    Default Nother Chicago Burb Newbie

    Purchased a used 2004 Redline end of last year, ya I know 2004, ugh.

    I've been hanging out on RLF and one of the members suggested I check out over here as well as I am told the Grand Poobah over all things IRL is over here!

    I participated in SCCA instructonal event back on April 2&3rd and had a blast. Definitely looking to pick some brains here as well.

    Not a ton of great pics yet but here's one from last weekend.
    http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?op...=1584922756841

    Mod list:

    Previous driver mods

    GM Stage II, ZZP canned tune, GMPP extrude honed mani & exhaust, 3.0 pulleyboys S/C pulley, GMPP Dual-pass with Option B, ZZP H/E parallel to stock, K&N Typhoon CAI, OTTP Stage I drive axles, B&M STS, Interceptor Scan gauge, Autometer boost gauge

    235HP dyno/14.0 sec 1/4 (search previous owner channel revhrd4 on youtube if you wanna see it)

    My changes thus far

    Rear wing delete, Stoptech premium blanks, Hawk HPS pads, Progress rear sway

    Plans

    Rotated 04 mounts if only someone..ahem...could make them for me
    Antenna delete
    Koni Yellow Strut/Shocks (purchased) with Cobalt Pedders swap
    PRS Hardcore Rear Sway
    Powergrid Endlinks
    ZZP upgraded shift bracket (purchased)

    Wants

    CF trunk with lip spoiler, LSD trans swap, Phenolic head spacer, Griffin H/E, Single Pass, 60's, 2.9 Pulley, ZZP full 2.5" exhaust, billabong mild port/polished head, custom tune, 17x8 "lightweight" rims and r-comp tires for SCCA solo II days

    Car needs to stay a daily driver in the winter so can't go too overboard. Also to try to stay married through all this Just picked up a weekend job to start saving. We'll see how much the boss actually lets me put into the car.
