That looks like a helluva project, Evan.

I'm not doing **** to my car, except driving it here and there. Tuition/books > more mods.

Why would you break anything on your car?

You should upgrade the brakes though.

I dread this topic.

EDIT: I'll give it a whirl. I have two different builds in mind, mostly influenced based on how my job situation is going.

Best case scenario:
longtubes/tuner - January
Intercooled 2.1KB - Feb/March w/ all fuel/injectors, etc
Dimebags suspension setup
To all be installed and tuned to be ready for OCMD Spring Cruise

Plan B:
Longtubes/tuner
100wet shot
Dimebags suspension

Spring/Summer:
01 or 03 Cobra bumper
New hood....TBD.

My car better be a helluva lot faster than it is right now and secondly, I'm not stopping until it whoooooooops Kugz's *** in OCMD.
