> > Has anyone built a fully prepped STS classic SE-R?

The answer to this is YES!!!

My SE-R is nearly Fully Prepped for STS running in the NER SCCA www.ner.org,
Boston BMW, www.boston-bmwcca.org, NESCC, www.nescc.org,  the only things
missing are the CPU and front Stress bar.  And it is proven as,
unfortunately my co-driver and not myself won the SCCA Nat Tour in Rome NY.

What is done is.
Steering wheel, it's a 91, PRE Airbag!
UR Pulleys  the 91 doesn't have any rubber dampener crap on the stock
pulley.

KYB AGX with Ground Control coilovers, with a fairly high rate spring
(Confidential)
Suspension Tech. Front bar, Nu-Tech Rear Bar, poly front control arm
bushings, Courtesy Cat back exhaust, Custom Ported Exhaust manifold, instead
of a $400 header, Place Racing Intake, Prime 15x7 wheels, with 205/50/15
Azenis, Carbotech Mean Green pads, make up for not having bigger brakes.

This week it's getting new front wheel bearing and radiator, and some other
maintenance things.

Other than that stuff, there really isn't much more that can be done that is
worth anything.
