Yup 
I will be installing spacers and lug studs on my front wheels so that I can get my Cobra BBK to clear, a rear BBK, braided steel brake lines, and hopefully Eibachs and Konis. But the suspension might have to wait until the fall.

well i put on my wheels/tires this summer. I made a custome grille, james92se style that matches my lower accent color. i got rid of my magnflow(cough its forsale buy it) and put on a 5ht gen muffler. i bought an intake(warpspeed) and i will be flush mounting my stupid bimmer lights as they look stupid and shoot up into trees right now. and i hopefully will be doing a push button start, just cuz i think its kinda neat.

But before that, relishing in the fact that my wheels are better than TripleGMax's or Jeff's.

Jeffs wheels > * by default because I helped clean them

They did that design change, not sure if you remember my thread. Tok's on the VG? Koni's and SFC's and you wont even care about the neighbors Cobra "needed: 'assistant' to rob a bank, preferably with a fast car that handles well

"wanted: 'assistant' to rob a bank, preferably with a fast car that handles well ". Tok's on the VG are crap. I plan to leave them on there.... forever.

look at # of coils + space between
IIRC new ones were the ones with more coils spaced closer (it's only 1 extra coil).
not forever!
there is no winning

Matt said they do the same thing, just accomplish it differently. Eibach wasn't too much of a help but you can call them up and ask lol.I just used my old ones because I like them
(IIRC the old ones were thicker. It should be in the archive at the batcave)

Custom grill for the cefiro's, if I decide to stay with this max I might go boost (Boneyards love the way I rid trannies for them), stock exterior, maybe a bigger amp and subs, and 25% tints. If I have any money remaining I'll get a Maaco body job and repaint.

S10- fix up, tune up, cleanup, and install a 4.3L v6 and detonate a few bombs in this stupid 2.2L I-4 Im taking out. What a slow POS. Darn good thing its a manual or it wouldn't be fun. Ive driven a 98 with the 4cyl and its a total dog. Hopefully the v6 will bolt up to the tranny, it should If not thats fine too, 1st,2ed, and reverse syncros are toast, driveability sucks with it. Im hoping to build up this engine to make about 200WHP. I may put it on the bottle later on for instant fun on occation. I would def run a 2-3 bottle setup tho. Screw 2-5 min per bottle.
Maxima- toss a tranny in it and fix all the little problems. I bougt it for $300 with a bad tranny, and my spare tranny is auto. Hope fully I can find a 5 speed and get rid of these damnd autos. Next year Im going put a turbo on it and shoot for more then 250 FWHP eventually. My buddy works at a shop around here that does custom turbo setups. He just finished a 5.7L Twin turbo Vett that pushes 820 HP and it hasnt been broken in, or perfectly tuned. When they got it it had 900 miles, and it has 1500 now. Its nuts....
Also gotta lower the max an inch. I like Tripplegmax's setup but Im not buying 18's so I figure a 1-1.2in lowering and 17's should be cool. I may even stick with stock rims since Im more into performance any way. Besides I might just get smaller rims and tires for autox'ing.
Oh and for the s10 Im going to make a custom exaust and when It comes time to turbo the maxima Ive got a sick custom header in store for it. But untill then Its handalling upgrades and putting a 300w sterio in it. No need to erase my mind with bass.

On the maxima maybe smaller rims. If they fit Ill just use the s10 rims with better tires. I can think about relesing the clutch in 1st or 2ed and bark the tires. Even when Im relesing the clutch slow, they bark. What cheap POS, the tires any way.
Hell no Im not blowing up my s10. Just that damn 4cyl. Bring some popcorn Ill make a show outta it!

i am tinting windows, getting rest of warpspeed exhaust, maybe a HUD and ACC mod. only if i can find a dam HUD and ACC. i was thinking about one from a 240SX but didnt know if it would work and how to wire it up. getting a unorthodox UDP. and maybe a Warpspeed CAI or maybe mr.gones...... ohh and i fixed my wing on my trunk, it is holding very nicely. i used liquid nails and clamped it to my hood. it has been a week or two and has been holding through the rain pretty well. just gotta see how much wind resistance it can handle 
oh and washed and waxed her yesterday too, she looks beatuiful and paint is actually smooth. i used Mother's cleaner wax. worked wonders, and interior is TOTALLY DONE! yay
edit: ohh and yeah, this summer my goal is to finally drive the dam car!!!!!

Well if I can quit painting other people's cars then I can finish and paint my 93 to sell. I am not complaining though because I have been able to make some extra money...I have 2 more paint jobs to do in the near future but hopefully will have my 93 done before that.
Other than that I am just going to finish up on my house (putting the siding up after enclosing the carport, remodeling and repainting on the inside) and hopefully start on a shop that I am in bad need of.
I wish I could say start on the Chevelle but that’s probably next summers project...maybe this winter since the carport will be enclosed (and will hopefully have a garage door).

Oh gees....So far I've done....New control arms, new parellel links in the rear, New 15x7 wheels wrapped in 225/50/15 tires, new front and rear end links, Got my warpspeed exhaust sitting in the garage waiting for the new cat for it, New ball joints, new tie rods, replaced all of the window regulators, new shocks, and a new rear spoiler. Just need new seats and new CD player and I'm set. I'm trying to make the car last for another 3-4 years. Shouldn't be too hard since it just turned 100K miles.
