Well its time.... UPDATED 07/05/07
Welllll some of you already know my car is not in the grade A condition. That kind of started to bothers me. So I’ve decided to change it a little. Here are some shots of whats going on. Everything should be done by the end of the month or the first week of next month. Once again Central Auto from Ridgewood, NY is doing all the work.
I wanted to strip everything out of my car for this so nothing would be damaged by accident.

Well this Sunday has been one of the most insane Sundays yet. Basically it turned out to be 3 Manual Swaps, 2 Suspension installs, 2 transmissions rebuild. 5 guys 16 hours total! - Must be a new record.
I purchased a Quaife LSD and Tein SS-P w/EDFC from FrankMB and decided that it was a good idea to install everything in 1 day. Its 1:46 PM and I just got to work, lol.
Special Thanks to Eugene, Angel(Sleeper-VR4) Jason(MrJayDeeOne), Craig(fetal1), Anthony(not a member of this board) for helping with this nightmare of a project. If this job did not have the right amount of people none of this would have been done.
