    New Suspension Is On!!!

    So, thought I would just show her off a little bit.

    It's been an interesting few months... I feel like I need to re-introduce her, she's so different than when I first got her... maybe not cosmetically, but she's now a reliable DD...

    The maintenance and minor mods since I got her (OCT 2011)- at 109,000 miles.

    T-belt, water pump, thermostat
    Brake fluid
    coolant (about 3 times now)
    Head gasket! this was a pain in my ass- finally found a good mechanic.
    diff and tranny fluid
    TMS chip- worth every penny!
    Ireland Engineering SSK, new bushings
    Rugged all-weather rubber floormats- necessity, but ugly.
    Stopped running cheapo-on-sale oil with Valvoline VR1 20-50
    Catalytic converter deleted
    ZHP shift knob
    UUC clutch stop
    New leg muscles- Bilstein Sports and H&R Sports (if tires are shoes, suspension would be legs, right??)

    Meet Suza- Getting ready for and receiving an old-fashioned hot bath-







    Cardinal?? You tell me.







    side note edit: any ideas about what to do with my fogs? the BBS valence doesn't really lend itself to any other configuration that I can see.

          Nice early model. Your screen name made me think of this...

          Enjoy

                  it is. still have the original bill of sale or whatever- "BBS Air Dam" ha!

                  thinking about getting it painted the same color (Polarissilver), but will probably wait until i "smack into something" so my insurance wil cover it.

                  EDIT: or rather, until something "smacks into me" so I don't get a Driver Fault claim on my driving record- safe driver discount FTW!

                          I used to have one of those with the fog light cut-outs. I think color matched would look fantastic. Have any interior pictures?

                              There should be a place on the back of the valance where it can be cut out for fogs.





                              But personaly, i'd keep the car as is and just paint that valance to match the body!

                                  I couldn't remember if they had the cut outs or not. I think that maybe some were cut from the factory. The cut-outs in mine looked like they were molded into it.

                                  I agree, don't cut them though.

                                                  Looking good! Put some wheels on that thing and it will be all kinds of proper.

                                                      It's Polaris Silver over Cardinal Red, I think it's cardinal, anyway.
