Although, technically speaking as of this moment I've got a 3.2. The engine is coming out next Saturday and my fun begins. Picked up my gaskets and some RSR wire holders from Henry @ Supertec yesterday. The last "big" expense is a call to Mr. Wong for a new chip.

Sigh........... if only that were true:):):)

I hope. I'm gonna have $8k into this upgrade on top of the 10 I spent 2 years ago on the rebuild.

But then once you have that nice engine there is the.......
wouldn't a new shifter be nice
perhaps I should upgrade the suspension now that I have more power
I really like the look of those fiberglass bumpers.
yada yada yada.................

If your pushing 300 h.p. or more you should plan on getting your trans beefed up. The stock gears won't handle the torque for very long.

That's why the thousands I've spent on brakes and suspension will come in handy. Ruby is fully developed in those areas......pretty much at the end of the spectrum for a street car. It only takes an additional $30K to turn a $10K car into a $13K car. ;)

I've lightened her a couple of hundred lbs, but haven't gone to any FG body parts yet. But then again, none of that has any bearing on the expenditure for the 3.4 upgrade.

efhughes3 02-14-2010 10:58 AM

Actually, with some quick addition in my head, it only takes an additional $35-40K to turn a $10K Targa into a $13K Targa.

Can an 84' Carrera with a 3.6L be an HC? :)

THIS IS AN AMAZING PHOTO!

One of the best I've seen. Do you have any information on how it was done?

Thanks dude - courtesy of Jamie Lipman (James Lipman +++ Photographer United Kingdom)

Essentially me following a Volvo 'station wagon' at around 35mph, tail open, Jamie strapped in and hanging out the back with his face (and camera) hanging about 3 inches from the tarmac

Mad man personified!
