3000GT VR-4

Bought it back in May after totaling my '01 Eclipse (lucky to have lived, learned a LOT of lessons). Overall it was in good condition, but in need of some work. I've been restoring and repairing a lot of parts under the hood and working some interior restoration. Not planning on building huge power, but shooting for as close to 400hp as I can get on stock turbos, and then eventually to the ~500hp if I upgrade the turbos. I'm more focused on reliability and safety rather than horsepower.

Spec Stage 2 Clutch, 3SX Lightweight drive pulley, 3rd gen lash adjusters, K&N Filter, 3SX SS Y-Pipe and pre-turbo pipes, TopspeedPro-1 4' Titanium-tip exhaust, deleted A/C, short shifter

In progress: Fidanza 12lb flywheel, OBX TD04 manifolds (DEI wrapped), 3SX adjustable cam gears, 3SX Turbo oil/coolant lines

In progress: Glowshift gauges, battery relocation to rear compartment, deleted midget-holders (backseats)

Cianci Victory CF Hood, and a nice new paint job when it's all said and done. Stripped tons of rust, refinished the sub-frame and started refinishing the wheel wells (which had, no joke, 1/2" to 3/4" of dirt layered on the inside). Deleted rear wiper and antenna.

Speakers don't make it go any faster...

TEIN lowering springs, 3SX adjustable rear control arms, 3SX front strut tower bar

In progress: Cusco rear strut tower bar (depending on how the battery relocation goes)

17" x 8.5" Enkei RPF1 (~16 lbs/wheel)
Toyo 17/275/45

In progress: Upgrading to Powerslot rotors at a minimum while I'm doing brake repairs and maintenance
