Tomorrow (today since it's 2:20 AM), plan on doing the following.. Realign my tailpipes, rewire a new switch for the 2 step, find a foglight bulb to toss in, ummmmm, new iac. Hopefully cures my stalling issue which I'm sure it will.

Really hate the way my exhaust tips look. I have another set of LX style tails, might weld those on and call it a day.

I really like the look of the fox tips on a 94-98. They angle upward and seem to follow the line of the bumper better.

Had the trans out around two weeks ago, made some adjustments. All is well. Went wingless and love it, even with these ugly wheels. Can't wait to have the xxr's back on. I'd post a pic but photobuckets being annoying..

Polished the Steedas up quite a bit. Still hate these wheels, but they cleaned up decently despite the pitting and years of neglect and abuse they endured. Got them for 100 bucks with decent Nitto NT555s, tossed my snow tires on and called it a day. Anywho, these were disgusting, not too shabby for a cone on a drill and some turtle wax polish. Washed the slut afterwards, no pics cause it got super dark.

Side note, I won't be doing any sort of work on the car anytime soon. Due to the accident I was in, my right shoulder has multiple tears including my rotator cuff, so surgery is needed unfortunately. I always wash cars with my right arm, rocking the left arm now and it feels SO weird haha. Didn't really have anything planned besides a bumper to bumper, top to bottom detail.

That sucks about your shoulder man, my dad just had surgery on his...best advice I can say is make sure you go to the rehabilitation exercises, he has recovered pretty fast because of the physical therapy.

Back to the car, those wheels look great on there regardless of the condition! They shine up pretty well for having some pits in the chrome

Nasty ****ing fuel leak. Pretty sure it's by the fuel filter. Trying to get it to my buddies job to use a lift one of these days. Fingers crossed its just the filter, if it's the whole line I'm gonna be pissed. Hoping it doesn't snow either, threw on a set of drag radials, why? Cause my d/s rear Steeda is cracked inside and keeps leaving me with a flat tire. Obviously not driving the car if it snows with DR's on. FR500s look good though, I'm surprised. 315 Nitto NT05 R's. And my exhaust is sitting on my damn axle, gotta fix that too.




When you're so low a low profile jack won't fit under any part of the car, not even the rear. Ignorant. Good thing I had some wood lying around. Later on I got some 2x6s and made little ramps to drive up on or roll back on for extra ground clearance to jack it up.

I despise the steedas haha. I got them for 100 bucks with staggered NT555s in decent shape. Sold the tires so I made money on em, just swapped my snow tires on em.
