3.0L Turbo Budget Build

[nmw2006]

Tranny is on hold for a bit, i got my new (lol) motor from shadow24v and am in the process of getting it fixed up to go into project Phoebe.

Money is a serious issue at the moment so my hope is to put this car together for this year with parts i have sitting around. Gotta console the old racing bug a little, and the only way that's going to happen is by going with what i have.

So... for now Phoebe will be 3.0L/A670 N/A and non-lsd...

Current list of what i need to finish

1. Finish the chassis.. some poly bushings, custom motor mounts, auto conversion, etc.
2. Finish building the motor... install cams, SR 6610 springs, button things up
3. Finish rebuilding the A670... install RVMB, finish building clutch packs, find some new bushings to replace the ones i destroyed
4. Finish MS2 and gauge installs... run necessary extra wiring/lines, add some relays, etc.
4. Put everything together
5. Go fast (somewhat) again

Hopefully in a month or so i will have a dedicated, running race car.

Spirit is sold as of 1/12/13. Project Phoebe is still on...eventually.

EDIT: And broken...new owner grenaded the trans less than 2 weeks in...After I beat the daylights out of it for 5 years. Fail.

EDIT2: And resold to someone in Akron with parts and also the owner of a Daytona IROC.

I bought a DOHC/5spd '97 Neon Sport coupe this spring and have been abusing it at the autocross and rallycross courses in stock form. Fun times

Kinda consoles the racing bug but it fails in the torque category.

I actually drug Phoebe out of here cave for the first time in about 2 years the other day, but other than that no real progress. Just no money, I'm working 60+ hours a week to break even.

Bummer, sounds like you need a new direction to earn money.
