1.) Sparco Evo II US with now Scroth harnesses (I had Sparco but I did not like them much plus Scroth feels more secure.I also swapped out the old stock springs for Z06 springs and Belstein Sport shocks.
2.) Interior updates besides seats-new center console, new shifter boot and new Momo Commander SW with a quick release -blue to match the other interior updates.
3.) Finally- I had the LS1 based sleeved removed as well as the torn and burned spray lines and replaced with an LS3, H/C packaged- dynoed at 495RWHP safely tuned and I'm happy with that for now-maybe next year I'll consider another power adder may an SC.
4.) New Clutch hydraulics-new LS7 clutch, TOB, flywheel, new brake reservoir- Tick adjustable MC and remote bleeder
5.) New Kooks 1 7/8s' and new Borla Atak- sounds mean as hell.
6.) Vararam
7.) Upcoming will be some of the engine covers and valve covers possibly color matched to the Blue of the stripe and possibly going to a Z06 brake kit- I'm trying to recover financially a bit.
8.) the last thing I'm considering is replacing the HRE 540's with some HRE P40S or P40SC-I want to keep the 18/295 and 19/345s sizes but that costs money so we'll see.
So pictures will follow soon but I want to wait until I'm done.

Well a few updates- I love the look of the car since I saw in the magazine way back when. The look of the car still holds up well but it was beat down and tired-SO my updates are primarily performance driven to ge this 97 cookin again. Since I got it last year, it has slowly but surely been getting updated:
1.) Sparco Evo II US with now Scroth harnesses (I had Sparco but I did not like them much plus Scroth feels more secure.I also swapped out the old stock springs for Z06 springs and Belstein Sport shocks.
2.) Interior updates besides seats-new center console, new shifter boot and new Momo Commander SW with a quick release -blue to match the other interior updates.

5.) New Kooks 1 7/8s' and new Borla Atak- sounds mean as hell.
6.) Vararam
