New OEM style are the best option. Napa doesn't know how much torque will be traveling through them, so use that warranty.

Yeah, my friend Derick ripped one of my boots while installing the LCA while i was working on the Rear strut and trailing arms so i need a new CV Axle boot figured i would replace the hole thing while im at it. and since the engine and tranmission will be out ill do the passenger side while im at it.

Status Update:

GXP Brakes that the other powdercoating place ****ed up, are now being restriped down and re powdercoated by a more professional powdercoating place for free, even going to rebuild them with my parts for free. DPS Powdercoating, they also do online orders check em out!

Just used my discount and my store credit and purchased a ZZP 245mm Torque Convertor and a Billet flexplate and a engine Gasket set.

I am now pretty much maxxed out for **** i can do to this car. and once this arrives ill have everything i need to do the build (Fluids and Gaskets included)

You could still twin charge it and drop in a 5 speed instead of the auto...

**blueguy** · 12-20-2011

You're no where near "maxed out"

**DanPrixGTP** · 12-20-2011

theres always something more you can do

**Spartan GL** · 12-21-2011

i was mostly refering to maxxed out with what im doing on this build. everything has been touched just about unless you have some ****ing oddball wacked out idea like twin charge or manual conversion

Could go with a CNC block and sheetmetal intake

No no no!

Your car has the potential to max out an M90 with a correctly dialed in snout pulley.
It will be maxed out within... reasonable funding, minus the short deck rebuild IMO.

The last item on my list is Comp Cam Lifters or an aftermarket rocker that would work with my cam and heads.

The ZZP Aluminum heads just have the springs and retainers on them currently and i dont want to reuse my stock stuff.

**Sandman** · 12-23-2011

Why not just use stock lifters and rockers? There's nothing wrong with either of them for an involved build.

I guess you're only real option for rockers are YTs from one of the vendors. Intense has the most ratios to drool over.

BREAKDOWN STARTS TONIGHT. Photos to follow!

All the parts are loaded up going to drop them off at the shop and burn the midnight oil and break it down so it can get sent to paint and the machine shop

well we only had an hour and a half tonight for the teardown.

Got a pretty good start just had trouble finding the fuel line disconnect tool.

anyone got a HP tuners file for a build similar to mine? would help a great deal for my tuner when he gets around to it.
