Everything done to the car:

1) New front-end brake system (new master cylinder, reservoir, lines, rotors, wilwood 4 piston calipers)

2) New clutch master cylinder and line

3) Entirely new fuel system (factory tank, stainless steel braided fuel lines, new pump, new filter with built in regulator)

4) Entirely new cooling system (HMR475 radiator, Lindsey Racing aluminum expansion tank, stainless steel expansion hoses, 944 Turbo shroud/fans)

5) Converted from power steering to a Porsche 944 TurboCUP manual rack

6) Ceramic coated "shorty" headers

7) This is the important one... a 2004 Holden/GTO LS1 putting out roughly 400 HP at the flywheel.  (I have yet to put the car on a dyno, it will be soon)

8) Custom installed stereo/speaker system
