Well I just finished a long summer of upgrades to the daily driver. Here are some of the things I accomplished.

-ATX to 3.55 MTX swap with 2.4L PT Clutch and Booger bushings
-Eibach Sportline lowering springs
-DEPO headlights, fog lights, turn signals
-SWEET new MSU license plate















The reason the surfboard is missing is because the mounting bolts stripped the threads in the spoiler. If I have time (before I move back to school) I'll fill the holes and re-attach the wing.

Some of these pictures came out really well. I love my new camera

Edit

Here are a few more cool shots with an overcast sky:

Looks great! I have always loved the look of your alpine green car. The stripes really go great with that color.

I just got done doing a atx->3.55 in my new 4 door daily driver as well.
Yours looks a ton nicer though, I always thought alpine green was a great color.

Looks good.

What I'd do if it was mine (and I know its not):

- remove stripes.

- remove mudguards

- do something with the exhaust so it doesn't look like its hanging low - i know this is tough cause I have that exhaust. An aftermarket bumper does wonders, but that opens the door to really changing the look of the car.

That being said - VERY NICE CAR.

dude keep the wing of and take the mudflapers of. thats one sexy car...

Damn you have a first gen with a working stock sunroof. Thats rare for sure. haha

Loving the SSR's as well.

Thanks for the comments.

Heh...yeah when I bought the car from Komail (another member here), the sunroof didn't work. I had to replace the left track to get it to work.

super nice, i love the wheels and the stance for shizzell

Very Nice Rims!! what size are those? And what brand and model are they??

Very nice, I had a daily driver just like this and hated the color but yours is clean! Loving the rims, what kind are they? Keep it wingless, looks great! Only complaint is how low the exhaust tips hang. I'd like to see 1/2 cutouts for them in the bumper.

real nice car, i had one done very similar, loose the mud flaps though.

nice

very clean look i like

Nooo, leave it wingless!! Looks NICE! I really like those wheels, exhaust is a little crooked, but still thats a very nice DD. It's my left track thats screwed up in mine, I thought you had to replace the whole assembly, didn't know you could do one track. My right side track is fine, but the other one is crap.

DUDE!!!!!!leave it wingless fill the holes on the trunk lid find an MP fiberglass lip paint to match the car be done with the outside .....start on the motor. oh yea take off the mud flaps

only thing i dont like is the exhaust, sits weird

dont like the exhaust at all, the rest is fine.

yyea ive always hated vibrants cause they sit crooked

I second that.

Great DD.

Always liked that color when it still intact and good.
Clean ride man.

You need a center grill put back in though.

IMO i'd also put stock side markers back on and paint the door handles to match and git rid of those chrome washer spray nozzles.
A small amount of tint would also set this ride off really well.

Super clean, I've always admired your DD. I really love that color and the stripes go well with it. I think it would look good if you put the stock surfboard on (especially since it has stripes - I hate when people de-wing an R/T but leave the stripes on...it just looks so awkward). The only thing I see that it really needs is to have the muffler re-hung so it sits underneath the bumper. I had a Vibrant on mine before and after my WW body kit. Up until I had the kit, I didn't think the muffler looked too bad, but after putting the kit on, it looked sooooo much better with those tips underneath the rear skirt. Now I really don't like how the Vibrant looks with a stock rear bumper. Anyhow, at least fix it so it doesn't hang so low. Otherwise, it looks really good. I agree about painting the door handles and putting the center grille piece back in.

change up the exhaust, and it'll be great [imo] - always have been a fan of the 1-pipe for small engines.

Hey now!

Looks good! nice and clean

I hated this color when it first came out, but now I think it is one of my favorites!
Yours is fricken SWEET.! Love the R/T stripes and wheels.

Sorry, that's just how I feel! Other than missing the spoiler, your R/T looks very nice...

great job John! you better go to some MSUracing meets this year.

Sorry to bump up an old post...But nice work John, you made my old little green machine awesome...wanna sell it back to me

your car is the reason why i'm considering silver r/t stripes.

very unique and clean, though there are a few things that could be fixed up. in my opinion, ditch the exhaust in favour of something more low key. a nice single exit a/m s/s exhaust would do the trick.

looks good keep the mudflaps looks better with them... and dont put the wing back on ..... nice looking car love the green

i want those SSR's...really bad.

Sexy car. Found the posting cause I was lookin for neons with the Sportline's cause I want to drop my car an d@mn does it look nice. Where could I find a exhaust like that?

that's the vibrant exhaust that modern performance sells.

used to sell. Its no longer in production. You have to buy them used now, unless you rig the 2nd gen to work with a 1st
