My mods are a quieter exhaust, the rest of my suspension, some dent pulling and body clean up, then i want to drop in a small 2.0l turbo. this is if funds allow. so it will probably just be the first 2 but hopefully 3 iteams

This really only applies to the folks running FMIC’s because it will allow the air to leave the engine bay more efficently therefore lowering the temperature of the air charge, as well as underhood temperatures. I spoke to a fellow in New Zealand who races an S14, and he told me that they seen a huge improvement on engine temps and air charge temps by running the hoods. He swears by them. It makes perfect sense as well. The only reason I can’t see someone buying one is the cost. I recommend them to all our customers with FMIC’s

The first SR swap in edmonton had a reverse scoop in the hood. Great for engine cooling. I’ve two hoods but didn’t want to screw them up even more. Maybe this is the summer to try. My mods this year focus around harness cleanup and engine cooling. My house needs to get paid for as well.[/quote]

I nearly bought that car too. I can’t remember that guy’s name anymore though…man that was like 4 years ago.

I just might make a cowl scoop to help the Z with cooling. That thing gets so hot under the hood! :shock:

- 17inch stock escalade rims
- 93-97 front grill
- Spindles and blocks to lower the bitch a couple inchs
- New exaust and header
- Clear corners and signals
- Shaved rear bumper
- New tint and rear window
- New stereo
- And some other dreams!!

Will See what 2005 brings?!?

After last year’s greatly anticipated new “New car” air freshener and visor sun glass’ holder I thought how can I raise the bar? So here’s my 2005 mods, I was going to keep it a secret but what the hell I thought I’d let the cat out of the bag.

-Re-torque my rims  
-Inflate my tires to 32 psi  
-AND possible (if funds permitt) try the new 94 octane pump gas :shock:
