I can't take credit for it. One of the racers at the track told me about it. Some of those old shade tree mechanic guys are very knowledgable about how to fix these little problems.

Take another good look at that list of mine again. Did you not notice that Kook's LT headers were ahead of that? Yeaaa...think before you post. I'm glad the education you received taught you how to read. And call me conservative but I'd like to get my loans under control before I go FI (which I do plan on doing).

I don't understand why you felt it necessary to try to make me look like an idiot because I have a college education but it's whatever. I guess that's just the type of person you are.

Mine:
1. Pay off my hefty trans repair bill
2. Work on the boring interior - leather take offs, billet accessories, maybe Mycolor or ambient lighting
3. Finish exterior mods - replace hood, chin, hook up fogs etc
4. Throw some 255 tires on the back
5. Maybe some suspension work (LCAs, slight drop)

Keeping it somewhat modest for now

Ok so I figured I'd dig up this thread and see where I/we stand after 4 months or so

1. Pretty much done
2. Made a lot of progress - installed leathers, IUP steering wheel, leds etc
3. Got the chin, fogs are hooked up. Still working on the hood issue
4. Done (Nitto 555s)
5. Still working on this. Hopefully lcas in the next few weeks

So I've completed most of my goals so I'm happy about that. How bout you guys?
