Nice. I'd like to get a new hood and fender before I do that though. What part of town you live in?

HEI mod is done. Maybe later I'll add an external coil but I'm not sure if its really worth it on an otherwise stock K8. Pretty satisfied with the result my butt dyno seems to think freeway on ramps are taken a little quicker now. Next I think will be some kind of diy air intake to get rid of this ugly stock air box and cracked(and probably leaking) accordion tube.

New 2.25" exhaust just a 22" glasspack. Its loud and its raw and I love it, but then again I was raised on the sound of old beastly V8s. I can just imagine what my gf is gonna say when she rides in it the first time! Put your old muffler back on! Sorry not gonna happen.

I also scored a set of 305cc Millenia S injectors for $50 preparing for my future plans!

I may have a lead on some SE rims! But I would still like those 5 spoke GSs thanks Mooneggs. Maybe use em for winter.

Edit: Going to pick up the rims this weekend pending decent pass conditions!

Post by carizle »

So I've been quite busy lately and I'm getting married in Aug so unfortunately my project is on hold for now.

Nice car, mine has half the miles and is nowhere near as good as that. But I am curious, did you just take normal toothpaste, put it on the headlights, and buff with a rag?

Hey thanks maybe I take good picks but its a little rough in person. Anyway yeah regular toothpaste and I had a buffer to make it quicker but you can hand buff with a cloth your arm might get tired though. :mrgreen:
