Time for a awd swap on it.
Yeah, I remembered him telling me he went there. His dad was the mayor of Shoreview or something if I could remember. I'm guessing that's how he had the fundings for the body work.

, it connects. 2.5" to 2.75" apexi downpipe to 2.75" dual fart magnaflow's.

Agreed that while you're getting a new tranny might as well do the AWD swap.

EDIT: just saw the new motor, looks nice. That FP exhaust stud kit is really nice, I got the same thing recently.
It's a Kamanari bumper. It does look like the talon bumper but it really sticks out. I won't be rocking it as I have the 2GB front. The unhook BOV tube was the ricer days of me. Yes I do know about the venting in the atmosphere. Thanks for the luck, I'm hoping this year it starts up. It was hard finding an AWD transmission and I was waiting for a 2g transmission to come up. Found a FWD locally and bought it.

Looks like Fun!
I picked it up from a guy who had it hot tanked and cleaned up already so I didn't have to go through all of that work. The valve spring compressor was around 60-70 dollars. If you want the exact price, I'll look it up. It works very well and is probably the best bang for the buck tool that I've bought for this motor.

The talon wheels to my suprise cleared the Brembo's without spacers. I have a set of GSX wheels and they did not clear the Brembo's. I installed the Brembo's with the 18's that originally came with the car. It needed spacers and extended wheel studs to clear. There was a big difference in stopping between the Brembo's and single piston calipers.
