i lost my storm in a crash, but i got some good money out of it. so i bot a new body with out trany and motor. i have a 1.8 model block and head. i have did a lot with it. sleeved to hold a 8.1 compression, custom turbo kit, ported the head, custom exhaust 3in open 2.5 down tubes, 40bl injectors, and a piggy back system for the ecu.took it to a Dino with ecu harness and all, and fired up turned a littel, it making a 450hp and 475tq with a 30lb of boost. drop a 1.8 model trans in it and 2nd pass down the track i broke something in the trans.

but now i thinking why not go awd the Isuzu impulse rs has a awd trany. got a friend that can rebuild tranys so why not have him rebuild it and see if he can get it to hold the power im making. but im not going to drop the 900 for a trany then another 3000 for the rebuild and it not built up.
