I am curious on what you guys are planning to do within the next few months, mod wise.  Myself, I am doing a bov, underdrive pulley, and 2 pillar pod.

Well, my motor is getting rebuilt. Installing a larger cam, maybe larger inj., the turbo is getting rebuilt and the front housing machined to fit a larger compressor wheel, 5-speed, and hopefully 3" exhaust from turbo to tips.


Oh, and it's going in my 89 SE.

My biggest mod is getting a legal plate on the back of the car, followed by 25-30hp  brake pedal switch, a 170 horse steering column (THANKS DAVIS), another 60 horse per 1/2 shaft if ive got any money left, 15 horse for rewiring the engine harness, 80+ if i take the crappy interior out or 25 if I patch it.  oil change for another 8 horse (synthetic of course), 17 horse O-ring repair, 61 horse for having the broken TGP rim fixed, 122 horse from new/functional brake calipers.

And yes, those are exact numbers. all these mods and then some....If i get a job lol

Sunshine is on the block right now getting 24# Accel injectors, custom rail mounts, FFP mounts and a pulley.  When the injectors get done I'll take it to the strip and make a nights worth of passes, then bring it back to tweak a bit and add the rest.  After it all gets done (the end of this season I suspect)  I will tear it down over the winter and get a SPEC clutch and AL flywheel, LSD (undecided which one) then do the build I described in the perf. section.  

The auto is going to get a tuneup, a set of 40 seriers flowmasters, and just get all the bugs worked out of it.  After that I will leave it alone.  Black Sunshine is my fast car, but the auto WILL be in the 14's before I leave it alone.

I would look for a different wheel. the stock 5 spokes are only 16"x6.5". you will loose 1.5" width. i would find a light weight aftermarket wheel to replace them if anything.

I believe he's talking about the TSTE, so he wouldn't be loosing any width on the wheels.  I plan on doing the same with my TSTE.

Guess I'll have to lock the wheels good.  8)   The 5 spokes are 16x7 compared to the STE's 16x6.5
