It's that time again.
Time to list your mods.
Upgrade, downgrade, performance, style, bought, or custom fabbed. I'm using this as an excuse to let everyone know I had my exhaust "resonator" removed at a local shop for $75, and on my lunch break today. It's a little louder. Not much. Most noticeable at lower rpms in 4th. I also scoped some rims I really like, 5 spoke, $125 a piece, $1200 with tires mounting and balancing. I'll get them next month if that's possible for me, and have me some nice summer wheels. Hok, here we go. Cone filter NGK Iridiums air mass resistor (I didn't take it out because that's what gives me sustained power mode) billet underdrive pulley carbon fiber break pads external transmission cooler Optima Red Top gold battery terminals 10in subs 600W JLA amp some old pioneer deck ECUTune stage 1 complete A/C component removed secondary muffler removed I have a capacitor, but I don't know how to install it, and I also want to remove, my rear speakers, but I'm too lazy too pull them out, even though they are disconnected. I'll reconnect them when I get some better ones. Oh yeah, they were able to weld both sides of the pipe.
