bought it in july of 2003 after i graduated high school
Apr 21
so i have the fuel system all wired up. but still waiting for the tank to come in yet from glenns performance. the 8 rib kit is 95% installed except for one small spacer which is for an idler pulley that i was missing. 2.80 pulley is on the blower.
i picked up an oem 98 cobra bumper which is at the paint booth with my carbon fiber hood. the holes are being filled so this way there wont be a front plate any more and then itll be painted to match. the hood is getting wet sanded and then partially painted red and then sprayed with a special UV protectant clear coat because it was starting to look like crap from being outside. the whole car needs paint but id rather go fast, so it can wait. i decided i really need to clean out my garage so i can start parking it in there.
i need to have a 6 point roll bar installed but i really dont want to spend the money on that, and also weigh down the car more.
oh, and im going back to a built solid axle. i will miss the way the IRS looks on my car but its just too costly to build up. not to mention the 120lbs of weight savings which ill get with the solid axle

ordering a 2.80 pulley and all 8 rib stuff to replace my 3.12. should make around 22#s of boost. also getting a glenn performance sumped tank and all new fuel system from there to the rails that will support 1000hp. im shooting for the 650+rwhp range this time around. wish me luck!
