Here is a pic of when i first got it home about a year ago.
here is the most up to date picture I have
Not a lot has changed looks wise yet
In hind site I probably paid to much for it. A little over $4000 out the door with over 100,xxx on the clock. It was my first time buying a car from a dealer so I guess you live and learn. It was the car I wanted to I guess it was worth it.
What I've done so far:
-Took it to get aligned the week after I bought it. Found out the tie rod ends were going bad too, so had a nice little bill there.
-Had some transmission repairs done, Wasn't very car savvy at the time so I don't really know what was repaired even. Just know it grinded every time going into second and the bill was about $800.
-A month latter had to Replace the Clutch. Just had the dealer throw a stock one in since I didn't have time to mess around with it.
-Speedometer stopped working so had the dealer replace the speed sensor.
All the money I was planing on using for mods ended up going to just keeping it running and on the road, so things have been moving slowly.
-Removed side moldings and de badged it: diver side came out good, passenger side looked like someone else had tried to remove it already and taped it back on when the paint started pulling off. so it was rusted and has only gotten worse since then.
-Replaced cloudy headlights with some raccoons i found on Craig's
list for $50
-lenses fell out of my fog lights so I just removed the fog lights all together
-replaced all four struts last fall. I just went with stock replacement, I'm regretting that decision now. Really want to get my hands on some BC Coil overs.
-My big recent project was replacing all the suspension bushings with the prothane kit from modern. While I was down there I also replaced the ball joints and and tie-rod ends. that was a weekend project that turned into a month long project.
I have a list of plans and projects for the summer I'll get them up here some time and Ill try to find some more pictures to post up as well.
All in all I look at this car as a learning experience. When I got it I barely knew how change oil. Come along way since then with the help of this site and family and friends. As much as possible I plan on doing all the work myself. Take my time and learn as I go.
Thanks for reading
And it looks great! I love the 01 R/Ts. Instead of coilovers get your hands on some inexpensive lowering springs for a couple hundred bucks. Then when you have the money for the coilovers, sell the spring/strut combo on here. After that paint the silverstones to dress them up a bit more. They're probably the most attractive neon wheel made.
