Hi, well to get to know me a bit better my name is lucas im from fargo nd. 19 years old. first car was a 94 duster auto tbi and since then i have been addicted. since then ive owned another tbi sundance 5spd, 5 spd duster 3.0 and currently the 2.5t1 sundance and just picked up a 89 daytona es 2.5t1 5spd last weekend for a daily. After looking around town for a good year i finally found a turbo p body. Picked the car up in the spring of 09 then the slow going project began. To get everyone up to date here is a list of things that have been done since then.
blew a head gasket right off the bat (welcome to tm eh!) so i decided to go through the top end and get that out of the way.
forward motion 475 cam with supporting rockers and springs, and got a 3 angle valve job.
turbos unleashed exhaust manifold
turbonetics t3t4 set up
40+ injectors
fwdp cal
3 bar
3inch turbo back exhaust no cat
a/c and p/s and balance shaft delete
58mm tb
tu air fuel monitor
adj fpr
god speed fmic
hks ssqv bov
tu 6 puck yellow clutch.
and then fall of 09 it started smoking/knocking. pulled the motor apart and in the first cyl the piston skirt was mushroomed by the pin.
so since then i have ...
found another cb and got that bored .040 over
wiseco pistons
brian crower rods
and now waiting for money for 4 bolt mains before i start assembling the bottom end. i am also going to be going e85 so fuel system and cal will be gone through. along with ported head (staying 8 valve)and custome intake manifold.
i might have forgot some things but that is about it for now. i will post whatever pictures i have on my computer and probably more to come next week. also over the winter updates will be slow i am in school for auto body and basically broke haha. hope everyone enjoys!

Welcome! Just drove through Fargo a few weeks ago, only TM I saw in the area was a white Daytona ES

Something is goofy with the image links you posted, but I was able to grab a few from your album, looks like a nice car:
