It will be a good project no doubt. Its definite that I have given up on the SHO, its not worth my money. If I want to spend 10 grand to make something all around, I’d rather just buy something that is already well rounded. And it will be around as early as this fall, given that I locate a decent specimen. 😉 BTW buy my car now 😃 Its officially for sale. ---

God damn, I wish I could buy that one so nice . But yeah SHOs suck, if anything once I finish both trannys off I can move on to a new project involving my current setup if it works out well. 🙂 ---

**Today’s progress:** Removed A/C Tensioner Removed A/C lines Removed condenser unit Removed fender liners Removed more sound deading material Removed Side skirts Removed fog lights to provide provisions to direct cooler air to brakes Removed side courtesy turning lights to provide provisions for a cold-air intake Broke downpipe to manifold bolts. :doh: > [@TrueBlue](#): > > oooooh baby. you and your bro gonna run a grocery gotter race after it’s done? 😉 Pffttt… everyone knows a gutted car can hold 2 to 3 times the amount of groceries than that of a fully loaded one. ---

the engine wil be fine unless he spins a rod because he has over 190K on this engine on the origional bearings. > $20 on control arm linkages silly non SHO knowing people lol clutch, i don’t think you wil break 3rd gear with the shitty tires your running IMO you wil just be spinning till 70~mph and will probably break traction again on the shift to 3rd. ---

> [@taurusho](#): > > How hard was it to remove the AC? I was going to do that to mine until I lost interest 😛 If your looking for power gains forget it, it’s not worth trying. I’m haveing issues with the evaporator cannister and compressor still. And also there is such a small amount of drag you might gain at most 1/4 hp, if not less. Not even close to worth it but I’m using that belt to drive the whiney thinggy.
