When I was in HS I restored a 69 chevelle, did a full and proper color change on a honda civic, fully shaved a 96 GMC Jimmy, did a fiberglass interior on a honda civic, painted the interior of my buddy's integra, built custom fiberglass enclosures...

sheesh now that I think about it I've done a lot. I really haven't worked on cars in about 3-4 years, but installed a b&m short shifter on my G a week ago. Now I remember why I stopped doing my own work lol...

let's see if I can recall them in the order I did them. I installed all of these items by myself in my own garage using only a pair of jack stands.....


1)stillen Air box and z-tube.....piece of cake!
2)test pipes
3)NX nitrous kit
4)remote bottle opener, heater, digital pressure gauge, and nitrous control center
5)custom molded a fiberglass gauge holder for a boost gauge to fit into defroster vent.
6) tein H-tech springs.
7) spc camber arms and toe bolts
8) oil changes.
9) turbonetics Single Turbo kit (350z kit on a revup sedan.)
10) fuel injector install
11) fuel pressure gauge install
12) UTec and Tuner Wideband(installed and self-tuned)
13) return fuel system
14) MREV2 plenum and spacer
15) unistall TN turbo kit.
16) Greddy twin turbo kit
17) Speed Force Racing dual intercooler system
18) electric exhaust cutout
19) hotchkis swaybars
20) TSX projectors into sedan headlight housings.
21) mccullogh h4 bi-xenon conversion for fog/high beam
22) modded greddy RS BOVs for faster action
23) fuel pump......forgot to mention that one earlier.
24) coolant flush and refill.
25) drilled pedals
26) leather shift boot, momo shift ****, and leather P-brake cover.



thats about all I can think for now.

this has been a great car to work on, and it has provided quite a sense of accomplishment doing all this work myself. before this car, I had only ever changed my oil, swapped control arms, and changed belts on my cars. I had always lived in condos and never had a garage to play with my cars. I've always been one to tinker, but I think I have gone nuts.

Never,i am still keeping the hood and ill just tell people the s/c is still in there,its just in stealth mode and you cant hear it.

Virge

Not much...

* MREV w/ help from khoa
* Pop charger
* headlight swap
* audio equipment
* Overlays

Everything else was done by someone who knows a helluva lot more than me...

there's nothing stealthy about that hood..haha, it'd be more stealthy to use an oem hood IMO.

For those that have changed tranny&diff fluid, did you replace the washer/gasket? I know it's recommended but is it really really necessary? I'm being cheap and lazy.

Although I've gone through many many oil changes without replacing the one for the engine and was completely fine.

Done to G myself so far...

change motor oil & filter, as well as the air filter
installed splashguards
changed brembo brake pads
did a reset on the window motor(would roll up then roll half way back down)

will do soon...

tranny&diff fluid
Clutch fluid
