This is the first official time that I have posted pics of my car on the org. Its going through some pretty drastic changes and upgrades so i figured i would start a progress thread to keep track of everything and show you all what i have done and am going to do.
Here you i hope you enjoy the pics. As always C&C is welcomed.
The head build:
The head ready and prepped to be ported and polished then have the machine work done to it
John Benham headlights:
lastly my room mate showing off what is probably one of the best modifications i have done to my car
16" slim fan, for better cooling and to make more room. The factory one was a huge pain to get out of there, I ended up tipping the radiator as far as i could get it and breaking one of the tabs on the factory shroud to get it out.
OBX silicone hoses
suspension
just waiting on power slot rotors to come in on Wednesday and this will go on
and as she sits right now! sorry for the poopy pics but it is really cloudy out and has been raining all day and on top of that the screen on my girlfriends camera is broken so you cant see what your taking pictures of.
In the future plans are:
Get new front and rear bumper, possibly swap to the 00 or so sunfires.
Eibach swaybar set from GP
STD full coilover suspension from john benham
New interior carpet
a built trans
BOOST!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
here is a pic, i got all of my stuff from JAZER so i basically have her entire kit except for the waste gate.

yeah man, seems like every time there is a meet i have something come up and i cant make it. Car is definitely showing its age though. I think im getting some rust on the driver door right smack in the middle and the bumpers are shot. Other than that it looks alright. Just time for a new exterior. College is expensive though, but i make do with what i have.

well funds are a little low at the moment and i want to do it right the first time, so it looks like not till next school year. So like september or so. I still have a ton of other parts to get so hopefully ill do some more gathering over the summer when i'm making the big bucks.
update:
i've been working on the install of the brakes and the fronts are on. I did need to fab up both new brake lines for either side because the 11 yr old ones just didnt want to budge and ended up getting all mangled up and ruined. I bent all the lines outside and when i put them in, they look like they were factory, i'm pretty proud of that considering its my first time bending hard lines in a long time. In the back i broke two bolts on just the left side and didn't even touch the right. I have to work tomorrow so i will hopefully continue this on friday. This rear disc swap is being a huge pain! here's the pics:
my fabbed up lines
right side
left side setup
and one on with the wheel sorry its so dirty but we've had rain for a week!
update:
I got my coolant tank in the mail and i couldn't wait so i immediately went to the parts store and got some fittings and looked for a cap. Here is the pics:
this should be going on tomorrow along with the obx silicone hoses. Also pics of the neon swap will be up tomorrow.
