RJayLos 95 GT

Thought Id start my own build up thread..not that Im going to be doing anything dramatic lol
Purchased the car back in March 08 and found it on craigslist. Drove fine and had about 150,000 miles on it. This is what it looked like:

Drivers side had some pretty nasty primered spots so it gave me an opportunity to give it a paint job. Its got a goldish flake to the black but hard to tell in the pics.

Next item on the list was to ditch the factory rimage and swap on some FR500s. 18x9 in front and 18x10 in the rear. Wrapped in 275 rubber:

Changed the headlights to the smoked style and added a Flowmaster Super 40 catback

Have an Eibach Prokit and Pypes X pipe sitting at the house now waiting for install. Just need to get some free time :banana:

any updates? looks good so far

RJayLo · May 30, 2008

Thanks!

Yeah, I did get my Pypes off road X pipe installed (forgot to take pics :hammer

and really opened up some soundage!
Buddy I work with had a pair of foglights and a K&N filter so I picked those up for $50 total and slapped them in. Ill go for an actual intake one of these days, but Im good for now.
Eibach pro-kit is going of tommorrow and am going to pick up gears for my next mod. Few cosmetic items after that and then Ill look at the motor.

Heres a few pics I took today with the pro-kit.

I have gears I still need to put in but that recently took a back seat due to a bad throwout bearing. I opted for the king cobra clutch as a replacement which is currently installed.

Looks much better with the Pro-Kits! You should think about tinting your tails!!

aww, that would mean I have to wash and wax it!! lol

Its been raining every single day here for the last couple weeks so a good wash job is only as good as the next $5 cheerleading fund raising event. :thumb: :hammer:

Ill get something up after I give it a wax job.
Thanks Hellion94! I guess I missed you, but yeah on Coors, that sounds about right.

I have zero complaints. I havent tried powershifting or anything like that, but it feels pretty good. The engagement point is a little lower than stock, but Im sure that can just be adjusted with the clutch cable. Doesnt feel much stiffer than the stock one and for the price, I am pretty happy I chose the king cobra clutch.
