That's too funny. When I bought my FD new in 1994 I made the salesperson shove his clubs in the back like you did as I told him this was a deal breaker if it did not work. He didn't think I was serious but I was

 

Fix-A-Flat. $26 bucks at Home Depot. Throw a can of this in the car and you are good to go. Sure, the tire guys hate it but that's their job

 

that's amazing, I recommend a cover for those subs as they're candy for thieves.

 

a) awesome build, u have ungodly amounts of patience...

b) I sympathize with u about the weather... I used to live in Ft. Mcmurray.. so I know exactly how you feel!

 

Thanks. A few people have told me I should do one of the car shows but I'm not really into it. I mean I'll go to them but to stay there all day to show off my car is not really my thing. On the weekends if I'm not working I'm usually golfing. Probably after I do the body I'll do one. Just to say I did it.

 

If I ever get a flat I have the spare set aside in my garage so that my wife can bring it down to me if need be. That "Fix-A-Flat" stuff is great but damn do they ever hate it when you take it to the tire shop. I have a can of it in my garage somewhere. I'll throw it in the cubby beside the jack just in case.

The subs are pretty hidden behind the seats and the rear window is limo tinted. I may also tint the side windows. Just have to save up some cash to pay for the fines . I'm really not a fan of speaker grills. The only thing I put back there are my clubs and they fit nicely in between the two subs.

So my plans now are just little things. She's running great and it's summer (golf season). Besides it's nice to space out the big projects. It feels like a new (different) car after completing it.

Project list:

Interior:
-Redo seatbelt holders.
-Remove turbo timer.
-Side window tint. Maybe.
-Possibly move my gauges to a FlyRX7 pod. If I can find one.
-Cluster gauge mod. I bought a spare cluster gauge to change it to white. Better to **** up a spare. I was also thinking of changing all the instrument lights to red. Not liking the amber too much. Seems out dated to me. I was also thinking about getting the new PFC cammander. Why did they have to make it yellow? That's one more color in the mix. Has any got one of these yet? Is it worth the $300?

Exterior:
-Fix exhaust tip.
-Install Apexi ATS Silencer.
-Repaint door handles.
-Touch up the rims.
-Test fit all new body parts.
-Prep all new body parts for paint.
-I probably won't get it painted until next year.

Engine:
-Build air intake duct. Something like Damian's.
-Extend IC duct.
-Clean and install Fluidyne rad.
-Install manual boost controllers.
-Install AIT sensor.
-Change all the gaskets I bought. The main one is the lower LIM. It's still the paper one. I'll have to take out the turbos to get at it so I have all the gaskets for that as well. I was thinking I should port the waste gate while its out. Any disadvantages in doing this? Can I do this on my own?
-Redo the wiring harness. I bought an extra wiring harness. I was thinking of doing the simplified seq. vacuum hose setup. To clean up under the UIM and have less things to fail. Are there any other disadvantages to this besides the emisions stuff? Will it run the same? I think I'll remove all the unused wiring and then re-wrap the the harness. Should be a lot less bulky.
-I plan on doing this in one shot. The engine bay should be pretty gutted so i am planning on painting it flat black. That way I can paint the body any color and it should be easier to do touch ups.

Like I said I'll probably leave the engine and body until the end of the season. I'll update as I go along. I am looking for a couple of things. Not really anything I need but I anybody has them laying around.

Wish list:
-RHD aluminum dead pedal.
-RHD FlyRX7 gauge pod.
-Aluminum scuff plates.
-Defi 52mm boost(psi.) and oil press. gauge (link series [green])

 

Mind blowing good job buddy I can see my reflection from here ; )
