Well as you know due to some unfortunate acts of vandlism, my car is now at the body shop to have said damage fixed. I figured I would start this thread, and update as needed with pictures. Things that WILL be done while it is in the shop:


  • Fix dents
  • Get new A/C condensor
  • Install MAM Front Mount InterCooler
  • Install DGM Urathane Front Lip
  • Change out all rubber turbo water lines to steel-braided.
  • Refinish wheels
  • Install VGA screen and carputer components
  • Install Fiber Images Kevlar Blue and Black Fiber Hood
  • Install AWR and GT Spec Suspention Components

What did GT Spec suspension components did you get?

I got the 4-point ladder bar and lower front tie arm brace so far...
 
wow, lotsa thing to be done before the dyno meet in AZ huh.
on a side note, is there a thread about the vandalism or can you say what happened?
 
any pics of that hood? I dont recall ever seeing it...

Good luck with everything!
 
Ya' see what happened was, I got really jealous of his car and I showed up in Texas, then I blacked out...

Good luck with all the body work and POST PICS of your car puter set up.

None ordered yet... I was thinkning of the ladder bar for the front, and the latteral arms for the rear. AWR adjustable end links, and swaybar for the rear. I definitely need new shocks/struts though. I still have the originals on after 130,000 miles! (eek2)

Werd. It won't be anything fancy, just a Xenarc, and a laptop....
 
Ahh I think the laptop idea is the best option, either way I'd like to see the setup as I might go that route if ever decided too.

Are you going to run GPS on it?
 
linux if you wanna get the illuminas I know a good place to get them pretty cheap. Not sure if it's the cheapest place but it's the cheapest I've found. It's where I got them from and they are nice people. pm me if yah want.
