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'...

Annoyances / Little things to fix:

  • 1) DOORS (Passenger window chipped at the top needs replacing/repair, tints need re-doing, power door locks don't budge, doors go too low/too high, new water vapor shields, new lock mechanisms, black tape on door strikers, solidify top door rail) and paint under the doors (under the door seals there is rust... needs to be sanded / paint!)
  • 2) third brake light seal (exterior) needs to be glued.. (adhesive?)
  • 3) loose shifter, little rust, (shifter cable?) and ugly+loose shifter knob+plate with cigarette burn... (install replacement shifter plate + momo shifter knob)
  • 4) when turning wheel all the way, it makes grinding noise.. alignment?
  • 5) SPEEDOMETER OFF!!! Go buy correct gears custom made gears... drive gear 15, driven gear 42?
  • 6) headliner passenger side, under sunvisor, needs new material to fix spot, and new sunvisors don't fit!
  • 7) Driver's Seatbelt headliner trim... Must paint to light saddle tan color and snap it in place!
  • 8) figure out headlight covers... GTS... Get a black sealant to go around to seal them air tight? more L brackets?
  • 9) Install new passenger seatbelt receiver (glue cracked part)
  • 10) Sell all used peices on EBAY!!!
  • 11) Hard shift from 1-2... A bit too hard...? Hangs at 2000 RPM and then bangs into 2nd...
