2.4 header, eco exhaust manifold
new motor =]

the only effective way to bypass the speed limiter (remember, just a track car. dont get your panties in a wad)
the bare essentials
you can see the rice bits back there (spoiler)
my absolute FAVORITE part of this car. the pink lips on teh rims
eco auto trans. $100 bucks with TC
got some new rubber waiting for me =] (the bottom 2)
i got into an accident with this rice kid in a saturn SC2 who claimed his car was worth $17,000. he was like "its worth 4 times your cars value!" to which i replied "um. no it isn't. its a saturn"
btw, dont ever say that.

Get all the parts you need in a pile, and drive the car into it.
They will find their way into the correct places.
whoops....... can a mod please move this over to the photos and media, if it hasn't already been done?

I'm more concerned about the clutch pedal and shift knob, the fact that it's an automatic, and the signature to boot.
Oh, and the whole auto Eco race-car deal. Hope you have some serious plans.
You didnt do your research before starting this did you???
You did NOT have to rewire the whole car, any 2000+ J-body is a plug and play for the Ecotec swap, just swap the ENGINE harness and PCM.
If you wanted to get rid of the speed limiter, just dont plug in the VSS, simple. Or just wire in a switch to shut it off when you reach 170km/h.
Also, if this is purely a racecar, why are the stock engine mounts being used instead of urethane, and why is it being driven on the street?
^^ LOL true
Good luck with the project.

Looks like fun
Though I fail to understand why you cut the wires leading to the fuel pump... when the fuel cut at 108 MPH is done by the PCM, and it's the injectors that are shut off....?
