Mike's projects:

mikecg · #1 06-22-2004, 05:07 PM

Well, since I'm off until mid July and I have a suspend drivers license, I figure I'd take this opertunity to spoil my car. This is my list:

1) Build Speaker boxes for corners of trunk to reclame space. (completed yesterday - see theard on 12" woofer box plans)

2) Replace plugs (completed today - Driverside rear took longer then all the others together)

3) Touch-up paint

4) polish crome exhaust tips

5) clean and polish rims

6) Clean engine compartment

7) detail interior and exterior

8) install Motorsports springs

9) repair neon lights

Anyone got any ideas for other things I can do?

I know you were gonna say that.

I'm not to sure about that one. It's a big one. I'm a little leary doing something that major with out a back up vehicle. I'm having shop do the springs and I'm nervous about them breaking something as it is. I intend on buying a cheap beater soon. maybe the stick will come a little after that. Besides when I get the tranny from you I want to send it out for some modds. (high perf clutch, limited slip diff ect) I may even hold out until after the supercharger. (probubly not though)

I know ya did. I kinda want to do it. Kind of a test for myself. to see what I can do. Figuring out the limited slip diff part should be interesting. I know how to do RWD vehicles, but never even looked into make a FWD one.

Wait... what? Did I just hear correctly that SubaFreak was offering to make a bolt-on 5mt???

*faints*

PM me if there's any fact to the fiction before I die of a heart-attack.

Well that is just becouse Mike is getting everthing from me and it's only a FWD so there is no rearend or driveshaft issues. Just pedals and shifter aside from the X-member I all ready secretly offer.

Ya I'll be seeing you on the 15th at about noon. I take it the address you gave me is your work.

Subafreak · #10 06-28-2004, 04:58 AM

Um, was it a Canterbury CT, address? Then yes.

mikecg · #11 07-02-2004, 12:20 PM

Springs are going on today....

Well, finished that list. I need a new one now. So far I bought some red paint for the break drums and calibers. I also bought a better set of 12" woofers. I wasnt planning on replacing the ones I got for a while, but I couldnt beat the price.
