Image
painless wiring and my own descriptions lol:
Image
replace rear suspension:
Image
time to get rid of that stock bumper:
Image
much better:
Image
stitch weld that front end:
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

time to fit those 15X10's under there:
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

new hood:
Image
paint those vents:

Image
add rear wing:

Image

project #1 instead of thr rubber bushings you get with shocks, I used the set of polyurethane bushings that were for my front sway bar for more stiffness ( i installed a whiteline sway on the front instead of using the stock sway bar) I was suprised - no noise or squeaking...
Image

project #2 I had to tap the intake to run my new oil catch can
Image
Image

remove sound deadning - the dry ice trick is the cat's meow...
Image
Image

time to cage it:
Image
Image
Image
Image
and paint
Image
Image
Image

yeah...
Image
shifter
Image
hood pins
Image

project #3 time to fabricate my own seat bracket for my sparco - took about 20 frustrating hrs and 80 dollars in flat metal from home depot (half of which i threw away or ruined) but I came out with this design where its the lowest i can lower a seat, and slightly over to the right of the rollbar to fit my seat with no rubbing issues, and it uses 6 of the stock bolt positions!!! the 4 stock bolts and the 2 seat belt locations! This sucker ain't moving!
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

time to lengthen those wheel studs for the 15X10
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

project #4 I robbed a deadpedal from a 87 nissan 200sx cut and mounted it top the footplate so now my foot has a place to rest on long trips...
Image
Image

added a tach this weekend so i can finally see ,y rpm's...
Image
Image

decided to hide the shift light
Image
Image
Image

new header made up by steve g with 1 1/2" primaries and a 2 1/2" collector mock up:
Image
make sure it clears the intercooler piping
Image

take it easy guys.

that's quite a hefty list of modifications friend. it is rather lengthy even for those of us who like such things short and sweet.

welcome to the boards. if anything, you may just want to cut and paste this in the garage section.

appreciate you taking the time to join us and share though. good stuff.
