Default Usoff89's build thread

Everytime I do something to the car, I've been making a seperate thread for it. lol. I figured it would be better for me to just start a thread. I've had my car for about a year now, and so far it's my favorite out of all the cars I've owned. I'll be adding to this thread and posting pictures as I move on with it.

Mods to the car so far:
Megan EZ coilovers
custom exhaust
powder-coated brakes (if you even want to count that)
electric fans
custom sub box in the rear deck (needs to finished)
18inch wheels
eagle eye headlights and clear markers

Mods to come:
5spd swap
supercharger or turbo (not sure yet)
Custom fab mounts for a LSD out of a supra

That's it for now. Enjoy the pictures of my progress so far. Some of these are not in order.

Some of these are not big mods, but just progress. And there is still stuff that needs to be finished up. It all comes down to money and time....

That exhaust is dope. One of the things I miss about having a V8.

Thanks. Yeah, I love the sound. Some people think its too loud or too raspy, but I think it sounds good. There are a couple videos in my other thread "New shoes"

Figured I'd update my thread. Finally done installing my big brakes from the 95 LS. I powder coated them a candy orange too. I still need to finish the wheels, so dont pay any attention to that.

Good call on the orange. It's rare to see people go that route given how much red/blue/yellow/silver thee is out there. Nothing classier than orange on a dark coloured car!

Couple updates. Got my Stainless brakes lines on. And also got my shift kit in the mail today. Might try and put it in this weekend. I was originally going 5spd, but I'm going to see how I like a higher stall and shift kit first.
