I finally finished it.
this thing started out as a real 35 anny. I then autocrossed it in NASA class"D" and finished 4th in the Tampa aby area in 2006. I enjoyed racing the car however it's very difficult to remain competitive with a heavy car on short tracks against a butt load of Honda S200s. (in other words, prepare to buy lots of race rubber).
So, I really enjoy driving it through the Smokey Mountains to visit my parents, but above sea level it was significantly down on power. I added a 6psi Kenne Bell blower, followed shortly (real, real shortly) by a set of cobra front brakes.
The last major mod was swapping in a 99 cobra IRS, which I just completed about 2 weeks ago.
My father just had a medical emergency and I had to make the bonzai run up on Thursday and back on Friday afternoon. The car blasted throught he twisties up near Unicoi Gap and with the blower had plenty of power, and with the Cobra brakes (now at both ends) plenty of whoa as well. It avergaed 23 mpg on the way back.
I really love this car. I intend to write a significant tech article on it in the near future when I have time.
For now, this is about it......

The next project is a 4 cylinder 93 notchback, part of me says make it a turbo street car, autocrosser, maybe 351 and turn it into a drag car, I'm not sure, I like road racing a lot though.
