[QUOTE="Corbic, post: 278475, member: 10079"] Alright, I currently own a '96 GT which I picked up for $2,400. It's not perfect, but its a second car and has been rather fun so far. Car currently needs shocks (riding on springs) and an exhaust (holes in each muffler), not to mention it runs rich (mmm the smell of noxious gas). Oh yeah, A/C is toast. Paint is pealing in various spots, it has an after market sunroof, missing a truck "damper" (won't stay open), cracked bumper, cracked and fogged head lights, busted passenger mirror, and a dent in the passenger door and right in front of the "rear brake air-duct". I own a set of 16s (as shown) and 2001 17's for the Car. [img]http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v242/Corbic/DSC_1293.jpg?t=1199320617[/img] Isn't she wonderful? (God I hate the white :santa_undecided:) Ok here is the plan! I'd like the car to see more track use and swapping the NPI Intake nearly killed me so PI swap and Cams are out. I may feel gritty enough to swap a full PI engine or even a DOHC.. but that seems cost prohibitive. Exhaust Manifolds (short) Catted Mid-Pipe Cat-Back MM Steering Rack Bushings (Aluminum) Rear Seat Delete CAI (most likely K&N) Suspension I'm undecided. I could piece meal it using sub-frames, Ford Suspension Package (Mach1/Bullit) and some Caster/Camber Plates, or I could just go with the Maximum Motorsports Sport Box for $1,500 ( :santa_undecided:) although the Panhard Bar install looks rather difficult. [img]http://www.maximummotorsports.com/store/images/packgd_sys/SB-2.jpg[/img] Then Fiber Glass or Carbon Fiber Hood (Cobra R style maybe) Carbon Fiber Trunk Lid Rear Gears Aluminum Drive Shaft IDK, maybe a MM Steering Shaft as well... Lastly some Yonaka Seats [img]http://i17.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/b1/d4/ced9_1.JPG[/img] Am I on the right path? Goals, reduce some of the numbness the car has, improve steering response, see some power and throttle response increases. Dial out the under steer, increase over steer.. [/QUOTE]
