    Finally got my car together

    Well after picking up this low mile sonic 03 back in September or so, I have had the whole thing tore down and fixed of issues. What thought was a head tick issue turned into other things. Turns out 2 wrist pins were broken in half. So I had the bottom end rebuilt, heads got new guides, seals, and cleaned. I installed Bassani Mid-Lengths, Bassani o/r x pipe, Borla stingers, spec 3+, spec aluminum flywheel, MM caster/camber plates, H&R Sports, shaved IRS bolt, high torque mini starter, egr delete and hopefully Street591's AFS replicas soon. I'm sure I'm forgetting things. All that is left to do is button up a few things.

    Finally the car is back together and in smooth running order. So now I'm looking for a good tint guy to do a great job on this thing. I would rather not leave it somewhere while the work is being done, but that may be inevitable.

    Thanks fellas

    I'm always looking for parts! It's pretty much never ending.

    I'll have to call him up to see his availability. I appreciate it.

    I will be making a post of what I have after I get a list together. Off the top of my head I have a like new triax shifter, return spring mod for the clutch cable, snow performance strut tower brace (missing hardware, 2x SVT wheel center caps (new). I will be pulling the fore hat with GT pumps, MDM jr driver, 60lbs injectors some time here to upgrade.

    I am sure I have other parts in boxes so if you need something I may have it. I have a set of bassani headers and matching X pipe but I see you have those already.

    Finally got my car together

    I appreciate all the good words.

    I definitely want it done correct the first time. Tint, in my opinion finishes the look, and I'm picky most times.

    Looking forward to the shows this year, and all the hate to come from my car having no factory wing. Haha

    Good looking ride not far from me.

    I had Dawg Pound do my tint in Uniontown. Also Advantage window tinting in Greensburg has done a few of mine.
