Spring 2010 Updates on my car
Well I have been stockpiling parts for over a year (because I love driving and couldn't bring myself to take it off the road before 
). But I finally had to tear into it this spring for some updates. My turbo's were blowing smoke and my transmission was grinding more often so things needed to be refreshed. I can't complain though I got over 2 years and 25k miles on the TT kit. It went on the car at 89k and I have over 116k on it now. 
Anyway on to the fun. I have a TON to do to the car this spring. Strano springs / KYB struts are going on. Finally wiring up all of my gauges, my shiftlight & stealthbox. I changed from a pillar mount to dash mounted auxiliary gauges to keep with my sleeper theme.
I got a 6LE overlay for my dash to change the look and swapped out the bulbs for LED's. Replacing my knock sensors to get rid of my Check Engine light and swapping my intake while I am in there from a f-body to a Corvette one to get rid of that EGR hole I plugged. I replaced my turbo cartridges (chinese knockoffs) with true Mitsubishi 20G-TD06 balanced centers. And I had my transmission rebuilt and upgraded with billet forks, bronze pads, new synchros and had to replace 2nd gear as well. I painted all of my exhaust gloss black while it was off / unbolted from teh car. I also had a bunch of stuff powdercoated to dress it up.
On to the pics. First two are the before of my trans and turbo's so you can see the before & after.
