Turbo Update
A lot of people have been asking and I've been traveling all this week but here's the scoop.
I got the car towed to a local place here in Tampa last Monday thanks to TLewis4095 and Redgar! Greg of AnteVenom has worked on another local LPE TT setup and has a great relationship with Ed of LPE. The turbos have been removed and will be off to LPE on Monday, Ed is working with me on the necessary repairs and I really appreciate everything he's doing for me and Greg to help get the car back on the road before our next race!
I have ordered the new Exedy clutch and flywheel, VERY expensive but should hold the power with very little difference in pedal pressure and no noise issues at all :) I'm also looking at getting a built tranny but the cost will be between 3-5k and since it's all apart, it's much easier to do everything now :)
That's it for now, I should be back home late tonite and touching base with Greg tomorrow to see what the status is....keep your fingers crossed :) :cheers:

Re: Turbo Update (Mean Green)
I'll be very interested in anything you find out about the trannys and rearends---I have a rodney tranny and HD 390 but will look into an extremely high output rearend--if the tranny finally fails I will have to go the 3 to 5K route myself--I like driving home in what I arrived in--congrads and look forward to the beast running---

She's not well vetterdstr :D :lol:...but it's just some company stock and warrants that's covering it all :D
From what I've gathered, this is the way to go, it's who LPE uses and can get it direct or thru LPE, it's most likely the route I'll be taking for the tranny. Will also talk to Ed to see what can be done with my current set of 3.73s :D
