Re: Project Winter Beater

Painted the stealth wheels I got from Ryan last year. Also painted and installed a little piece from my Laser on the front:



Had to remove the muffler I welded on. Noticed the inside had fallen apart and was just floppin' around inside the muffler. So, back to straight pipe:



Still daily driving it, and the car has been running great.... aside from a little crack in the I/C. Good thing I'm in blow-through configuration. Car also handles amazing with these tires and the new e3 16g power. I get lift-off oversteer, and throttle on oversteer whenever I want. I'm very excited for autox season to start.

I'm also adding power steering to it:





I don't have fluid in it yet so the belt is not on either. I have to get the cooler mounted and plumbed yet, so I don't want to make a mess and waste fluid.

My alternator went out a few weeks back so I bought a 90 amp gvr4 alt. from work (oreilly's), made a little heat sheild that bolts to the o2 housing, and installed a volt gauge where the cig lighter use to be.
