~Motor and plans~
GSR 84.5mm Darton sleeved and copper o-ringed block
9.8:1 CP pistons

~Turbo Kit~
MB Racing T3 topmount turbo manifold
Tial 40mm gate
Full-Race T67ho turbocharger ( with plans of a BW S366 upgrade).
3" custom SS downpipe to full 3" exhaust to a Vibrent 3" pan muffler in stelth black to not get ---- from the "fuzz".
Tial 50mm BOV ( in uber cute Purple for the ladies )

Omni Power rear lower controle arms
DC front upper and rear lower tie bars that i have had foreverr
Skunk2 rear upper tie bar
GSR rear disc brakes
and stock CX fronts with Brembo slotted stock replacement rotors ( kept it CX in the fronts so i can runa 13" rim for slicks)
Blox from camber kit

~Rubber~
M/H 24.5" x 8.5" on Bogart 13" x 8" rims

me and my wife spent 2 hours putting the motor back in the car ( which was only on by the back bracket and a jack).. thanks baby!
