those turned out awesome . The 94/95 lights don’t age as well as the 96-98’s so when they’re freshly restored damn do they look nice .

Agreed and I’ve been looking for a clean set for ten years now. I bought a pair off fb years ago for like $25 and they were mint…opened the box and the corner had busted off the passenger side of course. So I wound up donating them to a friend and went back on the hunt til this car landed at the wrecking yard.

I decided a few weeks back that I've finally done enough with my red truck and it was time to get back to the car.

I started off by buying oil pressure and 1 bar MAP sensors from Low Doller Motorsports. After getting them installed I got in contact with Danny at MFKustoms to see about getting them set up which led to him needing to update everything for me first. During that process we realized that my voltage had dropped pretty low and I wouldn't be able to fire the car up until it was charged. The next day, threw a hot battery in and fired it right up. So I moved it to the other bay in my shop and let it idle for a few seconds until it randomly died then would not crank back up. The fuel pump had lost power. Long story short I sent my wiring harness adapter back in to Danny for testing and sure enough a fuel pump driver had went bad. During the time I had the wiring disconnected I took the opportunity to put the car on the lift and address a few issues I had been putting off so fixed some small leaks mostly coolant, and got my exhaust fitted up nicely. Also had some shifting issues, wound up pulling the trans out to inspect everything and found a broken bolt holding the pressure plate to the flywheel. So now, I have finally fixed all the little issues I've seen so far and have been driving it any chance I get.

On Thursday night I went to town to get some food and fill up with gas. Saturday I made some short trips and went back to town for gas before heading home and had been 90 miles and consumed 5 gallons of gas which was a nice surprise to see that kind of mileage. So far I probably have 150+ miles on it and so everything is going good. I have a couple of pictures I can add in here but mostly haven't taken any when I'm out driving. Just living in the moment and enjoying the car lol.

When your car sits up so long it blows chicken bones out of the mufflers the next time you fire it up





SVE radiator was leaking, got that warrantied and replaced.

Started on getting both of the mufflers even with each other. I think they came out pretty close. The car is low as shit but so far I’ve only made contact in one place on a transition in a parking lot. I have just under 2.5” clearance at the lowest spot on the primaries and just above 2.”5 all along the x pipe and mufflers. I have most of the roads around here memorized pretty well but still been playing it safe.













I did raise my coilovers up 3.5 turns on each side too. I wouldn’t mind bringing the front up a hair more but the back is kinda stuck where it is unless I throw some isolaters back in.

I’m in the same boat I wanna lift the nose of my car up a bit as well . I’m a sucker for a black sn95 . Waiting to hear what she sounds like when the exhaust is done

I love the rake on the yellow car in your pic myself.

I ended up raising musturd up a bunch but it did look cool with the rake on the 28x12.50’s out back

yea I would be afraid to drive it like that myself, but it looked cool for sure.
