Hey Guys!
I am some what new to posting to SVTP but have followed in the shadows for years! i first want to thank everyone who posts on this forum especially the how-to guys! I feel pretty mechanically inclined but a playbook has helped so much with the project lists!
Like most everyone here, there always seems to be something else you want to mod on these cars. My 03 has sat in the garage and was only driven probably 3-4 times this entire last year. I used Christmas this year as a jump start to my new years resolution....DRIVE THIS THING!!!!
Changes I made over the holidays were as followed
1. Full polished Borla ATAK catback(used the how to polish technique from 04sleeper) Love this exhaust, it's dang loud but for a once a monther car it's perfect to me!
2. Eibach pro kit coils- alot of debate and almost went H&R race but happy with the decision. No iso's
3. MM 4 bolt Caster Camber Plates. Again, recommended from his site and they worked out perfectly!
4. 18x9 and 18x10 Saleen reps in Charcoal. Toyo Proxes T1 sport 265-35 up front and Toyo Proxes R888 305/35 rears. I have always had Nitto's on my car and after a few spins with these R888's i am in love. The best tire i have ever had hands down!
5. Lo pro rear IRS bolts and 9/16 front IRS bolts. Again, careful reading on the forum fixed the demon that had been haunting me with the IRS. After a full IRS bushing install, dif cover brace, full length weld-in in subframe connectors i still had some slop somewhere. Replaced that first bolt and BAM...its a whole new car now!
I hope to become much more of an active and contributing member on this site this year! Here are a few updated pics from this weeks work on my baby!
