I only got interior mods.

check my sig.

Ooh and I believe I got another mod from my previous owner. It's a little temp gauge on the dash right of the ignition-key.

It read the temp insde the car. Very handy if I may say so.

Mine is bone stock for now, but I have a plan to add the Racing Beat Header, Presiclencer, and muffler, upgrade the intake and feul system. This is not going to hapen all at once, but the Exhaust is going to be changed this fall.

The Sterio is a substantial up grade.

Kenwood Excelon: Head, modular speakers in the rear, stadard speakers in the front, and two 10" subs, powered by a 450w Amp. I am going to add a four channel to run the speakers, and balance the power abit better.

There is also an Alpine Alarm with keyless entry and remote hatch release. This goes in tomarow

I guess some people would call thoes modifications

And the nice thing is with the exception of the alarm the car can go back to stock in the blink of an eye. I wired the sterio in such a way that if I wanted to I could reinstall the casette deck so I can show the car in stock trim if I so desiered or was ever asked to.

what the hell is a cheese port?? if seen im mentioned a few times now..

and for my mods..
engine : 2 1/2 inch headers, few carby tricks, port mached intake a few other little things but basicly what the minimun rotary has these days. so well call it stock
suspension: just lowered 1 inch all round with kings springs, i will do more later on if i i end up getting a certain engine i want but only if the guy can make up his mind if he wants it or not (but that another story)
inside: holden camera seats (they were free and i need seats at the time)
and just like Aico i have a little digital thermomiter..

From: Kicking down doors in a neighborhood near you
My 84GS was used in a crash test experiment. Twice. I found out that one can strike a deer at 50mph and do an impressively small amount of damage to the car at the expense of the deers life. Damage to header panel, hood and headlight. Subsequently, I discovered that striking a deer at 75mph while decelerating from 115mph will yeild the same results as the first test, as long as you strike each deer while the are proceeding from the passenger side of the road to the driver side of the road and you contact the deer on the rear left hind quarter.
My 86 GXL is stock, including the slug-o-matic transmission, but everything works! Cruise, windows, all the power stuff works, so HA!!
