Raz's thread sparked this idea to just list stuff somewhere, mostly for my use but also for questions if i have some relating to my on going mods...

while updating, anything bolded, i have accomplished

Engine Bay/Performance

DO SOMETHING, UNDECIDED RIGHT NOW - painted blue

install nissan UD intercooler - fits really well, suprisingly
aluminum IC piping
aluminum intake

aluminum PS bracket
aluminum valve cover

purchase a 'new' turbo
install strobe light
purchase strut tower brace
oil catch can
remove vac pump assembly - maybe not
remove frame rail vibration dampeners - those things are heavy!
install rx-7 oil cooler
poly motor mounts
90+ ported manifold - grr :cry:
A cam - omg sounds great!
adjustable cam gear
exhaust fixed - no more hitting axle

Interior

rear door speakers - decided to forget it this year, as with 4 rear shelf speakers amped, and the two front door speakers, it will be plenty loud enough, just saves some hassle

4 - point harnesses - they feel sweet and hold you in nice
sub enclosure with subs into trunk
install second fire extinguisher - behind the drivers seat
blue LED dome light

Exterior

rear spoiler installed
wheels / tires
hood pins
fix a couple paint blisters
new brake rotors - purchased
install new brake rotors - 11.25" upgrade ftw

paint brake calipers - pretty blue, blue goes fast
install new brake caliper brackets - see above
SS brake lines installed - ooh shiny
wire up fogs
install new "brights"
install clear corners
install fender turn signal indicators
aluminum skid plate
hood scoops - purchased, thanks to Athal for the tip, Dave Barton for the hood scoops
install hood scoop
ALUMINUM HOOD!!!!!!!! YEAH - rick sr. pulled it @ bucks
hood vents

Other

true trac rear end install - matt's thinking about what to do, i say F the speedo lol

Damn nothing is bold!!!

My list befor ethe BC meet

Kaplan rear subframe torque rods and panhard rod *money in hand, talking with him*
Kaplan coil overs *again talking with him*
Kaplan camber plates *he still hasn't made them, damn 850 owners*

And the rest of the front Poly bushings Dale can get *havn't talked to him yet*

New Getrag and clutch

and IPD sway bars.......

I'd also like to get the MS+S and Wide band I ordered in also. But I don't think that will happen

I'd also like to get a new IC in before the trip.

I also WANT/NEED the Willwood kit you guys are making up.... So long as it fits under my wheels (migla milla 16x7.5)

I also need to order up some Koni's

Good thing I have access to an entire shop full of tools and special tools to get this done. THis weekend the new crank pully, motor mounts, pinion seal, and belts go on.....

By the summer after I'll have the 16V turbo built up and ready to go.

When I said new getrag, I'm pretty sure it will be a MM sport box.

updated list...broke my timing belt while changing my camshaft out, everyone said it's better now though...and everyone is prob right

only now the valves clatter like crazy...so we will have to shim the cam i guess...hopefully when i do this i can get some assistance from those who have done it before...but will plan a time to do it

did a bunch of other stuff...fixed some problems liek my horn deciding to ground out and be on always, that's fixed door panels back on in the rear....half of the 4-points are installed....went okay considering the set back of the timing belt

ciao

The only worry with my suggestion is that there might be some bodywork done to it, either from the factory or "aftermarket". Bondo doesn't polish so well...

Be careful with it too...aluminum doesn't spring back quite as willingly as steel. No more tossing Jen up on the hood and....well...you know what I mean... :P
