Default Few changes for 2010
I've made some changes for this season. Installed UMI A arms, BMR manual rack, strange SA coilovers up front with 300lb springs, and a set of TSP's 1 7/8 headers. I still need to finish buttoning up my HSW wet kit and racetronics 270lph fuel pump. I've also decided to ditch the 6 speed. I have an FTI converter and flexplate on the way, as well as a Rossler terminator 2 with a few upgrades. Once the trany swap and nitrous is finished up, I'll be taking the car to wolfe to install the 10 point and through floor subframe connectors. Big thanks to FTI, Rosslertrans, TSP, Madman, BMR and byunspeed. Heres some pics...

Also have a UMI anti roll bar on the way, as well as a dipstick from madman. Should also be ordering the rear speedglass today also.

I'm going with the auto for the consistency, I was never very good at racing the car with the manual transmission.

Picked up the vibrant performance mufflers today, and fedex also delivered the UMI Anti roll bar, the box was destroyed, but the parts were all in one piece.
