My car was just recently put back together - has some stuff that still needs to be done...
4 point harness, fix my TPS issue, replace the y pipe, install the cutout, fix the clutch (possibly the throwout bearing), trans fluid change
Then finally get it to emissions and then DRIVE IT!

Can't wait to see some videos of that beast.
I've got my motor ready to drop back in the car, just got to get the car ready for it. Removing A/C and condensor as well as rerouting some of the wiring. Going to open up my tranny and make sure it's what I paid for, then bolt her to the motor and drop it in. Kind of sucks only getting to work on it a few hours a week.

Lol, except you don't have to dream. You just have it. I like talking to civic guys because they say every year that they are going turbo. Next year comes and they have the same car with more aesthetic crapdone and no turbo. Now to be fair some do, but most don't. Te ones that rub me the wrong ways are the guys in the later of the group.

Broke in the car some more and did the first oil change. Nothing crazy in the oil, some metallic stuff, but that is normal.

I washed it........ For the first time in 8 months. Yes, the Trans Am. No, I am not kidding.
Hopefully have the intake on today... Exhaust by the end of the week. Then sell my Ranger and pay off some debt/buy my new rims!
Fix the windshield (has a crack), CETA mod, re-tint the windows in 5%, install LED smoked 3rd brake light, adding blackbird stripes (still on the fence), install my Chrs1313 ram air, install my catch can, finish painting my valve covers, install my relay for HIDs, buy LEDs for interior lighting.
I'm sure there is more but that is the top of the list of things happening... In the next month my car is about to over come a LOT of changes!!

I finally got around to deciding what I wanted to do so I'm getting it back together and where I want it to be for now.
Sad part.... It was a quick wash/inside cleaning.... The interior is spotless of course but the exterior probably is cleaner than most peoples car on here.
Perfectionist FTL! Needs a good 8 hour exterior detail. Clay bar to Wax, underside, engine bay is still clean but I'll do it anyway.
