I'll take ANY advice on any of these items.

Find some seats that fit a 6'4" driver.
Replace Chain Tensioner Seals - Mechanic can do although I'd like to try if not too difficult.
Replace Black headliner - Body shop
Have Painted by body shop-
- Headlight Surrounds (Now Primer Black Matte)
- Splitters (Now Primer Black Matte)
- Rear wing spoiler (Currently Metallic Black - Found Used Replacement)
- New 9' rear Cup 1's resprayed
- Have internal sunroof drains reattached that rattle now.
- Front window out to repair minor rust if there (I'm sure there is)
- New Sunroof seals
- Install New side Window felt

- Have car lowered slightly and corner balanced -RS height
- Remove old faded tinting from rear window (cant wait)
- Find a way to attach horn button to a quick release Momo Mod 7
- Install FVD Front Splitters - I'll try that.
- Install Front brake air ducts
- Add some wheel spacers

- replace all speakers with something I don't listen to radio much now.
- cracked dash replacement -have a replacement (worried it'll squeak after R&R)
- new brake disks and pads- any recommendations on brands

^^^awesome Jev^^^

I'd like to delete my power steering and do a carbon sunroof panel but will probably only have time to thin out the wiring loom and buy some lightweight parts.

Rob - Yes, my coupe is an occasional DE car. I haven't done it in a few years. My spending money was going towards my engine rebuild.

Believe it or not but my car is almost ready so this winter is pretty calm:

1 993 brake cylinder and booster
2 Replace oil pressure sender (done)
3 Replace airduct on engine fan (done)
4 Remove evaporator. Left it in there when I deleted the A/C many years ago.
5 Replace fuel pump when tank is out (for removing the evaporator)
6 Spark plugs
7 Starter overhaul
8 Every winter: engine oil, tranny oil and valve clearance check.

Done!

Thomas

Let me know when you're ready to process an order for our Fabspeed Catbypass Pipes! I'm looking forward to working with you.
