Hi, greetings everyone! My name is Xavier (like Dr. Xavier form X-men) from Jamaica.
This is my 2G. I have only just had it handed over to me from my Aunt who has had it for as long as I can remember, but has hardly driven it. It's been parked for 2 1/2 years, to date.
I have joined this forum to, not only be a part of the family, but also to seek help and information from the 2G Yodas out there!
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The plan is to get it running as a daily driver.
Immediate Plans are:
- Clean up, both interior and exterior.
- Full maintenance and service.
Later Plans:
- OEM front bumper, side skirts and tail lights (have to do some research on this as I live in the Caribbean, so shipping them here is a huge PITA).
- Remove Magnaflow "fart cannon".
Current Problems:
- A belt got shredded when I fired it up last time. I figure it's because it has been parked for such a long time, the belts have dried and cracked. This makes me worry about the timing belt also. I would like to source a belt kit for the 420a (if that exists). If there is such a thing - belt kit for the 420a - would someone be kind enough to direct me on how to purchase that? Thank you.
Current Modifications:
- AEM CAI w/ K&N filter. This will stay.
- Magnaflow Performance Exhaust Pan. Will be removed and sold to fund purchase of something quieter.
- 17" Konig Rims, I care nothing about so I don't know the specs. Keen on finding a set of EVO VIII 17" wheels to replace these.
- The "body-kit", which I can tolerate some days but hate on others. This will go, but only if I can find, purchase and have shipped, a set of OEM side skirts and an OEM bumper.
- The awful tail lights, on the other hand, I hate. Even more on a daily basis. these will go, if I can have a set of OEM ones. If not, I'll open them up and spray the inner shrouding (or whatever) in black and then the lens in that transparent red candy paint type deal.
Other Miscellaneous Things I Need:
- Driver's side, rear mud flap/guard. Just might remove the right one and see if I like deleting things.
- Passenger side door pull. I need that more than want.
- Trunk shocks. They died some time ago.
Thanks for looking. I need your opinion and assistance.
