-new exhaust
-glass headlamps and shields(one day:-p)


Ebony (if I didn't drive it in the city daily)
-replace door, hood and bumper and fix rust
-redo hood and trunk struts
-shorten manual shifter and redo bushings
-replace the rest of the bushings
-5000k hids in low beams
-wire in the new crossovers for front speakers and tweeters

Oh thanks for that! I didn't think I'd get assistance simply by posting what I want.. Looks like something else I gotta print before the days done.

Thanks for the helpful, yet unexpected assistance!

Re: what's your mod to do list....

Man, where to start? I know I'm forgetting some things, but:

-5 spd PPG conversion (4.44, helical cut)
-Full custom exhaust (might as well while it's off for the conversion)
-STi bearings fore and aft
-Upgrade all bushings
-SS brake lines
-Old Tom's big brake kit
-17" BBS wheels, silver (unless the stock rims fit over OT's kit)
-Tires (mine are all right, so I don't have a particular brand on my wish-list)
-Koni or STi suspension, maybe 1" lowered
-Clear-lenses all around
-LED brakes, lights, and turn signals
-HID high beams (already have the lows and fogs)
-Conversion for fogs to be able to turn on by themselves
-Custom Alcyone tailbar badge
-Optima red-top battery
-Upgraded alternator
-Complete engine reseal and rebuild
-Full supercharger build (including lower comp pistons)
-Hydra EMS with maps for 91 and E85 (higher boost, more timing advance)
-Engine covers
-DVD touch-screen with the door still being able to close
-Heated seats
-New dash bits (wood or gray; haven't decided)
-Motorsports Warehouse leather seat covers (two-tone light and dark grey)
-30-35% tint all around
-New windshield
-Custom moon-roof with transitional glass (limo-tint in the sun, clear at night)
-New motors for all electric windows
-New hood and trunk struts
-Fiberglass hood
-Full repaint to factory pearlie
-Lambo doors (I don't care if t3h C1v1|< has them; they look good on t3h 5\/><)
-A thousand little things; like black painted calipers, cleaned engine bay, polished lines for AC and the like, new wiring throughout (for good measure), on and on and on.

The problem is, if I had all that you could never get me back to work! I'd just cruise Hwy 24 (it's the road that leads out of my town; behind Pike's Peak) and all those twisty, mountain backroads at ridiculous speeds all day. Not that I don't already, just not all day on a bad bearing . . .

Oh interesting! It depends on what you plan on doing to the motor and transmission I suppose..

I plan on getting a supercharger and a 4.44 transmission.. Both of those are mods.. One to the engine and one to the tranny

What would you possibly want other than an EG33? I could see mods to the stock engine, but not an EJ22, LS8, etc.

Maybe a Porsche GT2 TT motor; but if you have that much snatch, why not just TT the EG33?

Lol, I don't want something other than the EG33...read my sig

Seriously I like the stock feel of this Svx but if I ever get money...

-High output alternator
-SS Brake lines
-stereo upgrads
-get rid of the subaru in the tailbar
-exhaust
-lightweight pulleys
-new paint job-stock scheme just "freshen up"
-heated seats
-tinted windows-still unsure
-led brake lights
-glass headlight lenses/clear corners
-JDM folding mirrors
-Alcyone hood badge-mine doesn't even have one right now
-get engine cover/belt cover
-upgrade suspension

Can't really think of anything else off the top of my head other than replace everything possible with new from factory parts...Mine will probably stay basically stock for a really long, long, long time...Oh well...I can have my dreams
