Well, I tried to lite them up a little, but Amanda said you couldn't even see it in the pics. I'll either do a good one tomorow or sucker Ifixyawata to record one so you can see and hear her. I know I let all the pic ws down but have faith.

Ok, new pics tomorow after school. I go to work at 5 so I have 2 hours to light them up and get some good pics. I gutted ALL the ac stuff out of the car. removed most of the smog shiznit, routed most of the wiring, put some exhaust on it ( a Y pipe with turndown) and cleaned up the engine enough to show it.  Before I even take the pics I know the car needs a bath. Thats on saturday. Any requests for pics need to hit here my 6am tomorow morning as thats when I'm taking the pics.

Motor went from this when I got the car:

To this after a new harness from Cougar8775 and all the vac. lines and smog removed by me.


And finally the Y pipe. It's not all preformance but it's more of an exhuast then I had.

Like this :grinno:



I haven't done a burnout in over 2 years. Last time I did one I covered the car in smoke..............which a Chicago Cop didn't seem to like much:dunce: . Besides with a 3.73 T-lok I can leave 5 feet of rubber anyways by just mashing the gas (I also have 6.75" wide tires which helps:grinno: ).

She gets a bath when it's not cold out
Today I went out and got her half a tune up. I'm doing this on my tips from work so thats why I only have half of it for now. Anyways I got her 8 Champion Copper Plus spark plugs, a new fuel filter, some GTX oil and a toggle switch for my fuel pump ( had to run a constant hot off my ignition to get it to stay on). Keep you guys posted.

I know. I just need a new relay. I did it so I could make sure the car runs. Thats next on my list. It isn't driven enough to make it a problem

I found out something , well, different when I changed my plug. The part that goes into the wire's boot was rusted on every plug. Not a heave rust but still rust. Plugs were almost shot too. I'd put pics up but the GF has my camara. Tuneup over all went great and now the cars runs better and idles smoother. Now this weekend when I put tags on it I'll tell you if it drives better.
