Pshep Build Thread

Not really sure where to put this. If i put it in the wrong place, please make me aware and move it if need be.

Well here it is. I have a lot of plans, but they will be slow going. (you know. being broke sucks.)

Not sure if i like it yet or not, but just a trial run. And before anyone tells me about that strut tower, trust me i know. im going to try and clean it up and see how far down the rust goes. if its not too far i will probably just weld it in and undercoat accordingly. haha

Thats a mighty clean engine bay. Low miles? What kind of mods are you thinking about? Power goals?

83k, and I ordered some TTR trans mount inserts. Which will hopefully be here by next week, and I don't know yet. Probably just make it a fast DD. I found out it already has the stage 2 GMPP. So, probably CAI, header, exhaust, STB, solid motor mount, wheels, spoiler delete (the dealer i work at has the same color cobalt but minus the spoiler so i may see if they will swap me decklids) lowering springs. tinted windows. That's about it I suppose.

Probably should have put this in the above post. But, more cheap mods!

Very nice. Looks like you could use some antifreeze in the ic reservoir or is it just me?

Nice looking lsj, look up the air box mod instead of a cai. You can save some cash and still listen to your blower scream (also there is a lot of data on lsj intakes somewhere in this forum)

Sorry, She is a little dirty. But, I got these done and wanted to share. I only realized after the fact that I missed the 3rd brake light. but oh well. I'll fix it later. Still wanted to share though

Again She is a little dirty, But this I thought was a better picture of the taillights.
I also pulled the car in today to do a rotate on her and found out she has a 4-1 header as well as the stage two gm kit as i mentioned before. So, that was pretty exciting.

So my ttr race mounts came in today. And, ordinarily i would have a pic of them installed on the car. however< they sent me the wrong ones. But, they are sending me another set and are allowing me to do whatever I want with the old ones. too bad they are for a cavalier. probably craigslist them. Anyway, just wanted to update you guys.

So, I'm not entirely sure about this but it looks like a gmpp exhaust, also sounds like a few I've heard.

Sounds really good. and for $60 I'm not complaining.
