You need to cut that shifter shaft down a bit though!

Yeah in the projects, might put a T handle also and try to put a boot on the shifter too.

I need a boot for mine too.

Here is the link to the auto shift **** swap I did. It was super easy to cut the shaft down.

Eibach Sportlines.

Found em on Kijiji (Canadian version of CL) for $125. Couldn't beat that deal! Ended up spending another $150 on the QA1 Panhard, $375 on the KYB AGX's for the front and $30 on sway bar links, but the springs were still a good deal!

Oh yea, and I had to buy my brother subway for putting the springs on the shocks in his wall mount compressor at work. So add another $6 to that total.

Damn I woulda said good deal on the whole package if it werent for that subway. 680 is alright, but the 6 fir the subway bumps it up. And I gotta figure once you were already in subway you also got something for you that you wouldnt have gotten had you not been there, and thats another 6. So thats 692, and in my book thats seven bills.

Yep, the subway put it over the top for sure! I have a set of Edelbrock shorty headers to go on too, but my upgrade budget is depleted after the springs. Wife is getting VERY angry about car cash....something about tuition for the kids and mortgage...blah blah blah....I tuned her out, but she just got louder... :P

Me and you are in the same boat; i.e the very next two things im going to do are headers and springs. Btw, those look like z06 style wheels, am i correct? because i have c5 rims on my old girl, and im trying to get her to sit like yours does.

Those are C5 Z06 replicas. They WERE very shiny before I sent it in for paint. I think he left them on in the paint booth because they came back covered in CC overspray. I have 4 coats of clear on them though, so I am hoping I can wet sand/buff them out....if not, I will blast them and PC them later...

I have 8.5" 245's up front and 9.5" 295's in back. I wanted to go larger but my tire guy said that 295 were about as large as I can go on 9.5" rims.

Looks pretty good I must say. I'm just not a fan of black wheels. You just can't see the detail of them well and they end up just looking like black blobs to me. Not trying to hate just saying. Should be a nice time cruising with the top down come spring time though.
