This will be the last update before the rebuild starts.

Here's a couple shots of the PBM suspension arms installed and the RT Tuning knuckles:









Club Loose is awesome and decided to put on an end of the year clinic, so I got a chance to try out the new knuckles. This was my favorite event of the year. I got a lot of help from some really great drivers and got a lot more comfortable in the car. This was also my first attempt at tandem drifting. Here's a couple pics and a video from the clinic:









You may have noticed in the video that the back of my car is a little banged up. Basically the guy in front of me spun and since I'm a noob my natural reaction was to slam on the brakes. That left the guy behind me with no where to go and this happened:






So now it's time to tear it down and start the rebuild

1/3/11

We're starting the winter rebuild. I want to post our plans and progress, so guys can offer feedback and opinions on how to make it better.

Chassis:
Fix smashed rear end
Bigger rear crash bar
Tub front fenders
New rad support
New v-mount
Clean up wiring

Motor:
Rebuilt stock bottom end
Brian crower 272 cams, springs and retainers
Arp head and main studs
Apexi .8 head gasket
S15 oil pump
Top mount turbo manifold
Custom intake manifold
Gt3071r .86 a/r
Power fc d-jetro for tuning

Body:
New body kit (same one just with a front bumper and not all fucked up)
Fiberglass doors
New paint

Before the season starts it'll go over to RT tuning for tuning and an alignment.

I'm sure there's a lot more little stuff that needs to be done too, but that's the basics. One thing I'm not sure about is those cams. I think 264's might be better for my setup, but I don't have any first hand experience with either cam. Anybody using a similar setup have any opinions or advise for me?

We couldn't get the passenger rear quarter back into place so we bought a used one. We also replaced the truck, center panel, tail lights, and made a stronger rear crash bar:











And started working on the tubs:
