So since there seems to be very little happening lately I figured I'd start a thread for my car. I finally got the thing officially imported into Canada and registered in Quebec and then a week later blew the motor.
I'm moving very slowly on this so far - just lacking time and funds to go at it all out. So far I have pulled the oil pan and everything on the bottom end looked OK. Then pulled the front bank plugs to see what the pistons looked like. Seems to be some fresh scoring on the number 5 piston so now I'm planning to pull the motor and take off the heads to see whats going on in there.
Will be replacing the clutch while its out - have a new LUK clutch and fidanza flywheel insert ready to go - The spec I have in there has been making weird noises since 5k miles.
I also bought weapon R headers and a bassani catback from troll96se that I will be putting on at the same time (I still need to go down and pick them up). Already have an optimised stock y pipe. Thinking about throwing in a hi-flow cat while I'm at it.
Not setting any lofty goals at this point - hoping to have everything shaken down for the start of track season next year.
