Looking nice!
Put the x pipe on last night as well and WOW this things sounds so good even with stock mufflers! Really smoothed the idle of the car and you could really feel the difference. Definitely made some people turn their heads last night!

This reminds me of when I just got my car and started throwing parts at it. Its a great feeling but be careful. Its addictive and can turn into something you didn't expect!
Haha yeah man I keep telling myself not to go overboard but then again The little voice in the back of my head keeps saying buy one more thing haha

No more progress yet on the car. I’m in the process of getting a truck because the 2vs been a huge headache lately. I went back and forth on the idea of going pi swap and run that while I build the non pi motor on the side and boost it this winter. But now I figured I’d park the car when I get my truck yank the motor and build up the suspension, new rotors struts caster camera plates quad shocks ball joints k member front and back control arms etc and build the motor as well. Boss rods stock crank/block forged pistons (stock bore) have 96black clean up the stock heads etc good cams new tensionser and guides from mmr edlebrock intake long tubes and the rest of the bolt ons
What? Motor went limp?
Yeah what timing to :/ slight knock when I rev it up hasn’t felt good either these past few days. Losing oil pressure as well. I’m looking forward to swapping it with a pi motor and building this one up for the time being
Pi swap it is, just looking for a motor. Does anybody have any input on this swap? I’ve read that you have to swap oil pan valve covers and timing cover from your npi engine to the pi motor. Other than that is it just bolt in and go? How’s it work with stock computer
Update on the car: I found a motor out of an 01 Gt For it. But The car is a real pos right now. The motor fell on its face the midpipe is rubbing somewhere, the front is squeaking (ball joints) something’s rattling in the back, my abs wire I believe is cut, and now the transmission is spitting fluid from the pan. So I’ve decided since I’m pulling the old motor anyways I’d go ahead and slap in a tubular k member with good control arms and good bushings then work out all the little kinks. Anybody have any k members or control arms they’d recommend?
If youre looking for a budget setup, go with UPR. Ill warn you though, there may be some fitment issues and youll need their bolt kit. If you are looking for the best of the best, go with Maximum Motorsports. Their setup is top notch, but it comes with a price tag.

The issue I had with my upr was the welds hit the shoulders on the bolts. Thats why you have to run their bolt kit. Then the coil over kit was loose on the strut body. Good thing about UPR though, you can get spring perches and run stock springs with stock control arms. Trust me, I am not an advocate for the UPR k member, but it is a reasonably priced solution to this question.
I have one I’m selling but it’s for pushrods. I changed direction with my build after buying mine.
I have a couple guys local who have them and have no complaints. That’s why I bought my standard one and I’m gonna but their auto-x version once I sell this one
