Fast Forward to today. The car is strictly a track car now. It has been on jack stands for the past months as I go through a list a mile long in attempt to get ready for next track season. I have new AST coilovers sitting in the garage and a 5 speed to install.

All marked up and ready to cut. Roughly 2 inches of the rear quarter and my pretty JDM bumper were cut.

Time to hack up brand new Voltex fenders. I cut the lip off for more clearance and reinforced some mounting
areas.

I renforced all my mounting areas on the fenders (angel hair and resin) Drilled all the necessay holes and mounted the nut rivets. Test fitted the wheel and tire combo. The wheels are 22 offset with a 8mm spacer ( 14 offset) with 275's.

All nut rivets have been installed.

Got some work down on the car over the Holiday. Pulled the Turbo out. Cleaned up wiring under the hood. Completely removed the A/C system (to do this I needed to remove dash to pull the heater core out etc) suspension is gone. I managed to get rid of 65lbs so far. Next up is a 5 speed swap/new clutch.

The 5 speed swap is currently taking place. I almost have the old 6 speed off...Still waiting for parts for the new 5 speed.

Good stuff dude. Looks like a really mean build coming together. Which clutch are you going with?

What gearing did you go with for the 5-speed? And stock or built? I just went through the swap myself (not totally voluntarily, as my 6-speed bell housing decided to split in HALF at the drag strip). I went with the Bushwacker Stage 1 with Evo 8 gearing.

Nice progress.

Are you going to leave the A/C fan on the car, or pull that off, since you removed the rest of the system?

It is a stock tranny (IX) so stock gearing. I am going to have it rebuilt by TRE is the future with different gearing.

She is going to be mean.

Awesome build. Some cool parts esp the voltex ones.

Why did you go with the Invidia 02 housing? I remember searching on this and there was a big discussion how it made no power over stock. They compared the works one as well during this comparo. Dave Buschur was the one doing the testing.

I am asking as I wonder if you read otherwise. That 02 is huge compared to all the others out there, so I was shocked how it didn't make power.

EDIT - Oh and 1 more thing - I remember reading that the 02 sensor won't reach the new bung location. If you see in your pictures, the 02 housing has the bung on the other side.

Again, I am not hating etc, sir - just asking is all!
