Well I guess the build really needs a big update!

I got a big stack of part that need to be installed on my MX-3 some big a cool things as some of you know my goal is to shoot for 200-250hp at the wheels.. so who cares about my goals right? lets here about the parts!

Gates Racing Blue Kevlar T-Belt
Misc. Seals and Gaskets
Fidenza Alum Flywheel
Clutch Masters Pressure plate, and clutch
Colt 210 Cams
MS1 w/coil packs, plug and play harness
P&P'ed G4 IM
Coned KL47 TB

Well besides all the cool "go fast" parts over the summer I started painting the car... but between work and my other project(1966 Mustang) I didn't exectly get very far I got my hood and front and rear bumper done and thats about it until spring rolls around ill complete the car with the doors, mirrors, fenders, and the rest of the car.. so hopfuly she'll be lookin "fresh" when spring rolls around.

I also awhile purchased a new set of coilovers and have installed them since when my Cuzco Camber plates. They are the TA's I had posted about awhile ago. over all the quailty was surpurb the ride quality is amazing compared to the GC's i was running.

Ill have some pics up for you guys in the next few days!:)
