It's not the fall that hurts, it's the sudden stop at the bottom!

well i dumped out the 3.94 tranny, also learned alot about the car. has booger bushings, and solid mm's. changed out my throttle cable, was like 6 feet long, and no idea why. changed it from a 95sohc car. fit in perfectly. yeah im happy, it stays in 5th gear now and runs down the highway better.

not bad i like the hood, looks like the fenders could use some major body work. It actually looks just like my buddys but hes got the viper hood instead.

yeah the fenders got crunched cause the ex curbed it at like 45 and broke the lower ball joint from the arm, sheared it in two! well that sent the 17" rim through the fender. waiting to put some modded stock fenders back on it then fab in the Z3 pieces.

its going to be boosted. i've got the srt rods and pistons match honed to the block, and a stock turbo out of my buddies stage2 car with the srt front mount. im trying to get another guy i know to sell me his extra srt intake with stage1 injectors. he just has to off load the long block first. far as i know im the only one in my area to have a 2.4t swap in my 1gen. alot of srt's around, localy i was like the only 1gener in the area. until im proven otherwise.
