good. Some stuff I would do differently but overall it should be a very solid setup. Hey if you have some gray leather door panels at the yard, hook it up

Its about what you want. I mainly wouldn't cut my bumper for a wastegate.

Its about what you want. I mainly wouldn't cut my bumper for a wastegate. Nor would I. Not that I have a good reason like Tj might,lol. I just dont dig the style. I also dont think a water temp gauge is that needed. I love my prosports though . I'd like to remake my center vent( Pauls makes mine look like ass ).

That's the last thing that I might do...I want a wicked ass fwd but I was talking to Paul and I might just swap the rear diff and sub frame, gas tank, and exhaust so all I have to do is put in the awd trans and mount the driveshaft when I get the extra coin for it...as for the watertemp gauge I got that and the electric oil pressure gauge for $20 shipped so I might as well put the extra pod to use

Ah, still a great deal, I just remember you tossing up the idea of swapping it. Still in the long term plans?

a little update...i mounted the wheels and tires on my car last night, I have some nasty rubbing on my rear fenders I'm thinking the 255/50/18 tires are a little too much meat for the back...I just bought a used FP exhaust manifold in mint condition and a new greddy counter weighted shift knob shipped for $205...I'm thinking 215/40/18's are gonna be the ticket to get the wheels to fit on the car properly
