so i just made an appointment for the exhaust shop on tuesday. gonna fit the headers up monday night or tuesday, uber excited to get this project moving again

just got the headers installed......HOLY LOUD BATMAN..... drove it a few km's to the exhaust shop to have my catless intermediate pipe installed. :):):)

got the car back this afternoon, damn does it ever sound nice......ss autochromes 2.25 header back to a no name dual tip cat deleted. definetly pulls way harder above 3k.

So spent the day installing the remote start and keyless entry....never had it and holy s--- is it ever nice.

Hard wired my wideband, coolant temp, and volt meter installed, frozen solid am I.

Pics to follow tomorrow.

note to self.....dont wait so long to go winter mode next year.

not much to update other then the fact that snow can go f--- itself.

I like your notes.

so good news on the insurance front, switched company's and saved a shitload so I know have an extra few dollars every month to toss back into the car budget.

Bad news is my alternator is finally started to fail consistently, so I'm looking to have it rebuilt early January probably have it bumped up to 100/110a.
On Wednesday its brake upgrade day, Ceramic pads front & rear as well as slotted rotors also. I'll upgrade to ss lines in the spring. Prd cap and ngk wires should be in one day this week so I'll possibly be upgrading to hei/external coil hopefully this upcoming weekend.

I'm still fine tuning my exhaust note as I'm not very happy with it, it's so nice having a bit of power again Tho.

Ordered my wedge seat brackets yesterday, in stock coming out of Colorado apparently so shipping is 2 weeks.
$ 90/each plus $45 shipping to my house.

Got a great deal on some off brand seats, feel great and I think they look pretty hot too.



Car is finally starting to come to life a bit, nice to feel it move again, headed back to the exhaust shop to throw on a resonator and that should be the end of my exhaust bs for now anyways.

Nice work, great to see that there's constant progress here!!
(I've been reading every update for a while now haha)
Without wanting to sound like a true photo whore... more pics would be awesome! haha

dont even get me started on my lack of photos, i used to be a photo whore now i just focus on building i dopnt waste time taking pics.

pic update as soon as i get the car on a hoist!!!!

Fair enough... I tend to not think of taking pics of things while i'm doing it, but after's easy for me haha

pictarz update!

























no major updates lmao. it feels good to finally share with the masses the pos that i have yet to actually name, why oh why do i lub this car?

hopefully by the end of this week my custom seat brackets and seats arrive this week!
its so fun to upgrade more then once piece a month now!

should note that i now also have a failing driver side cv axle, doesnt like being lowered i guess. changed out the p/s axle months ago now the d/s is gonzo so thats my next new piece.

yayyy picturrzzzz
what was that plate with MX-3 written on it that was ontop of the battery? Sorry to hear about your CV issues - they can get pretty pricey, hey?! Although I guess you don't have to pay for someone to do it for you, I'm guessing (which I did on my first car!)
Gauges & wheel looking good, don't think I've seen them before...
Looking forward to seeing the seats in, too - should look sweet as
