I saw you're looking at Unorthodox Racing for pulleys, you may want to check out NonStop Tuning for theirs. It's cheaper than UR and seems to still have good results.

My next mod... confirmation today from the wife that my Xmas (and Birthday) considerations can be fully met with $700 (ish) spent on a pair of resonated high-flow cats. I tried to explain them to her, but her eyes just glazed over, and she stopped me after explaining things like cell-count, rasp, and J-bung connectors for the O2 sensors. (LOL)
The important thing here is it's a go for end-of-month. Installation in the Spring.
DOMO
Happy dance!

Haha, nope. Not me. I'll be bringing them to my mechanic. Haven't seen him since earlier in the year, when he installed the sways. He's a really good guy, and a truly skilled mechanic.
The only crawling under my car that I'll do is changing my own oil. And that's it. Truth is, it freaks me out a little having the car over me like that.

I'm never doing it again. Not without a proper lift.

LOL@myself sometimes.
Either way, it's still fun making long (
) term mod plans, and rearranging them based on things you learn along the way. I'm only 2 years into the car, and I started this thread when I bought it. Sure would be fun if it were still alive with progress 5 years from now.

Sounds like a Merry Christmas, especially since you won't be the one tackling those hell-bolts. Wonder how many pages this thread will have when you've completed the "final -mod". I'm guessing the over/under would be about 75 pages. Hopefully most of us are still around the site to see it to its' fruition.

Coolant Overflow Bin Cap
ZeeToyz Coolant Bin Cap, purchased second-hand from ZOSTER33 after he upgraded to a full SS bin. And honestly, I'm kind of on the fence with this little bit of bling. It's noticeably taller than the black cap, and the sculpted side seems completely gratuitous. Although I suppose everything we do here on this forum is completely gratuitous. LOL
IDK... maybe it will grow on me. If not, then I can certainly sell it here for what I paid. Zoster33 was very fair.

The fender washers on the rubber wrap-around (not in that pic) are black because of the black rubber/plastic. Those look great. Ditto for the 3 fender washers on the engine cover. (With stainless steel acorn nuts & titanium washers for the lower engine cover bolts.)
And the two fender washers on the overflow bin are gun-metal, because of the white plastic. Seemed right to me.
No. Not this time.

) are you going to replace the entire overflow tank at some point?I like the washers, I just picked up some neochrome but I'm not sure if I will like them.

I don't think so. At least, not in full SS. If I ever do something with the tank itself, it would be to paint it. I've gotten real close to painting it a number of times, but then blnewt went and plastidipped his... after which I was able to push that urge way down deep where I barely see it anymore. (Sorry, Brad.)
