Current mods:

B230F with what we think is an IPD turbo cam
Working on a T6 swap
Drivetrain
M47 swap
7\9 series carrier bearing
Homer's short throw shifter
STS bronze shifter bushings
Suspension/Brakes
2 coils cut out in front, 0 rear
Kaplhenke hybrid torque rods
IPD 25/25 sway bars
Cadillac ATS BBK w\ SN95 master cylinder
Wheels & Tires.
BBS LM 17x8/9 et40 with 38mm adapters (effective et+2)
Federal SS-595 235/40R17 rubber
I picked the car up from Ohio in November of 2014 with 108k miles on the clock. It had cut IPD springs and some terrible steel trailer wheels.
So I opted for some Kaplhenke suspension goods, and installed the factory wheels again. Got the car to stage 0
Decided I was far too fancy for steel wheels and refinished a set of RS for the car, and swapped in an M46 with a bum overdrive to rid myself of the autotragic.
After a few months I got tired of beating the subframe to death and consequently returned the car to factory trim.
This weekend, however, I got a wild hair up my ass. Dragged the engine out in prep for turbo, a T5 swap, and some good cleaning.
Will retain a factory shortblock for now since everything looked and functioned very well. Turbo is an eBay t3/t4 .50 trim, fresh turbo head, unknown camshaft, DeeWorks T5 adapter, Billet flywheel and clutch setup from JohnV, and chips from TLAO. Should wake the car up quite a bit hopefully. Will be ordering all the suspension goods shortly, but for now I just hope to get it done for a car show on the 15th.
