shit, i need to get back into the cars, but timing just isn't right to dump money into a car.. :( ...

[C3L1CA]

I'd like to sell mine...

If not I'll have to decide if I should get a shift box, put in my 1150's for corn and maybe try shooting nitrous at it.

Store my VR-4 for winter, get some small bugs worked out, and as soon as spring hits the corner put it on the rollers.

Why do I look at this shit?

Because race car! How's yours btw?

Keep driving my stock Evo 9.

E85 already. STS.


I don't really have a ton of plans for my car, but that's usually when I do the most to it. I have a few CELs to take care of (I think I have the e85 gunk problem), so maybe a few parts to fix that, and probably a few more parts to fix whatever breaks going through winter.

New plugs, drivetrain fluids, and acc belt in the spring.

I have some random plans to go faster though:
-tephra v2/NLTS
-mini battery
-install 2-piece MR rotors
-stronger fuel system: walbro400 w/ BAP, maybe a FPR if need be
-build lightweight fmic bracket (stock one is huge and steel)
-aluminum driveshaft

crazier ideas:
-swap in a BB EF4, if/when they make one...(goal: run more boost reliably)
-swap out rear diff AYC system for an evo8 rear-end. This is theoretically worth almost 120 pounds of weight loss...still investigating this.
-I keep seeing these epic tubular T3 turbo setups....but my wallet does not agree. Maybe lotto?

For anyone interested; the plan is to strip my '95 TSi AWD Auto. back down. This time the engine will be coming out as well. With that I will be painting the engine bay, deleting a few things along with tucking the harness. I just want to make everything really clean!

But until all of this begins, I am just going to be collecting parts and working on my POS 1g.

More fuel
Little big turbo
New down pipe and waste gate setup
Rebuild t-case
Weld center diff
Maybe a bigger intercooler
Different wide band
Stall converter
Get rid of the AGX's and Tiens Blah!
Re Upholster the head liner
Tires

God you sound like you have the same ideas as me. But I won't be doing any of them any time soon lol :)

In spring just before snow melts I need to fix my serp belt and possibly swap out back to stock acc pulley's.

Then I need to roll one rear fender and put my eibach springs in.

I also need to put my rear diff bushing kit in, my driveshaft carrier bushing kit in, gate selector bushing in and underhood shifter bushing kit in.

I am going to buy an oil pressure gauge to and throw that in somewhere this winter as well.

Then I need to do a fluid swap. I am almost at 30k and I think some of my fluids might be stock, rear diff comes to mind.

In the spring I will retune for 30psi area and hope to crack 600whp at MAP.

Sooooo many things I want to do but I am tapped for money. /Pray for big tax return and big bonus I guess.

Nice! Dude I did all this the first few weeks I owned my X and I haven't touched anything else(other than to double-check torque on the diff bolts after a few miles of driving). No short shifters or anything, I'm SUPER happy with the setup!
