-KW V3 coilovers (and all the bits needed to fit them to the car)
-Rennline top mounts, camber plates, bushings, etc.
-SS brake lines
-Painted calipers to match the car
-Rebuilt the steering rack
-RS sways & end links
-SS clutch bleed line run into the engine bay
-RS heater bypass tube
-Removed rear window wiper properly (new glass, removed all wiper bits, recovered parcel shelf)
-New tires

Car feels good, went from crappy handling with lots of bump steer to crisp handling with excellent turn-in response. Haven't had time to really shake it down yet, nor to take any pictures, but I'll post some up soon.

Nice! I plan to start on a similar upgrade this weekend.
Swapped out the Standard AirBox for a FVD & BMC Cone Combo..
UInfortunately, was pretty sick with the Flu, so didn;t head out after fitment to see/hear/feel the difference.. I went straight back to bed..! This coming weekend though, a Drive is planned..

That looks very nice - I'm just imagining the sound! Get better quickly - and report back on the sound/performance changes!
Finally got around to installing the GMorat bumperette plugs today. Turned out pretty good and should hold me
over until I get them properly filled some day. Thanks GMorat for having these 3d printed
I bought insurance from Hagerty, asked Nick from the trucking company to please take care of it on the trip cross country, and started cleaning the garage.... 😬

Looks great, but curious to know if it makes any power....anyone dyno this setup?
Finally set-up my new Quick Jack lift yesterday and started turning wrenches: started prep for SAI clean-out by dropping heat exchangers, replaced bottom spark plugs, and polished a few bits while I wait for a few new parts.
