Building this car is a continuation of my silver OVH and not mentioning is would be bad (K)Carma (pun intended)
About a year and a half ago I sold my OHV and decided to carry on with a new car. I bought my car off another j-body enthusiast! He still continues to be a great friend and help, thanks PhillyD!
The day I brought it home
It was kept in great condition and already had a few tasteful mods!
B&M short throw
poly trans mounts
lowered on intrax springs and konis
convertible strut tower brace
toyo tails, and markers
03 rear bumper
Rk sport import fighter front bumper
cleaned up engine bay
I'm sure I've left out a lot of other things but you get the picture
Here are some more shots
Things I've done:
Poly motor mount,control arm bushings
Grand Am control arms
tokico d-spec/sportlines
rear strut tower brace
pacesetter header, 2.5" exhaust, magnaflow muffler
rear sway bar
Poly motor mounts
powershot rotors/hawk pads
k brace
on with somemore pictures
I know, I know, its flipped now
Looks clean, I like it. I saw the build thread title and got excited thinking it would be a 2nd gen build....but I like 3rd gens even more.
I think I have seen you around. I like the build. It's clean
Do you even notice a difference with the slotted rotors? I have been very hesitant to buy them. My fiero is the only car I have owned that had them and they are factory.
On the inside my car looks like a fighter jet.
I believe the slotted rotors are designed to move gas, heat and water away from the braking surface.
I noticed a pretty big difference in stopping power with the powerslot rotors and hawk pads. I've had these on for few mths now and no warping and very little brake dust. Thats whats going on all my cars from here on out. When I do the saturn/neon rear brake set up I'll be buying them again
I think a few members are running the same combo and like them.
I currently have hawk pads too. I see a lot of people buy drilled and slotted and to me that's a waste. Your loosing about 30% of the surface area if not more. I was going to buy slotted ones if get brake fade with the hawk pads. Haven't pushed them yet.

Overall I like the car. I feel it needs side moldings to complete the look.

I can't take credit for the lip or how the front end looks. The previous owner did that work, I agree and really like the look

Funny you should say that, I have 03+ side skirts sitting in my spare bedroom awaiting paint next year!
Forgot about some more pictures I had so I thought I'd post
Luk Clutch
Freshened up tranny with team green LSD
Small burnout in work underground to prove it works!
I would have to say that putting an lsd in my car has been one of my favorite upgrades! I can throw it into a corner and it sticks. Plus it tracks way better in the rain. Well worth it IMO
Dual aeroforce interceptor gauges with an aem wideband in the middlle
I don't thing I've seen three gauges across like that before. Looks clean. Got a front view pic of them?

Crazy enough it doesnt block the gauges barely at all.
He has the sunfire gauge cluster in there as well so it is set up different so you can see the gauges well.
I got drilled and slotted zinc coated rotors on mine and let me tell ya. First off cant get them hot as of yet last cupple months and on top of that damn do they stop hard and fast. Very happy with them

Yea I have the carbon fiber window tint wrap I just didn't take any pictures of it.
I'm going to install that next week, its supposed to get warmer here so it might be a good time to do it.
Anybody have a good how-to for that?
Great looking car man, super clean!
I just found my new desktop background. I absolutely LOVE this look! It is perfect. Exactly what I am going for. Even same front lip. I just can't find a good set of Z24 wheels. As for the side molding.....dont do it......those side moldings that go on the door throw the curves away from the body in my opinion. And yes great touch on painting the pockets of that lip.
GMR has got nothing on this

I agree I'm leaning towards removing my side moldings as well after seeing many cavs without it
