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.

I've had them on my front brake lines for ~5 months now with no problems. My brake pedal remains firm and coupled with my semi-metallic pads, my car's braking performance has been greatly improved!

P.S. Have pics in my locker.

Ohyeah, I have 4% on my driver side fixed windows.
Did it myself, and looking to pay someone to do the passenger side.

Those are some nice systems there.
