In the spirit of spring renewal I've ordered,
Aluminum t-stat housing kit
Embossed premium wheel badges in green/silver
Red Line 57904 (75W90) Synthetic Gear Oil 2-quarts
Sensen front & rear shocks
She'll be looking fierce w/ new paint & feeling awesome with some new components !

As some of you know from the other thread I had exhaust work done to my baby. Removed the front 3 mufflers and had an x-pipe fabricated and installed. Not only was the sound music to my ears, but I got 2 additional benefits. First I noticed more acceleration and quicker throttle response. Tonight I drove the 2 hours through the mountains on curved roads and stopped to top off the tank. I got 25.4 mpg. Huge increase!! Not to mention the more I drive this the car the deeper in love with it I am.

Thanks for the clarification m8. Much appreciated. On the plus side, I guess they still appear to be in great condition at almost 200k!

Eric, I wish mine did the same! And looked the same!
Pile of scrap metal... At least my engine "works" to a degree Always that to somehow look forward to
What do you think, respray in a matte version of BRG with some high gloss sections?

Restored and redyed the leather on the front seats. As you can see the drivers side is worse then the passenger. Attached before and after pics for your viewing pleasure.

Well my paint fiasco has come to a head. The guilty party & I handled our differences in a spirited combat sambo session last night. One of the perks being a major partner in a dojo, you have 24/7 access to it's amenities.
Sambo for the uninitiated.

Sins forgiven,crimes against nature pardoned, life goes on.

You have used a fabricated x-pipe as opposed to one off the shelf....is it designed the same way?
How is the exhaust tome?
Do you get any resonance in the cabin at certain speeds?

Loud, with oversized exhaust tips, inside all dark (incl. headliner), I want the wood gone, I don't want the chrome
I was even thinking about a 'rocket bunny' swide body style

So it get's what it needs... It just has to wait at the moment a little bit.
