OK, now here's Selena the day I brought her home and the mods she had:

* K&N Drop in Air Filter

* Flowmaster 40s
* 3.55 Gears
* 23 Tooth Speedo Gear

Problems I had repaired that were bad and not mods are: front/rears rotors/calipers/pads, new caster cambers, new A/C compressor, A/C lines, new rear main seal, new 245/45/17 Firestone Fusion Tires, new thermostat sensor, new temperature sensor, new EGR valve, new EGR sensor, new IAC sensor, new T-5 transmission, and several other tid bit things that needed my attention when I first got the car. Yea, it was beat up, but being young and determined, plus wanting a V8, I was ready for the ride.

Looks great bro can't wait to see the pics of the kb as well as some numbers

[jthorn9]

Then here's the engine after a few repairs and a nice new BBK CAI, and Ford Racing 9mm spark plug wires (no longer on the car). Oh, you'll also see the power cable to the subs and amp has been ran. At the time I had two 10" JL audio W1 subs in just a regular 10" box.


Then here's after the chrome radiator hose, power steering cover/cap, and fuse box cover, along with the blue hose covers


Then the engine after the gas hood shocks, chrome strut tower brace, chrome radiator cover, and maybe one or two other small things


The engine in it's near final stage before the head/intake build up, chrome alternator, and after a second layer of blue wire loom covers


My interior mostly stock with just the satin door inserts, parking break cover, pedals, and window washer control covers, plus the running pony carpet.



My interior after the new seats, the satin door handles, the satin door control switches, satin door pins, MGW shifter, but still the old Eclipse stereo.




My exterior after the head lights and tail lights



My trunk after the running pony mat, but before the new subs and box


Much more recent pics, my exterior after the chin spoiler, new S-351 wing (old one was cracked), and side scoops.

[97v6stanger]

[red281gt]

[jthorn9]

[97v6stanger]

[red281gt]

[Neko-]

That is a load of alterations... wow...

[jthorn9]

I'm a Sr. Department Manager for The Home Depot, nothing "that" special, I just know how to manage money lol.

[red281gt]

So do you have any new numbers to show us?

[jthorn9]

Nope not yet I'm working on trying to get with a shop to do a dyno tune with my SCT chip because I'm running really rich again, I'm almost temped to pull a vacuum to create a leak to get my mpg back. I went on a long trip after I fixed some of my vacuum leaks and my mpg went from 22 to 16 and I smell gas much more strongly than I did before. I know my fuel injectors need to be knocked down to spray about a 50 or 60% load instead of the 80% it's doing now.
