Chapter 1
Planning is Everything

When i was a wee lad... just kidding. The plan for the car is simple, a) Get it running, b) Keep it running and c) Make it as fast as possible in the budget i have.
This time around i am going to make sure i have completly happy with the setup before i start driving, meaning that everything that needs to be taken care of will be.
Before the synchro went out in second, the car had no speedo because in taking out and putting in the tranny 5 times in 2 months the 4th time it was taken out the speed sensor got caught on the motor mount and snapped.
The other issue i was having is that i didnt feel like the knock sensor was working properly due to the amount of knock i was reading on dsmlink. but also when i took everything apart i accidentally pulled the wire out of the knock sensor.... oops.

Chapter 2
Goals for the build

Goals are the same as when i first got this car. This car will be used as a daily driver/Race car for Drag Racing. I would like to see over 500 FWHP (not hamster power). I would like to be able to throw the slicks in the trunk and drive to the track, put down some good times and then pack it up and drive back home.
The main thing with this build is i am not going to leave anything to chance. I am going to make sure that all of the parts are in good shape, that everthing will work as intended and that i get the most out of each part i put on. From Brakes to a Wideband, as long as it takes this will be done correct.

Chapter 4
Estimated time when this project will be complete.

When is a DSM ever truely complete. This project however i am giving a good guesstimate of 1 month. But I am not going to restrict myself with a time frame. I would rather take the time to do it right then do a half assed job which will just cause me to use more time under the hood.
In past projects i have been in a rush to get things done for some race or track or dyno day. So with that said we shall see how long this actually takes. I have a lot of decisions to make still with this build but we will take it one step at a time.

Our race package is geared toward the more serious DSMers. The all out racers, or week end warrior types. Those who want to fire out of the hole and shift above redline, this is for you. Our Race Package is proven to handle 500+ ft/lbs of torque and shift at over 9k RPM's, you won't be disappointed.

Awesome project, Tom!

This car will be used as a daily driver/Race car for Drag Racing.
The car looks like it's in nice shape. Why gut the interior (judging from picture 3)?

New Throttle body (coming soon)
As in a new OEM throttle body, Q45, etc.?
