Fall 2005

History:
Well, I've had my car since just before the end of my junior year in highschool (1998). After spending every last dime I had saved on the purchase of the car (including a small loan), I didn't have money to mod it right away. I saved for a couple years then did a catback exhaust (flowmaster 2-chamber) and got wheels (American Racing Torq Thrust II's 11x9.5 w/275/40's in front, and 11x17 w/315/35's in back.) 315's, along with rims that had to be custom build due to custom backspacing are not cheap, so I was broke again.

Presently (September 2005):
Now that I am out of college and have a real job, I have started to buy stuff for the car again. Last spring (2005) I bought BBK longtube headers, and a catted h-pipe. I also upgraded the clutch to the King Cobra kit. While I was down there, I replaced the leaking rear main seal...which, by the end of summer, was leaking about a drop a day again...grrr. Now that I have gotten into autocrossing, I will be adressing the wet-noodle chassis, weak brakes, and "4x4" suspension before I add any more power.

Future:
Over winter I plan on putting in Cobra front brakes, struts and springs, possibly some '03 Cobra A-arms, some decent control arms, caster/camber plates. Full lenght subframe connectors are on the list as well, but I will have to find a shop to weld them in. After that? Who knows... maybe a panhard bar, 3.73 gears, shifter, 331 stroker with a Kenne Bell, a 7-speed SMG and a 1.21 gigawatt flux capacitor. :D
But seriously... I want to eventually get into open track road racing, and maybe someday do some actual competetive wheel to wheel style racing, so I need the suspension and saftey equipment before I need more power.
