Unrealistic upgrades

[Mike C.]

Josh at DPI actually sells a serpentine upgrade kit. It's not cheap, though….

Ooh.... Merry Christmas to me! Thanks Buddy!


Thought of one: I want my D to sound like the Countach in Cannonball Run...

My unrealistic wish list:

-Stainless Steel frame (unless I become a lawyer or trip over a random $13K in cash)
-Supercharger
-Flux Capacitor replica that I didn't try make myself but paid a lot for
-4 Door Sedan Conversion
-Stainless Steel child seat, with gull-wing arm rests
-a Tony Stark racing suit

haha, nice. ol' Sparky should be running like a top after that

Sparky does run like a top. It gives me the occasional problem and the fascias are warped and need paint, but Ye Olde Sparke is hardly the piece of junk everyone seems to think it is. I just have to fix the air conditioning and get the cruise control hooked up before Orlando. I will probably end up making numerous electrical upgrades in my spare time... because that is what I do with this car.

I seem to recall you having idle misfire issues; how did you end up fixing those?

I decided that it isn't a misfire and the engine simply will never idle smoothly. I've driven it several times since then without incident.

Ah, gotcha. Yeah, odd-fire, ain't ever going to be all that smooth.

-Porsche flat-6 w/ six speed
-Proper modern high-performance tires in correct sizes
-Full leather interior
-Light weight frame (ie. aluminum)

-Proper modern high-performance tires in correct sizes

As opposed to high-performance tires in incorrect sizes? Forgive me, but I don't understand.

Instead of the 225 60 15s that are often used these days (apparently). Just easy to find, readily available Michelins or Pirellis that have all the latest technology and are available in the correct sizes. 235 60 15s

[Farrar]

Ah, I see now. Still, most of what you listed seems possible to me... especially if you do the frame and drivetrain work at the same time. All it takes is money and time.
