4)lower the car
5)all poly bushings
6)shocks, bigger sway bars
7) dump the spare tire, radio, an more things i find unecesary.

big list, and budget probablly wont allow for all of it, but thats the plan

Dood when you are ready to do all that let me know! Ive done it all on my car already! If you need a hand Ill hook you up!

Hopefully no more modding this winter! Ive spent ENOUGH on this car but most likely going to be saving / preparing for a blower! * MUWAHAHAHA!

Got a leak in my radiator, so while replacing that, I'll also be installing:

Electric water pump (50 g., Jegs)
LT4 Hotcam
Cloyes true-roller timing chain
95 LT1 timing cover
New Opti-spark (Chandler Motor Sports, forum sponsor)
Maybe do some porting to the heads, too.

Thanks Ricky! Yes, I have the adapters/ brackets to relocate the front swaybar and custom brackets to mount the rear shocks (FX3 and non-FX3).
Contact me if you needed an easier and stronger way to do the job, Carter (CT Machining)

1.) New injectors probably Bosch III's from FIC, and fuel filter

2.) New Weatherstripping

3.) The two back speakers in my car don't work so I'm gonna rip out all the bose crap and put in a new head unit, speakers, amp, and sub

4.) Reset the valve lash (not quite sure yet how to do this, so if anyone has any tips, feel free to chime in)

Of course, living in Tucson, I don't experience much of a winter so I'll be driving it throughout
