OK:
Where to start?
The car has the stock 164Q motronic with mods to the plenum and mods to the bracket for the cable operated throttle. The Headers are modifed 164Q with custom stainless downpipes. The transaxle is wonderful! Mike Besic built the box with special ratios, the 4.10 Diff and extra limited slip clutches. This is the best shifting transaxle I have driven. The throw is a bit long but it proves that you don't have to modify the shifter to get something that works well....just make sure everything is correct and lube it! I don't know the ratios off hand but they seem to work very well on the street. We shall see at the track.
Yes, the car will go to the track...I am a member of the AutoBahn Country Club in Joliet...so I will have plenty of oportunity. My wife drives a S2000 that is set-up for the track so I will continue to drive that most often as this is really a street car. I really want to take it to the track to evaulate the suspension mods. Lets hope the thing is more neutral than other GTV-6's. Right now the brakes are stock and I am sure that they will be the limiting factor. I have Andy's (Performatek) rear SZ vented rear set up but I have not yet installed it.
Yes, I did most of the suspension mods at one time. BTW, the poly kit for the Watt Linkage made a really nice improvement on it's own. I would recommend that for anyone even a stock car.
I purchased the Wheels and Special Nuts through the Tire Rack...although I have a connection with one of the engineers and he assisted me. Since then I see that Charlie DiMarco has nuts and centering rings on his Serpent AutoSport website. With that set-up and 5x100 wheel can work with the correct offset. I think I am going back to 16x7's as I think taller sidewalls would look better on the car.
Thanks!
