Anyone have really huge plans for their car, like tearing the engine apart and doing internal work or any crazy body mods to stand out at shows?

New wheels, more carbon fiber goodies, and new clutch & flywheel so I can get this damn 400hp project completed.

Finally finish the engine for the Tib. That's pretty much the last step, then he's done



Gut the engine bay in the 2 and get it tubed. The 7rib is staying put for now, but I wanna get this propped as much as possible. Then coilovers and suspension rebuild, install of quaife steering rack. CF qtr panels and Styleauto rear bumper, plus moar weight reduction wherever possible. Stock I had it weighed at just north of 2400 with everything in place, I want to cut as much as I can before the motor swap.



For the 944 I'm going to have the interior gutted by the end of the year, so next year after the engine is done for the Tib I'm going to pull hers and send the bare chassis off to be repainted. At the same time I'm going to send the Torque-tube back to Driveshaft Shop to get rebuilt, and start my hunt for a Posi-968 6-speed again That should be fun.





In other words:

And wondering where my savings keeps going
