If you need help lightening your S up evan give me a holler

I've been getting swamped working on everyone elses broken down car I havent had much time to grind in the garage. after this weekend hopefully I'll get some serious progress made.....Next on my list of mods are a personal weight reduction aka lose some weight I figure if the car goes on a diet i might as well follow suit.

I thought about it. Then decided why waste the time..... its already stripped out. Why add more to pretty it up. I may do a carbon fiber panel later. Right now I just wanna get everything in place where i like it and then drive the dang thing

Ahhhh So I finally have a decent update for those that dont have me on facebook. Basically. My dad and I sat down a few weeks back and wrote out all my goals for the car as well as what kind of racing I would like to do. I love drift first off and the honda engine will never be a good drift engine. The Rpm range is too high to work with. Plus with the mods I've done I'll only get around 3months of driving out of the car before its back in the garage due to rain. Im currently mocking up my motor mounts and trans mounts up with a spare blown chevy v8. Tranmission is sourced out of a Mustang cobra. So im only losing one gear. Oddly enough we only have to notch one spot to clear the exhaust. As well moving the front cross member brace up a few inches. The transmission and engine fit in amazingly. In a few weeks I send out my stock driveline into The driveshaft shop or yukon gear and axle to have the custom yoke welded on. should have both the engine and trans mounts welded up Then all I need to figure out is electrical for the fuel pump. and lights for the car and She'll be streetable again.
