If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. I know its stupid to **** with an automatic but my mom drives my car alot since its the only reliable car we got (knock on wood) and she dont know how to drive 5speed. Plus i like to take road trips alot so i think ill get a 5speed weekend warrior kinda deal and keep the automatic as a DD. This list is not nessecerily in order, its just how it came into mind.. i been searching DAP color hatches all day and they look good slammed with white or gold wheels.. Hell the one even looked good riding chrome but i dont think i could pull it off.. Im going to try to debadge it today if i get time before it gets dark.. ill take pics Suggestions Welcome. PS, if anyone knows where to get any of the things i listed on the cheap, please post it for me!

 

you gots alot on ur list post some pics of said ride

 

UPDATE: Pics + Number 37, 38, 39, and 40 added

New Update: number 41 and 42

 

Love the hood prop.




*edit*
Your intake hurts my head.

 

thats part of my intake holding my hood up lol, and yeah, it hurts my head too. Thats why you dont let your friends work on your car.. cause they quit when they want and never finish lol.. i tryed to take the airbox off and couldnt.. idk why lol.. but yeah, im gonna work on getting it all finished..

also gotta get my airhorn wired up correctly.. ill take pics of the horns tonite..

 

thinking of anything non-cosmetic?

 

Does my insurance or tags count as non cosmetic?

why would i even try to make an automatic DD fast... after i get it lookin the way i want, if i get the cash and deside to, i might get a swap and 5speed conversion.. but mainly for looks..

and yeah.. Intake, Convert to ex exhaust so that would mean Header, downpipe, high flow cat, and catback, also strut bars are for handling.. not cosmetic..

after i get all this, maybe ill be as fast as you are in that video you made.. Same Goals!

 

^^ LOL.
whats so hard about taking the airbox thing off?
Why not do a mini me swap lol
wouldnt it make a difference even if its an automatic?
probably more fun to drive it wouldnt it?

 

@da one: idk lmmfao, im mechanicly inclined.. i got the sensor off but i could not get that box off of the throttle body.. idk where to unscrew it and i looked and couldnt find it lol.. i think after i get everything looking good and clean, ill do a y8 or z6 mini me.. but like i said, i dont plan on making this my fast car or anything.. just a DD with looks.. i want a sol, rex, or 4door project.. hell, maybe even another hatch.. idk lol but i want a seperate DD and Project.. cause i cannot go without a car for more than a week lol,

 

yeah i know.. lol mines an auto also.
but i think a mini me would be pretty cool tho lol.
anyone know if there would be any change?


so you got new rims already?

oh and carbon fiber mirrors? lol never seen that.
