i like it, very low key. i would definetly get some wire loom to cover those yellow and red wires in the engine bay. its looks almost 100% factory, the nicest part is the idle air control valve. its very clean looking.

Do'oh! I was hoping no one would notice the extra wires. Those are for the city lights in the Cefiros and some cheapy fogs I put on. I need to trim down the extra wire so it looks a little better. There is still so much to do. I guess I will hit that up next pay day when I do the MagnaKool Lower Radiator Hose.

looks good w/ that 3.5 in there.

Did you ever re-dyno your car? Also that dyno you posted from maxus, was that w/ the 3.5L headers or the 3.0L?

I never redyno'd. There really hasnt been much mods performance wise since Maxus. Only things are the Motostrom UPD and a Blehmco Grounding Kit. Neither of which I expect to see huge gains from. I really cant remember if we reused the 3.0 heads or not. Im pretty sure we did. Eventually there will be some Cattman Headers in there.

Nope. Its kind of low on the priority list. At least until it really starts bugging me. I plan to fix the trunk with a 97+ Upgrade. I just need to find a white one some where around Austin.

Did you simply remove the emblem from OEM grill or you added a black mesh?

The clear coat is holding up like a champ! What hood did you get? I need to give it a good buff job though with some swirl mark remover. My engine bay isnt that clean. I need to take it to the car wash for a good once over. Im just waiting till closer to Maxus.

Very nice, always loved your car. I sort of see a bit of mine in yours, probably the 95-96 love I especially like the grill, where could I pick one up at?

JSutter and gtr_rider, you guys are making me want to do that light mod to the bumper lights, I love how it looks, as I like the look of driving around at dusk with only the corner lights/side markers on
