Newest mods installed.. pics.. Well its been a couple of weeks so i had to play catch-up on the mod a week thing <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> -- Yesterday we installed my BMR relocation brackets and boxed upper pan-hard rod (red).. we also changed out the gear oil (love that TA cover) from the recent gear change. You can also see the new Edelbrock torque arm installed (look for the E)..

Sorry for the stain on the I pipe but I still have a problem with the rear puking out of the vent tube.. guess I need a longer extension..
Its official.. I started ripping apart the SS today for the installs.. should be down for about two months while I do the cam, springs, intake, oil pump, chain, 30# injectors, Qtec, shift light, etc.. Im also going to be powder painting, polishing and plating a bunch of stuff.. Oh, and a few "special" things are planned.. Im gonna miss driving it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="gr_sad.gif" />
Should be worth it in the end though <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

Re: Newest mods installed.. pics.. Your not making it any easier for me to catch up to you in mods! lol. Just kidding, but I did order quite a few things recently... and you guys said my Z28 looked as good as it stands now <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> .
OEM SS Hood, OEM SS spoiler, BMR relocation brackets, lower control arms, STB, adj panhard, Alpine type-R, MTX 6500D amp... and then theirs the few other small things (chrome caps).
Oh, BTW good luck on the engine work.

Re: Newest mods installed.. pics.. Steve, your car looks damn sexy!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />
Corona? Is that down south of CA? I'm in the bay area and love to mod my T/A like your SS. Do you employ or need help? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
Funds and a girlfriend restrict me on having toys bought for my car. In the end I hope I can afford more goodies in the future!

Re: Newest mods installed.. pics.. I wish one day I could have my car even 1/4 as nice as yours, Steve. Your car is awesome. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" /> I guess my one mod a year is a little off the pace <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
