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!
I bought all that stuff in like June while my car was down. I had too much nonsense to deal with in Fall when I got it back to even do this stuff. Hopefully this is like a case of beer and a Saturday in spring to get it all done.

Debating if we are going to pull the trigger on trying to sell this place/buy a bigger one.
If that doesn't happen, stealth will get a bunch of pipes such as exhaust, intercooler, if budget allows standalone +E85 + all the boost the 9b's can push out.
If we decide to pull the trigger on a new to us house, then the stealth gets nothing.

Put in my other race axle and maybe get an ignition setup so I can run the boost I want.

Getting carried away,
Building the motor
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
EF3 isn't little. Sounds like you will be the one to beat at stock appearing class.
I'll play.
- 12-plate rear diff
- Hawk HPS brake pads all around
- Blox motor mount
- Brake Master Cylinder Brace
- RS Trunk Bar
- Catch can
- Some interior touchups
- More aggressive alignment (technically will come in Spring)
- Maybe a mini battery kit if I can source one cheap enough

I'm ripping the DTHSTAR (the ratty Starion with the roof rack) apart for good, and hopefully get my 88 out here from Ohio, and start the mods on it (including the motor from the DTHSTAR)

Nice! I don't mind helping sometime in my garage if you want, those are pretty easy installs.

Sweet, I can't wait to see this thing ripping it up!

On his car that is gonna be badass!

Just rearranging the stocker or are you doing something else? You will LOVE the motor mount, shifting so much improved!
^^^ I'm going with the Weir Performance MaxGrip LSD Kit which has 12 plates instead of the stock 8 plates. Here: http://www.weirperformance.com/maxgriplsdkits.html (http://www.weirperformance.com/maxgriplsdkits.html)
They've also indicated they're working on a machined pressure ring to convert to a 1.5 way LSD instead of the stock 1 way. So I'm going to get in touch with them to see about the timing of that (and hope it'll be ready by Spring), then do it all at once.
