i was tlaking to chip this morning over e-mail.... i just can't seem to decide what i want to do...
here's a snipit of my email to him...
I got the hatch working again, and i picked up a head package for it too.. portflow valvetrain, skunk2 stage 2 cams, skunk2 intake manifold, etc etc... that should put my GSR's power level over that of the ITR (the cams are larger than itr profiles). but, i would like to bump the compression when i do it too. the cams should be in the mid 11:1's to low 12:1's, but my motor is only 10.6:1. swapping a head on is an afternoon afair. ripping out pistons, getting the new ones pressed on the wrist pins and so on, is not.
i think i can run in street mod with all this and azenis.
but, it needs brakes bad. bill took it out the other day and he over heated them on the street just driving around.
and the shocks are shot. i really would like to put all that together before autox, but i don't think i have the time, nor the money this month. which is because of option #2...
the sti.
stock, it runs in a-stock, which is an impossible class IMO. i don't really stand a chance. I don't know the car at all. its night and day driving it compared the the hatchback.
it's also brand new, and i kinda feel bad beating on it.
plus, i don't think i'm going to fit good with a helmet in there. the roof handel is like right there and would definitley rub/hit my head. plus its my daily driver. i'd like to keep it kind of nice.
which makes me lean back towards the hatchabck...
and then, there's the del sol in the garage with a fresh b16 80% installed. lol
i gotta finish that thing and sell it to give me space in the garage to do all this work
and then i get to thinking, hrm... i got Tein HA's on it just sitting there collecting dust while its up on jackstands... which will bolt right on to the hatch...
and the strut tower bars...
hell, the 4-wheel brembo disc brakes i put on it... will all fit onto the hatch. but then i have two cars up in the air and no place to do anything. and a complete trailing arm, prop. valuve and so on brake swap is not something i had in mind... damn cars.... lol
damn, i'm rambling...
time for lunch
