sigh, please update us man. Whats going on with her?
A lot has been done.. I completely went through the interior and disassembled it. The a/c unit, fan unit, all the ducks, the heater core, everything is gone. This also includes all the a/c hard lines, the a/c condensor, the a/c compressor. With this also comes a small wrap around coolant hose to bypass where it once ran through the firewall. All the holes in the wirewall where blocked off with metal pieces I custom fit and painted to match the engine pay.
The dash is virtually a hollow representation of itself. The guages have been redone as well.. the pod on the a-pillar got annoying and I actually didn't like how much it obstructed my view. Those autometer guages have now be worked into the console where the climate controls and the left side drivers vent was. Pictures of that at a later date...
The car has also received a PLX Devices M300 wideband setup in replace of my narrowband autometer blippy light ricey gauge crap item.
The front mount intercooler pipping and the 3" inlet pipe from the AFM where all powdercoated black to match the engine bay.
I have gone back to removing the rear trunk pieces and remounted the battery tray on the bottom of the floor in the center. There is also no head liner in the car.. mine was really nasty and dirty. Once I removed it, I actually didn't mind the way it looked and have reorganized the wiring so that it is just more straight black painted metal (keeping with the exterior orange/black and the engine bay black).
The wheels have also received a 5mm spacer in the front and 25mm adapters in the rear.
The car has always been a bit to much show even for me.. and this is talking to someone with an orange car with a body kit, thats saying a lot. To help aid in not only the interior changes but the exterior, the wing has been removed and the car will remain wingless. I will eventually have the holes filled and the trunk deck resprayed.
The door jam plastic material has also been replaced and the wiring under it reloomed. There are no more momo pedals and short of removing the stereo.. there are no creature comforts left.
At this point.. thats where the car stands. I actually got the last parts I needed today and have cranked the engine twice by blipping the starter.. yet I haven't turned it over and fired it. I have a few more electrical things to do with the guages, but all I have left is to just tighten down the intercooler pipping clamps.
thats the update for ya...
