Yikes! Been forever and a decade since I have updated!
The glasspack is on, and fun. I have liquidated nearly all of my 2056 screamer parts. Currently the carbs, heads, cam and lifters are on ebay. I have installed a rear stock bar... phenomenal difference in handling! Past friday I had 930 tierods installed, new Fuzion 195/55/15 tiars all around and a 4-wheel alignment. Better handling! WCC06 is in 6 months, so my plans are changing for the car. Within the next month or two I will: -Increase displacement from 1.8L to 1911 with a 96mm P&C kit, bump the compression. -Install a lightened flywheel (12 or 13 lbs). -Install new chromoly pushrods. -Install a pair of refurbed stock 2.0 heads. -This should make for a sweet fast-revving 1911cc, still usable with my L-Jet (read: low investment cost, good power gains). -Re-do my door panels with some GT look... smooth with only window winder and door latch. -Weld in rear-trunk hinge console to have a closing trunk. Within the next three to four months I will: -Do some bodywork (new panels, fill some holes). -Remove the wheel-well fender lips (clean-shaven). -Change the wheel well openings from square-ish to round... who the hell makes square wheels? No need for flares (yet). -New front and rear trunk seals ($KA-CHING$) -Shave 200lbs by gutting my rubber bumpers, fabbing some custom aluminum mounts with a series of rivets, bolts, washers, and aluminum sheetmetal. -PAINT IT A PRIMARY MATCHING COLOR. Contemplating a "Stripe" clone, but 2 of them with some metallic blue? Within the next five months: -New windshield. -Wash it.
