I'm just praying the snowboard season is short, and we can get back to racing. Right this moment, I can't say I'd rather being doing one or the other.
I just got my LX running today. It's a long time until April...

I would love to get to the track yet and get some more seat time with mine, but I washed and waxed it and put it under cover today.

I need a winter break as well --
*Need to redesign the fuel system a little
*Try a different Exhaust Manifold
*New race seats & Belt
*Install suspension bushings (full kit)
*Make new motor mounts and tranny mounts
*Save for Dogbox
*Install roll cage & Scattershield
*Lose some weight in the car -- hopefully at least 200# while retaining HVAC/Heater controls, cruise control, stereo, etc.
*Get different tires (Hakkapeliittas or Slicks)
*Fab up a new 3.5" or 4" exhaust (turbo-back)
*Dyno/Re-tune
Hopefully all of those things will be done by opening day 2007. Maybe by 2040 instead. By then they may have an indestructable transmission designed for my car.

I think that I will stay AWD. I think that a PPG dogbox gearset will look nice in it instead.

That would do the trick. PPG makes GOOOOD stuff. Ever contact the guys at Andrewtech Tim? They do wonders with the Subaru trannys....I think they have dabbled in the EVO trans as well. Pricey but good.Originally Posted by twicks69

Not including the upgraded input shaft, transfer case, or driveshaft. That puts it around $11-12K.
Sucks to be AWD.
