Toms Project...

Why do all that to a FWD?

Why not? I had plenty of fun with my FWD.

Talk to Barton about how "fun" a relatively high hp fwd car was, seriously.

I enjoyed being able to spin them at 70. Its Tom's money, let him do what he wants with it. Lets not have another AWD vs. FWD debate.

I agree, Tom do what you want! Buy some slicks and a wheelie bar :) Thats a big project, its given you alot of headaches, good to see your sticking it out!

Did you have to call them? I can't get ahold of them through email, or through PM on tooooners.

Yeah i had to call them, The guy Alex answers the phone like its his personal cell phone I think i have heard answers like "What up?" and "speak." LOL

Jakey: Unfortunatly its gonna have to be the stock 2g throttle body being that the Magnus is flanged for one. Anyone know if there is a way to fit the 1g or another better throttle body on a 2g flange?

I actually like the FWD, Sure i would rather have AWD like my Auto GSX was but this car is ten times faster then the Auto.
Slicks are definatly in this cars future. and with the LSD and the DSMLink Launch control i should be able to set my launch pretty well.

1G and 2G flange are the same bolt pattern.

[tpunx99GSX]

well that makes things easier :) thanks shane.

This guy will take either a 1g or 2g throttle body and bore it out and do a half shaft modification. $140 shipped and he'll take your 2g tb and bore it out and you will have a 62.5mm tb http://www.throttlebodys.com/

Heres a couple new pics of the progress.
I have thought about a couple things while the engine is out, And, im am thinking it may be time for a new clutch (southbend), and perhaps maybe going with an SCM61 turbo, which then means bigger injectors, (possibly 1000cc) and some other fun stuff. Im am kinda contimplating it right now. but its likely going to put the project back another month before being complete.
So i have come to a couple questions:
Do you guys think it is worth going from a PTE 50 trim, to a SCM61?
Which injectors should i be looking to get?
Should I wait on the clutch and turbo and just get the car in great running shape, or should i say fuck it and get everything done while the engine is out?
Is there anything else i am missing that you think i may need.

Looking good!

Yes, I would go with the SCM61. They arent really all that laggy.

Is the Magnus intake made different? Looks weird, like it has a patch between 2 and 3 runners. Interesting.
