Almost 10 years ago now I bought this exhaust and did a decent write up about it on 3si.org that attracted a lot of attention of the community. The exhaust was extremely cheap and very high quality even if it was China made. Needless to say I still have and run that exact same exhaust […]
One thing that is a constant when it comes to restoring older cars, is that a lot of parts are worn out. Not only from general use, but over time. Older cars used a lot of rubber type materials for bushing and such were they needed to cushion or reduce shock. The problem with those […]
I always had a color scheme in mind when I was building the car, and it didn’t involve the oem orange lighting. I wanted a blue/white interior lighting which means I had to either replace things or modify them. It ended up being a mixture of both in order to keep that stock looking appearance […]
I’m an old bass head and I love having great tunes in my cars. At a minimum I have added at least a subwoofer to every car that I have ever owned to make up for the lackluster audio system that cars come with. I grew up building massive car stereo systems and traveling around […]
If you haven’t noticed by now I like to do everything myself. There is a higher level of accomplishment that can be had when you know that everything little thing has been done by you. At the same time you also have nobody to blame but yourself for anything that goes wrong, and it will. […]

The day finally came to swap the motors out. As I said previously I wasn’t going to drop the new motor in until something went wrong with the old one. Well it ran strong for a couple more months while the new motor sat back in my little workshop room.made a couple trips to the […]
A new house with a garage means I get to finally work inside for a change. What a better way to celebrate than with some new turbo’s and a whole new front mount intercooler setup and pre-turbo pipes.I stumbled across someone online selling a set of turbo’s with really no details about them. I could […]
When you build everything yourself from the ground up you’re going to run into issues over time. It’s bound to happen and it never fails. One of the biggest things that drives me nuts is leaks. Being the clean freak that I am, I seem to always have some random leak that seems to form […]
I have never been a fan of the stealth banana wing regardless of the style. It just never fit the body to me. It looked like some Dodge engineer stole the wing off a Talon and bolted it to the back of the Stealth and thought that it looked good. The wing was curved and […]
