Arin deciding to sell his II means that his dairy will end. So i'm starting a dairy of my car. Might not be as entertaining or have updates as often but oh well.

So i ordered my first mod last week. Should be coming tomorrow. Nothing major but I'll post once i get it.

Let the mods begin.

 

Good luck!!

 

Great! Maybe every section in TMS should have a diary/journal of a member's car build-up, resto, or resto-mod. Perhaps I'll start one in the '79-'93 section? Nah, Arin's a tough act to follow and the lack of $$$ for mods would make it pointless.
Anyway, what is your "vision" for the car? Any particular emphasis - say drag-racing, auto-x/open track, cruiser/show car, or all-around daily driven butt-kicker? At least there is another "Auto-blog" on TMS to check in on even if the other one isn't quite done yet. Look forward to seeing your pony's progress. Good luck and have fun!

 

I've been hoping for a LONG time that you'd do one of these Chris Can't wait to see the progress you make, and the crazy schemes you think up.

(oh and if you think that diary is over... well.... lets just wait and see about that)

I nearly forgot to ask: what's the first mod?

 

first mod is somthing that everyone said couldn't be done.

 

Well I am a very budget minded individual so i am usually a no show all go kinda person.. my first mod i must admit is just visual. But I am more a drag race/street race type of guy. I ahvn't actually gone out ot street race in like 3 years but if i'm lined up with somone i have no problem with going at it right there.

Honestly mods aren't going to come to fast, but i will be doing a few things this summer that i can do for either free or becasue i have to(front bumper damage).

 

OK first mod. Everyone said that te 05 GT shift **** would not fit the 99 but i found it listed to fit 86-07 so i bought it.

I know that i might get killed from you guys cause i let my car get so dirty but oh well.

 

Looks good! So how does it feel compared to the stock one? Let the mods begin, can't wait to see what Bumper goes on next!

 

i like the look of it but i must say it feels like plastic after getting used to the leather...or fake leather of the 99 shifter.

its also taller then the 99.

will take a little getting used to but i like the look of it so much more it'll just take a few days for it to feel natural.

 

I like the look a lot. It its too tall, then that is a good excuse for you to get a short throw! Just a question, but is that a french fry on your shifter boot in the second picture? lol

 

actually thats not a french fry...not really sure what that is... like i said...i have my car to drive it, not to look at it...so i don't spend too much time cleaning it. lol


yeah i want a short throw and i thought about that with the taller **** too. looks like i am going to have to get one!

 

It looks good! Now for that followup shifter....

 

here is a list of wanted mods.

CAI of some kind.

i also have a set of 7 24lbs fuel injectors sitting in my closet that i think i might need as hp increases. But I need to find a 8th for a complete set. also I dunno what i need to support them.. new maf and possibly fuel rails..

 

Did some weight reduction today!

 

I like that look way better Chris. What are you gonna do about the holes?

 

I approve

Might want to find some rubber grommets or stoppers to put in on the inside of the trunk to prevent water from entering though

 

Actually i think i'm just going to leave the holes. the reason being is that the holes are actually on the outside of the sealed area so it would just drain in the exact same spot as it water goes in the side trunk gaps anyway.

 

after seeing these pictures makes me also notice my GT symbol is not straight..

 

dang, its not straight is it..

 

Do I smell a C/T?
