Well, I just got some blakc racing seats for 240$ (for both) through Checker, I got them in the car now, and was even able to hook the driver's power seat option on the new seats. A lot easier than I thought to fab.
And I upgraded my exhaust again, I took off my pre-cats and replaced my after-cats with Magnaflow High-flow cats, added some 3.5" chrome rolled exhaust tips, and converted the exhaust to 2.5" from the header back. This will come in very handy once I get my power adder.
I also took a crack at painting my engine bay. I painted some pracket, cold air intake, radiator cover, and some other stuff in the engine red and looks pretty sweet. This won't be finished for a while since I'm waiting for the supercharger to paint it and my intake red. I think it will look sweet once it's all red and black engine bay, no more ugly aluminum. 
I might be changing up my plans for the car a little bit. I might scrap the supercharger idea all together if I can find a cheap turbo. It will cost me about 2400$ for the turbo setup, while the supercharger set-up will cost me around 1700$ It's just a matter of figuring out if I want to be cheap and get the supercharger kit, or go for the more reliable of the two choices. My goal is to get my car at 350rwhp, with a power-adder, 1.8 roller rockers, and a custom ground camshaft. I can probably get that without sacrificing reliablity with the supercharger, and definetly with the turbocharger.
Other than that, I'm going to finish the interior painting over Xmas, since I don't have a garage to work in at my college apartment.
Then Cobra R Front Bumper and Hood, paint matching side mirrors, and 03' Cobra Rear Bumper with lettering shaved off.
Then the suspension will be springs, shocks/struts, c/c plates, subframe connectors, and strut tower brace.
Ohh ya, I might get some longtube headers if I can confirm if they will fit on the vert, auto.
I will get pics up of the new mods as soon as I can get over to my buddy's house, since he has the digicam.
Also, I went to the Dragstrip a couple weeks ago after my gear, t-lock, and tuner install. I ran a 16.4 in 90 degree weather, dust storm, and crappy track surface. The good thing is that is a full HALF SECOND better than my car's last best run. |
