Well it's been a quite a while since I've posted an update to my car so I figured now would be a good time to post the start of a long winded update.
Basically at the end of last year I pulled the motor to do some clean up and check what I suspected was lifter tick. I had big plans over the winter to get rid of the 3 or 4 piggy back control units I had and go to one stand alone unit. After some quick work I got the motor out found out the lifter tick wasn't a big issue and got to work, here's a list of the changes I made:
Specialty Z 3" Expansion Downpipes
AMS Manifolds
AMS 3" to 2.5" Test Pipes
MAJOR wire tuck ( still have a little to finish up)
A/C Delete
Fuse Box Relocation
Rebuil PS pump devaning in the process
Began powdercoating numerous items over to a new color scheme
Replaced cam seals
Installed my SECOND 98 Spec Transmission (First one was DOA)
Nismo Exhaust hanger bushings
Relocate Radiator overflow using a smaller bottle
Install Microtech LT16s Standalone Engine Management
I also got collectors plates :)I will post up pictures of most of this when I finish up the small bits
and tomorrow. Obviously with the Microtech standalone I had to have the car tuned professionally, so today after a long wait I met up with Corey Parish at SlowMotion Motorsports in Columbus to get the car tuned. After changing spark plugs and gapping to .28 the 8 hour day was underway :). For those that don't know my current mods on the car are listed below:
--Engine--
Short block courtesy of Weber racing
Wiseco .20 over
Redecked block
All passages deburred and cleaned up

nearly all the short block completely redone and built to spec

AMS 3" to 2.5" test pipes

--Drivetrain--

Nismo needle bearing
98+ Transmission
CZP pivot ball and steel braided line
Bridgestone Potenza RE750s Finally after spending all day first of all learning how to tune Microtech, and carefully shaking the car down I was pretty pleased with the results considering we were only running 93 Octane and 20psi
490 Torque
470 Wheel Horsepower
Sorry that its a picture of a printout, thats the only way I knew to get it online, results will probably end up on their website at some point.
All I can say is this thing pulls hard and fast to redline in every gear.
