An engine is like an orchestra. It's made up of wind, brass, percussion,

and a whole range of other complimentary sections, all working to

make that beautiful music that we call 'performance'...

Mods for the near future (between now and end of summer 2009):

Annoyances / Little things to fix:

  • 1) DOORS (Passenger window chipped at the top, tints need re-doing, power door locks don't budge, new water vapor shields, new lock mechanisms, pvc pipe around door strikers, windows need adjustment, wind noise coming from front of driver's door stripping and passenger a-pillar stripping, paint under the doors needed)
    2)Hatch pulldown motor might need replacement soon w/gear/guides
    4) third brake light seal (exterior) needs to be glued.. Also install black out decal
    5) loose shifter, little rust, (shifter cable?) and ugly+loose shifter knob...
    6) when shifting, it jumps too fast (not smooth shift into "D")... Also weird noise when going into reverse... Also high vibration at high revs/speed
    7) front ashtrey console has cigarette burn
    8) when turning wheel all the way, it rubs against the inner fender... (bare metal showing now.. must oil spray)
    9)T-Top weather stripping on side leaks into upper window + looks nasty and rippled
    10) When coming up a curb, the steering box (under the hood) sounds like crunching metal
