RE: pics of lm1's installed
ORIGINAL: silver03gt
I usually just spray the underneath with soap and water when I wash it, as far as whats next, well, as I can afford it:
Engine and driveline,
CAI
Intake manifold (if edelbrock's ever comes out)
T/B and Plenum
NGK Plugs
Cams
Transgo Shift Kit
u/d Pullies
High output alternator
relocating Batt. to trunk (optima yellow top) to trunk ( I know people say its useless, but weight transfer is traction, even if it's only a bit)
Supercharger (if my buddy can get this used one he told me about) Nitrous 100 shot if not)high 12's
and of course, a good handheld tuner
lt headers with a catted h-pipe,,, would be way to loud without cats, the LM1's are awesome
Body and suspension:
Lowering springs 1.5-2"
C/C plates
Shelby stripes
Tint
Mach 1 grill delete and chin spoiler
Xenon ultra white fog lights ( to match my headlights, the fogs look like s*#t with the headlights on now)
Drilled and slotted rotors all around
Some decent tires
Ghost Flames
Polyurethane bushings in the sway bar end links and control arme
I'm gonna box in and powder coat my factory control arms
subframe connectors
interior
Gonna install my 1500 watt alpine mrv1505 ( i bought it new back in 97 and love it) along with a custom enclosure for my single 15" alpine type R sub. ( I already have my audio stuff, so it'll probably be first)
This is gonna take probably the whole summer, but I am hoping to have it in the high 12's no boost or juice, and who knows if I am running them,,, a long project, but should be worth it in the end, Oh and I am not getting gears, and if I do, only 3.55's, I like my top speed and economy, I drive on the highway a lot.....

RE: pics of lm1's installed
Prepare for some flames... Also, why spend that much money to go from 3.27 to 3.55? 4.10s wont lower your top speed anyway unless you are pretty heavily modified.... And from what I hear (from peoplw with gears) they only lower your mileage by about 1-2 MPG....
OK, maybe I will go lower with e the gears then, how about 3.73's are they worth it?
Why should I get flamed, I bought this car to mod it and by the time I am done with it, this is what I want to do, It is gonna be a long expensive project, but I do all my own work and have the time and money to accomplish everything I want to do. if someone wants to flame me for what I want to do with my car, thats there ignorance, I am personalizing it for me, not anyone else, ya know?
UPDATE, Got my foglights today, they are much brighter than stock, look good with the headlights, the pics don't do it justice, it looks a lot better than the stock lighting, I'll try and get some pics of it at night if its not raining

RE: pics of lm1's installed
I don't think I will actually do both, but I have always liked the look of shelby stripes on silver, I don't know what I was thinking with the ghost flames, I think I'll edit that out, but I wanna do 8 inch wide black stripes with a 2 inch gap between them, I like that look
