Well, most of my "winter" upgrades just got completed LOL. I bought an 89GT with a lot of good suspension parts and some other goodies on it along with a complete 33 spline 8.8 spooled rear end. It all went on the car over the last month.
AJE chomoly k-member replaced Groundpounder Mild Steel
Aerospace front drag brakes replaced Mark VII 5 lug rotors/calipers
Newer (still used, but better shape) front Strange 10 way struts and 14" 130 lbs coil-over springs
Built travel limiters because newer struts are too long.
33 spline, spooled, 4.10 gear, girdled and braced 8.8 with 5 lug disc conversion replaced Moser 31 spline spooled 9" rear with 5 lug disc conversion
Kirkey race seat replaced old plastic RCI race bucket
UPR Pro Series anti-roll bar replaced old TRZ anti-roll that was weak and flexing
Upper torque box reinforcement kit installed (UMI kit)
Lowered car about an inch on both ends
Full race alignment done at Chris' Car Doc in Humble, TX
SKRC front motor plate installed, had to build custom bracket for alternator
Here are a few pics of all the work...
The rear end just pulled from donor car...
Old rear out...
New rear in...
Aerospace brakes installed...
Upper torque box reinforcement kit installed from UMI...

I want to add boost to the M3, just not looking forward to spending upwards of $10k to do it. I thought the ol' modular 4.6 was comparatively expensive to mod back in the day...
I also want to drive down to Laguna Seca/Mazda Raceway for a track day or two.

As soon as I get back into country I am installing my tr6060. Hopefully in spring I can buy this twin kit and sell my V-3. Get my tiger racing super louver hood painted along with driver's side door that got egged. Maybe even finally have my motor built instead of sitting around.
