The Sunflower...
Sunday, October 07, 2012 7:27 PM
Im going to try to keep this up with updates about my car. as of now im jobless so it may be a little slow for some time

Here is the Flower when i got it.


That stock engine bay, after some cleaning when i got home.


And the inside


So the first thing i looked into was a wing delete, havent done it yet but it will be soon enough .


With the wing delete where i live i need a third brake light. so i bought a rear shelf that had the raise for the brake light from a local pull a part. but then i saw one in a 4-door that didn't have the baby anchors in the back. so i got it to and found out that its to big..... so i ripped the carpet off both and put the flat carpet on the 2nd shelf board i got.



Also i have a strut bar and a cold air intake (AEM) pictures will be up soon

And for my birthday that's coming up i got my front bumper fixed

So i decided to paint match my valve cover and it looks good

And that's all i got right now. and to think all of that done by me (except the bumper) before i even turn 16 but what to do next??? looking at getting come Camaro seats very soon. Then go from there.

I really like the direction you're heading in. Simple and clean. Props on getting the front bumpe re-painted. It's always best to fix anything that needs fixing before moving on to any mods. My suggestions for what should be next would be some nice 17" wheels (Please please please get wheels that have an offset as close to +45 as possible. Nothing ruins a car more than wheels that stick out because they're the wrong offset.) and tires (225/45/17), a slight drop (i.e. KYB AGX shocks and struts & Eibach Pro Kit springs) and tinted windows. I see you mentioned color matching the door handles and mirrors in your registry, again great ideas. Keep it up !

P.S. I love your Car Domain username... J-Brody!

ummm went to a local Walmart running 3 on the fronts and 4 on the backs, going to send the fronts to 2 and get a alignment and il get back with ya. so far so good. and get back with me on the other stuff you have i might be interested.


Re: The Sunflower...

Yeah i usually went with 2 on front and 5 or so on rear unless i was racing. The only reason I changed setups was for more fine tuning for the track. The AGX's treated me well though.

I have a lightweight flywheel and an eco turbo manifold for sale in the classifieds.
