After many sleepless evenings, and lots of time pondering the meaning of life without a 3000gt, I have come to the conclusion that I am not going to get the car back on the road this summer. I still plan on going to all the events and gatherings, so you guys are just going to have to get used to seeing the Honda for awhile. With all the being said, I am NOT giving up on the mits! I am going to rebuild the motor, strengthen up the transmission and build a mini monster that will make all "wrong wheel drive noobs" proud.

I am dropping the compression down to 8.5:1, upgrading to larger turbos (DR500's or something in the range), 550cc injectors, bigger fuel system, '93 TT ECU, mild head work, FMIC or DSM sidemounts, LSD, taller 5th gear (crusing on the freeway) and I am even thinking about converting to a GM MAF in blow-thru.

Anyone know how stong the stock rods are? If mine are not damaged should I keep them or will they be a weak link in a 450-500 HP motor?

Your rods are trash if you have no pistons any more...

Actually, a local is selling his freshly rebuild 2-bolt with a new forged crank, shot peened rods and (stock TT) pistons. Think he's asking $2500.

Love you too.

We need to fix my usb port so I can tune. You done with schooling yet? Drop me a line, and we'll get on that. Sooner the better.

And she's almost to the point where it's "just spend what you want and let's get this over with."
