      Interesting……Why are you doing it? For the challenge?

      I bought the car as a salvage title and brought it back to life after it was rear ended. I had a lot of fun driving around in a mid 80’s sports car packing some big motor modifications. Back in the early 2000’s when I first got it, I was cruising around with 365 rwhp which was a lot back then, when the car crossed into the 400’s at the wheel, there wasn’t much stuff on the street that would stay with it, domestic, exotic or otherwise. 4 years ago when it hit 500 wheel with a dogbox it was still a really fast car. Now though new cars right off the dealer floor are packing major power so I had to upgrade it. Now its got a 3 rotor with a HKS T62R 81mm turbo, motec m800, some rare JDM front end fiberlgass. I just want to put it together and terrorize people with the 800+ rwhp it should make. All said and done I probably have 40K into a junker car.

      Bought some pipe and cobbled together a 4″ exhaust system for the wreck today.

      Putting a 12,000.00 transmission in a 1000.00 car… Quaife qb369g, when I ordered it originally, it was a listed as “Viper” spec transmission. A little bit of screwing around to get into the car, but it had to be done. The stock transmission or the HKS dogbox I have are not up to the motor thats in the car now.
