I'll take a pic comparing a t70 to the 42

LOl ok maybe 20lbs but after lifting the sucker in and out of the car it feels like alot.. don't really have a target power because I'll always want more current setup I'll be happy if its get close to 350+whp(safe)

I'll shoot for more once I do the fuel system upgrade, new bigger injectors, ignition, haltec .

LOL... I've been hearing everyone here giving you a hard time about not making your mind and i've always assumed that you're just like everyone else getting new thoughts about cars every now and then... BUT man you DO change your mind A LOT!!!

on a more serious note tho, are you selling your car cuz it rattles? and how bad is the rattling? cuz i'm getting SUPER annoyed about my car rattle at certain spots too!

thats awesome i was wondering though, aren't you worried about the internals (rods, etc...)? with this setup you'll be about 100 whp more than stock, you think this or even more would be safe considering the internals?

I love my car, but it's time to move on. Rattles are only a small part of the reasons why i want to sell it lol

And yea, half the time i have no idea what i want, but i always come back to the 2nd gen sedan because it really is exactly what i am looking for in a car. Sporty, Comfortable, Looks good, Professional, Technology, and it hauls a$$.

LOL you always go back your first love car.. My bro wants to get a Fiero (gayness) because it was his first car. It think he is going to kit the car then throw a rotary or a v8 engine in it.

It rattles in the drivers side door panel (pops)
It rattles in the sunroof.
It rattles in the rear left passenger door.
It rattles form both the rear window bolts.
The passenger seat rattles.
The drivers seat rocks.
THe passenger door rattles.
