dtjackten progress log..... soon to come twincharged
let the parts start rolling in for winter.
as some of you know i tend to get together some parts to start messing with the car and get all the mods done before winter... well it has started.
-also, just ordered my first of prolly two orders with asp...
asp stainless manifold is on its way! i got all the gaskets and what not i need to do the install when i decide to do it.
the second order i would like to do ALL stainless steal braided vacuum lines. (yes over kill i know. but bling?? yes! should make this car bullet proof for years and years to come.
-also on the list i am going to back to stock housing headlights. the retrofits just did not turn out as good as the rest of the car looks. so i am going with a black housing headlight with stock bulbs. (got wrong parts i orderd from ebay- LSP may remember the many conversations i had with her on that situation, someday may just have her or someone do a set for me)
on the maybe list..
bc coilovers
dcr lateral bars
this is a BIG maybe, wheel spacers

your right dave, that cluster is gonna look badass with your current gauges. Now, are you still gonna be rocking 03+ eyes or, are you going over to 02 coons? either way, keep up the great work

no no no... the current bumper is staying (beatup or not) so the 03+ lights are what is going into it.
link to ebay to show the lights i want. (i want more black than just the coons)

hell ya Dave that cluster looks great!!! You better get interested in that neon again soon. Probably not gonna happen this summer but, next summer I imagine Ill be about ready for my turbo build. If you have no interest in your car Ill just show up to your doorstep with boxes of parts and my car and make you do my install. We will see if you get any ideas for your car in the process. lol
The car looks, sounds, and performs great. There is a whole bunch of stuff you could do still. There is always the options of exterior color and accents, LSD for all that power, Electronic additions, etc...etc...etc..
Hope that helps with some motivation buddy

well.. new battery has been bought and installed. powersteering is installed, also due to a few "complaints" about my tail lights i was going to just lighten the nite shade well i did that and it looked great well the clear i put on it messed up and bad. so i got a few new lenses and now they are red with the led light boards... the red is not perminant just a temp fix more than likely.
i just have to run the boost control hot wire and that will beable to be crossed off the list as well..
i did however find out that when i installed the new asp manifold i used a gasket that is a non rt gasket. it leaks. so i am going to put a rt gasket on it and the car will be ready to go. hoping by the end of the week the car will be ready for the streets.

ok. so i have found the wire short. the roll bar in the rear was rubbing on the wire for the dome light. fixed that. and modded the roll cage to solve any future problems. . also i had my turbo hitting the firewall causing vibrations. that issues is also fixed ...
and now i have started working on something to help me in rainy situations. i will post pics of a air filter cover i am making so if i get cought in a rain storm i will not be introuble with the grip hood. ..
after that is done i will be ready to drive the car and enjoy it.
