Welcome, what plans do you have in mind?

zboom86 06-18-2012 09:18 PM

My plans are:
Remove a/c(added when bought new)
Lower by cutting a coil and a half of stock springs
Install 8mm wireset with e3 spark plugs
Remove stock muffler add nice one with baffle(will not sound like a fart pack)
Delete cat after some test runs to see if it helps increase MPG(no smog here)
fill gaps in grill headlights
Add air damn under engine to prevent drag
Eventually rebuild new valves, better head gasket, new rings, polish head.
New paint on hood and hatch(they were replaced with different color parts.)

Is there anything that is recommended. Keep in mind I want this to look clean no cone on the back lol just not me.

removing the cat will not help fuel economy.

Sounds like a good plan, be careful of cutting to much off your coil springs. It increases the spring rate. Start with 1/2 a coil see how she rides and if you want more cut a 1/4 or so more @ a time. You prob dont want to be riding on your bumpstops.
