basically the point of this winter is to take car of the weak links with the car and upgrade stuff as usual. hopefully everything will e ready to rock and last the upcoming season next year. this winter will include: coilovers removed the AC built tranny w/ twin disk clutch AEM EMS (ill buy it and keep it on the side, untill im totally ready. have to get the car tuned on the stock ecu first) new turbo setup, ill keep the specs to myself for now. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/DSCF7073.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/DSCF7073.jpg) as she sits now, AC is out, coilovers are in ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/winter%2008-09/DSCN1668.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/winter%2008-09/DSCN1668.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/winter%2008-09/DSCN1669.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/winter%2008-09/DSCN1669.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/winter%2008-09/DSCN1671.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/winter%2008-09/DSCN1671.jpg) this is all the AC garbage removed out of the car. tips the scale around ~35 lbs alone. ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/winter%2008-09/DSCN1670.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/winter%2008-09/DSCN1670.jpg) suspension: ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/winter%2008-09/DSCN1672.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/winter%2008-09/DSCN1672.jpg) ![http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/winter%2008-09/DSCN1673.jpg](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v259/psphinx81/winter%2008-09/DSCN1673.jpg) ill update the thread again once i start to tear into taking this damn transmission out again :banghead: im going to try to take out as much weight as i can, only thing i plan on doing as far as weight reduction is to yank all of the sound deadening throughout the interior. ---

would like to touch some 10.5’s on 100 octane. but we shall whats gonna break before i hit the track. only thing that isnt going to be touched, left to break, is the stock bottom end :lol: but since i wont have to worry about ripping apart the tranny next year, ill have a lot of dialing in to do on the suspension, as well as learning how to launch it on the new clutch setup ---

There isn’t that much work there other than figuring out what he wants to take out of the interior. ---
