Trying to bring the thread back from the dead.. my photobucket hasn't been working on my home computer so I haven't been able to upload to my thread. that's why no progress updates on here
 Some of you have been following some of my updates on the 6gc facebook page, but heres a couple pics I managed to download to photobucket   I have a sh!t ton of photos through the build, Ill see what I can do to get some images. Some recent news of the car.. I installed front poly control arm bushings which are awesome, I feel so much more in control of the car now, steering response is great. Picked up a set of 15x7 rota slips that I will use with some type of drag radial, still in the market for a tire. Picked up a new AEM boost gauge, the Prosport i had was been acting funny since the dyno, which leads me to my next update.. Brought the car to the dyno and made 304whp 250wtq ~19psi on 93 pump gas with open cutout. Car made 237whp with full exhaust (3" bpipe to 2.5" bpipe back) 60whp difference with the open cutout vs. full exhaust!! Also have been doing some homework on a possible 5sgte build in the coming years. It is a setup I am very interested in, ATS racing and other mr2 guys have butt loads of information on the build. First step is picking up a 98+ block, I have a good lead on one now so time will tell! I will try my best to upload some new pics and those dyno charts as well! -------------------- st205 powered ss3 coupe

Not a lot of updates done to the car lately, I have it parked in a car port for the winter.
Next project that will go under way soon is a complete gas tank rebuild. I picked up a new/used gas tank from Mike Kernz a few months ago and will use that for the rebuild. My factory tank started to leak which I believe is caused from the tank edges starting to rust out. Updates soon to come -------------------- st205 powered ss3 coupe
