Threw it together pretty fast. Credit goes to Jason who rode shotgun!! ...and you for letting me insert your pics. I need to redo them using the higher resolution ones.

Yeah, but, my advice...spend money on performance mods first! Fancy gels and creams are nice but, they don't add to the fun factor of driving!!!

I'm going to be doing zero warranty breaking performance mod until my warranty is up 125k miles from now lol. Except a driver upgrade (plan on taking some classes if I can find them for a decent price). Rims and tires eventually, but I'll be getting my dollar's worth out of these ones, either in miles or smoke lol.

I'd rather just do that small bit of exterior modification first to make it "mine", then worry about the other stuff after. Except for adjusting the clutch. That's my first piece of business for today!

Yeah. Threw that "rough draft" together late last nite without editing any pictures. (No longer available for viewing.) This version is more viewable but they still run pretty fast! I'll work on posting up some of the best still shots and update a link when done.

Hey! Been there, done that. Spent all kinds of $$$ to make it "mine". Some of us have spent $$$$$$$ more than others, too!!! How'd that adjustment go?

Lol, I certainly understand that. My "projects" usually involve upgrades costing several magnitudes more than the initial vehicle does. The twins and bulletproofing on one of my old 24v cummins to run +750hp/1100tq alone cost more than the truck did! But this car's gonna be the baby, and my everyday/daily-driver, so it's going to stay stock performance wise until the warranty's up.

That clutch adjustment made a WORLD of difference. If the car scored a 9/10 before, doing the clutch adjustment just made it about a 11/10. Such a huge difference. I didn't take actual measurements, but before it seemed like the clutch had to travel a full foot to cycle the clutch. Now it seems like it only requires about 6-7", and it engages an inch from the floor instead of like halfway through the stroke (and don't worry, made sure I'm not inadvertently roasting the clutch).

It's super easy to do, I even made an SST for it (line wrench, bent in the middle) lol. If anyone wants to try mine out, then wants to do it on theirs, I wouldn't mind doing it for you. Not hard at all and takes at max 10minutes. It's a back popper though!

I'd love to do that to my car!

Hey, I figured out YouTube. Newby there so, took awhile. I guess the record label company was offended of my use of Tom Petty so had to delete my original music track. #@$%^&&*#

Yeah they do that sometimes, gotta use a copyright statement in your description so you can keep it. I had to do it a few times for my BF3 videos but i dont know what the notice said, it was basically a fair use act or some sort.

Still waiting on a photodump!!!

That is a nice collection of guitars, and I love the paintings behind them.

I agree on the video.I'll eventually pickup a gopro or a larger CF card to shot video with.
