10K worth of work etc
- RS body kit
- New Paint
- Bumper stops removed
- Turbo ducts
- Painted calipers
- Reupholstered dash and seat
- New windshield
- New rear center reflector
- Fabspeed supercup exhaust
- New Alpine head unit, Memphis Amps and speakers
- New top, dunno if I'll install it
- New clear turn signals

Holy molly, over the past 3 years between a complete motor rebuild, transmission and now this it's over 30K.

With 128K miles anyone know what she's worth or did I make her the most expensive house on the block which is not the best place to be.

Keeping with the spirit of useless Christmas gifts, I got my car a new clutch vent hose.

Nice! A fun mod to do and looks great.


So, I didn't exactly purchase this item because it is a gift from my lovely girlfriend. She had it made by the same folks in Kentucky that make her horse bridles, halters, etc. The leather quality is superb. Love it. Don't mind the key, its uhh not doing to good so really the next thing on my list of presents for the car is a new key and remote.

Factory Rear Seat Delete shelf, Goldenrod, FDM SSK, and Function First slotted shift *****. So far I've only installed the ****, but I freaking love it. These slotted ***** are beautifully machined, high-quality pieces. Darin's parts are high quality as well, but everybody already knows this. I nearly went with the Rothsport shifter, which is also a beautiful piece of craftsmanship, but I decided I want to be able to adjust the shifter height. Jordan let me try his out, though, and I have nothing but good things to say about the Rothsport shifter as well.

To anyone considering Function First shiftknobs, I would encourage you to do so.

- Tore LED 3rd Breaklight
- New dashboard (can't stand looking at the small crack that is forming above the cluster)
- New oil cooler
- New interior blower fans. Goodbye constant squeaking.

Edit: I forgot, I also bought new headlight glass.

Please do a write up on the shifter upgrade when it's installed. I've been on the fence about this mod with the FF ****. Thanks.

It feels great and it looks great. I love it. The quality is there. What else do you want to know? I purchased both the shorter and the longer shafts so I have the maximum range in height adjustment. I anticipate the slotted **** will have a permanent home in my cabin.

I have been using the Rennline billet **** for years before this, which I also love, and it feels about the same size, maybe a smidgen smaller in diameter.

I like the fact that it has the shift pattern machined into the top surface. The trickiest part of the install is getting the shift pattern in the correct orientation. It took about 10 minutes of fiddling. I can try to upload a picture when I have the opportunity.

How does the **** work with the Rothsport SSK and Golden Rod? Any mounting issues? Any play in the system? Did you use your old shifter boot with the FF ****? Looking forward to the pictures. Thx.
