This was my grandfather's car. He died of cancer. He loved this car so much that he was cremated and his ashes were driven to the cemetary in this car with the top Down. License plate will say 4Guy.

Slowly getting it how I wanted. Almost done with so called "performance" parts. leaving it n-a and slow for a while atleast. Still gotta do exaust and an intake. After that I will begin working on the looks.

This Weekend I am doing Exintake Mod, advancing the timing, and getting a header. If i get the money, I'll also be fabbing up a cold side intake. yeahh, I wanted to get rid of it at first, but I've decided to build it for him. As I finish things, I will make a Mod- list for things completed and take them out of the Plans list

Wow, i never knew thats how you got your car, and I'm matt i met you down at one of the statesboro car meets with austin.

[FlipKing]

Ohhh, Hey man, yeahh I remember you.

Completed exintake mod today. Only troubles were a bolt snapping off in the cam cap bracket and I had a few problems with the timing belt. I can def feel a difference and my idle didnt really change at all. header and timing next week hopefully.

[FlipKing]

Got the header on today. Thing was a B!#$$. Stock stuff didnt come off easy, then had to lift the motor.lol. Think I have an exaust leak at the header to cat, but thats b-c it only has one bolt right now, the 2nd was giving me trouble and I decided it'd be a job for another day. still have yet to advance my timing. Keep forgetting. Thinking of gutting my cat and putting a vibrant muffler on it. idk yet.

[mustangtomiata]

Coming from someone who is gutted and daily drives it i wouldn't recommend doing it. You really have to be hard nosed to live with it. And would you leave the radio and HVAC in? Also loud exhaust in a gutted car, which is how mine is, can get very old going down the road...again it takes alot to live with it.

[FlipKing]

Radio yes, well, I just bought an alpine cd player to put in it actually. What is HVAC? Yeah, had my doubts about gutting it. I have stock exaust for now. Having exaust done this summer.

Nice!

I did a the cat-delete pipe and my car lost all its baws. Put a Magnaflow cat on it and it gave its baws back. I personally don't thinks its worth removing the cat on a N/A engine.

[FlipKing]

Yeah, looking to do a high flow cat or test pipe. Need to heat wrap my header. Header goes out so far that it touches the steering rack(I guess thats what you call it). Need to heat wrap it to A. seperate it. B. To cool off under the hood a bit.

[mustangtomiata]

HVAC= heating an a/c. I wish i had my radio in still but the head unit didn't work quite right and I'm looking to find another daily driver as my car moves more towards a weekend/track/ITsomethin car.

[FlipKing]

Ohh, trying to keep the car whole. Willing to replace for lighter parts but thats all.

[mustangtomiata]

Good decision. I'll be down there soon, but next time i may be in the Oldsmobile.
