Decided to do a thread to update what I will be doing to my car. My plans as of right now are to do a 99 conversion with 02 headlights and retrofit some projectors in them. I still don't know what color it will be as I'm debating between red, black, or white. A carbon fiber hood will find its way to the car and possibly a roof rack. For wheels I plan on either the Enkei EV5's or Enkei RPF1's. Engine wise, again undecided, will probably be HO cams, HO intake mani, and maybe some spray or Eco swap it and M62 it. I don't want a race car or anything like that, just a fun daily driver with a little bit of go to it. Well on to some pics.
The day I got it.
I took the 19's off a few weeks after I got it and installed the stock 02 Z24's that I painted black.
Car was bone stock when I got it besides the fart can, then ordered an ebay intake
disregard that rubber thing i put on the pipe lol never realized i had it installed wrong
B&M short throw later on
got some stock tails and a solar wing installed and put back on the 19s
had a small over heating problem and had to do some head work so I took advantage and had my secret cams installed, msd setup, ported head, 4-1 header and full exhaust
got some grand am gt seats and istalled those as well
got an lss front lip and some ls wheels and sprayed them black as well
early this year i bought a turbo setup but parted with it since i wasn't sure if i was gonna do it or not
then some spacers from jeffie
got some 95-99 Z24 wheels that i sprayed bronze
then a couple days ago i did this
removed my tan interion and got some graphite interior but that changed last night lol and decided to spray it black
and i have this waiting to go on
i should have it sprayed and installed this week if i find time between a full time job and full time school
lss wheels and 95-99 Z24 front and rear plus new Z24 skirts
She looks good man, nice and clean!
Thanks man, I try and keep it simple

yo you still have those black altezza taillights? and that thing is clean as hell for most of it being stock, you got me interested in how she turns out once its done, oh yeah do those Grand Am seats bolt right in?
Skr8 Goodz in tha hood
Back from the dead lol I started getting some more problems with my LD9; water pump started leaking, some oil leaks, and some other small problems. I found an eco at a very good price that i couldn't pass up so I got it. I started piecing together my parts for the swap and it should be done in the next few weeks. I got all new gaskets and accessories for it.
I ordered some comp cams n/a stage 1 today but they are out of stock for about 2 weeks or so. With that said I'm thinking of getting some patriot gold dual springs to go with the cams as well as some lsj injectors and an le5 intake mani. Any input on these cams or what I could do to the eco right now that its not in the car would be greatly appreciated, thanks!

I have LSJ inj I cant use *cough cough*, anyways sorry to hear your going to the eco
but I would of just looked for another LD9 and put her in you had a beautiful engine bay
"As I lay rubber down the street, I pray for traction I can keep, but if I spin and begin to slide, please dear God protect my ride." -Amen
No boost for me anytime soon lol I figured id give the eco a try and give it a lil more pep with the comp cams and I gotta keep it reliable since its my daily for school and work
Pm me about those injectors
lol
I'd love some more info on that rear window spoiler, pm me!
