MODIFICATIONS
Engine:- unknown mods added prior to purchase inside engine. 4 into 2 into 1 header
- straight back exhaust
- no muffler
- unknown if cat is functional
- cold air intake
- battery terminals are jankety
- new water pump and IAC valve. for some reason it runs great on plus grade gas but liek butt on regular. havent had a chance to put premium in it yet to see if it does anything. there is something looking like a giant pill with what looks like a phone wire coming out and splicing into some wires. in the "pill" is a hard waxy substance with something embedded in it. also there is a throttle position sensor box under the dash that lights up in a bar when i push on the gas pedal(not a clue what its for) also there are wires running everywhere that i plan on replacing with a new cleaned up harness
- this car has more power than my truck and has a backseat and working A/C so i like it. goin to replace trans pan and get harness replaced.
Suspension/Wheels/Brakes:- lowered prior to purchase but not sure if they used lowered coils or they cut the originals
- cant tell bc they are painted black and the car was dirty when i looked. it has a set of 15" steelies from a newer cavi. plan on gettin rims but havent found right ones. needs tie rod ends replaced(in the next month)
Interior:- needs tach and new dash panel. needs some pieces repainted and going to paint some accent pieces red with base color black. looking for new rear seat 60/40 split or toyota cavi seat to change the rear folder. also want to tint the windows but dont know how.
Exterior:- multiple scratches. chips in paint where GF decided to use my bowie knife to chop away at half inch thick layer of ice over whole car. dents on fender and deep scratch on door and old stickers ripped off. plan on doin body work and painting back to black possibly flattened clearcoat.
Audio:- mostly stock but added extra lightning audio rears to rear deck. holes cut prior for speaker let 6x9 drop in instead of mounting from underneath. waiting on stereo due to neighborhood problems and going to add a single 12" sub for a little thump until its no longer a daily driver.
Miscellaneous:- really rough ride so i think it was a cut coil job and body was dented prior to purchase. mods done prior to purchase were done to make car into a "racecar" and stuff put back in to sell it. gets decent mileage but no clue what motor work was done.
Future:- smooth body
