Well, since I'm sitting on the car until spring comes around and I've got nothing to do, I figure I might as well start a thread about my car. Here's some shots of how the car sat when I got it. It had been in two accidents prior to when I got it, but you couldn't tell from looking at it for the most part.
It was very stock when I picked it up. One thing that I needed to do first was get new wheels. I picked up a set of OEM 1998 Cobra wheels from a buddy of mine and replaced my stock 16s.
The wheels made a big difference, but it still sat way too high. I bought some SR performance lowering springs and cc plates from AM during their cyber monday sale and waited on those. Once they came, they sat in my room for about a year before I actually got around to putting them on because I was waiting to get some new shocks and struts. I actually ended up getting Koni Str.t shocks and struts for free at the American Muscle show, so I was all set to go a little lower.
Look how high she sat :embarrassed:
The way she sat was much better after the springs were in. I kept all the isos in so it didn't sit as low as it could, but I might take them out sometime. The ride is a lot more firm as well.
The next couple of things I did were just small appearance things. I ordered new headlights because a reflector had broken off inside of mine and I didn't want it to bounce around and break something. I ordered some one piece black headlights from LMR. I liked how they turned out, but I still need to buy some clips to adjust them.
I installed my mach 1 style chin spoiler a week or so later.
And now I'm stocking up on some parts during winter to put on in spring.
