What I've been up to - First mods since joining 2gn.

Ok so first off. I must apologize for the camera phone pics. Let's pretend you're an 8yro girl, and you've been having fun with your big sisters boyfriends camera, while they don't know about it. You've had so much fun you drained the rechargeables. "Oh crap" you think "the lens won't go back in now. I'd better push it back in with my thumbs so they don't know I was playing with it." Yeah.... :banghead:

Well, I was having some problems with oil in my spark plug tube, and my wires were kind of old. So I replaced them with a mancini silver VC, Screaming demon coil pack, and MSD wires (from blazeSXT); an easy install and it improved the looks under the hood.

Next up is the sts. I ordered an 80% maddog with 1in drop. WOW its amazing. I also used some boogers and johnnymopar's cradle bushings.

What's the nice thunderous sound coming from that neon? Oh yeah its a borla catback! got it from Hansken Yo. Thought the install would go smooth, except my stock exhaust clamps had pretty much rrust welded on, so I had to get a muffler shop to cut em off.

Next I had the brillant idea of removing my door molding guard things. Well it looks sweet from afar, but up close, its a little discolored.

Finally, we have the dodge seat belt covers. These were cheap on eBay, and look a lot better than what justice the picture gives em.

You might not want to use a breather cap on the back of your valve cover, I had weird oil spikes when I did that.

And that shifter looks nice, cant wait till i order one of those.

Thanks guys. Yeah, the exhaust sounds great. I find that in traffic when I'm around some one with a little fart can, they get rev-happy and try to show off. Lol it just makes the borla sound even better after hearing that.

Thanks for the tip on the oil spikes, I'll keep an eye out.
