Ahaha, what am I gonna do with that??? :confused:

But thanks everybody. I know shes not a show winner ~ hell its stock, come on... but I think waiting to get one resulted in getting an excellent base to start mods on top of. I love the clean interior... muahahaha :devil:

aww brings back memories of when mine looked like that. EXACTELY like that. HUGE tire-fender gap. orange corners. sohc. and to top it off, no left mirror!!!
hey sparq u prolly have everything planned out already but some small things on our cars, especially being white, really make a big difference. first I got clear corners, helps. then tint, really looks good on the white, I think. then lowering. i just think those three things really make a diff. on white hatches.
just my $.02

so what will be your first mod? i think it should be springs or coilovers man, cuz that thing has like a 6 finger gap lol!!!:devil: btw nice car!!!

sparq
01-06-2002, 11:05 AM
Sorry to disapoint everyone but its not getting dropped till I get rims...

The car is already tinted, but its gay cheap ass tint in the back 3 windows. And since its winter time, not that big of a deal... the crappy tint can stay on for now. Its not like im going to shows with it right now anyways.

LIST OF MODS:
1. Clean engine bay (haha, yes I consider this a mod!)
2. Paint valve cover + wire loom the engine bay
3. Add interior bits (steering wheel, shift knob, shift boot, ebrake handle, etc. etc.)

Then it should be spring time...
4. Body kit
5. Paint
6. Rims & lower
7. Swap

...with of course all the various things that will come along with a modded car. Corner lights, rear tail lights, and of course a few goodies that im not gonna tell you about :) But I need to get MOST of the stuff done before the end of July, because then im going to be moving down to Florida and have responsibility and shit and probably wont have money to mod it anymore :devil:

j.fuggi
01-06-2002, 02:26 PM
in my opinion, lowering comes first and foremost.

rims look ghey when there is a huge gap.

my opinion:
lower
rims
body kit
paint
swap etc etc

DUDE....Post up the pic of both the cars. I wanted to see how that one came out. But please put a disclaimer "The front steelies are only temp. Until I get my front camber kit"

And I'll be by in about half an hour to go medival on the valv cover.

As for what we did to clean to engine bay, get three plastic bags. Cover the battery and fuse box, the distributor and all new fangled electronics surrouding the fuel rail and injectors. Also remove the map sensor from the TB and cover it as well. Then get a soft bristle brush and a toothbrush and a sponge with a bucket of water, get about 2 or 3 bottles of Simple Green and work on that biatch for about 2 or 3 hours and it'll be good as new :)

We should have moved your car up just a hair, so your front tire matched the spot to my rear... that would make it look better, but still... nice :) Hmm, you know I should have camber kits soon! :)

Nono...I'm the only one doing chrome. And the only reason I like it is because of the stark contrast from the Harvard Blue. I'd white wheels but I don't have money, yet.

Sparqy...post it!!!

Big bottle of simple green... some brushes (including a tooth brush) and lots and lots of time. It seriously took a good 3 hours probably to do that, and shit im not even done. I could easily spend another week just cleaning it out, but since its not a show vehicle its not that important... but she will be well cleaned once the swap comes into play :) :devil:
