It has a little bit of stuff done to it, but it was done when i got it a couple of months ago. It has an exhaust which the guy said he had made custom, which I have no idea why since there are so many readily available. Spearco intercooler, intake, HKS blow off valve, HKS EIDS, exedy clutch, dash gauge pod and a ton of stereo stuff which was also in the car when i got it.

i bought 18" X9" rota SVN wheels for it, but do not have tires mounted on them yet.

did you buy it up on harts road? (i think thats the the name) in Hampton Twp.? There was a VIII for sale for the longest time there with a spearco core. I drove past it about everyday on my way to work....was going to stop and see about it for a friend and then it was gone.

So what do you think guys, should I do valve train upgrades for my cosworth cams? I really don't
want to but I dont want to float a valve either. The thing is, it seems to be a pretty big job, completely
pulling the head. I would have to pretty much do it myself, as labor would be insane I'm sure. It would
be easier to do the ported manifold, 02 housing, head studs and cams at the same time though.

There is alternative methods to installing springs and retainers without removing the head.....My friend installed springs and retainers for someone in Altoona on an VIII and he didn't remove the head.

mike, my eclipse gsx had a floating valve, i ended up needing a new motor but anyways, the guy that helped me out and is pretty cheap was jason urbanick, he owns the garage down on the island behind the court house, with the big fenced area with all the cars. maybe you even saw my white eclipse sitting out front for awhile.
