Now that my garage is almost where I want it as far as organizing it and cleaning it so I can work on the car, I am going to get the car finished up this week hopefully.
As far as specs on the car:
98 TA, about 100k miles. I've owned it since 2004. Originally an automatic.
Now:
Trans: Tick Stage 2 T56, SPEC Stage 2 clutch, SLP short throw shifter, Schoch Customs short stick
Engine: LQ9 6.0L, Speed-Pro .02 over hypereutectic flat tops, stock heads have been fully ported, 2.055/1.60 stainless valves, 3-angled, etc. Double valve springs, Futral F13 112cl cam, double roller timing chain, Professional Products LS6 Typhoon intake - port matched, P&P throttle body, SVO 36lb red top injectors, eBay stainless headers.
BMR lowering springs, BMR tubular SFCs, BMR LCA relocation brackets, UMI Panhard relocation, Spohn adjustable STB
Fuse box has been relocated, ABS deleted, wire mod done, TCS hidden, battery relocated to the trunk, ZEX LSx wet nitrous kit - 150 shot, stock stereo with Polk Audio speakers, currently has Spintech cat back but going to change that to true duals with Spintechs. Wheels are Sportmax (now XXR) 962, 18x9.5 all around with 275/35/18 Hankooks that need replacing.
I'm sure I'm forgetting a lot. Car was bone stock when I bought it and I've done a bunch to it over the years.
