From the beginning

[Perkins9250]

I am still new to the DSM world but I am picking things up along the way and have big plans for what is to come.

This was the night I brought it home after selling my '82 Short Box Chevy.

First thing to change was the exhaust, I didn't like the quite after having a loud as hell truck.

Couldn't stand the stock seat look so I invested $16 bucks in some seat covers. Still looking into finding some black and red race seats, but until then these will be a good hold up.

Next to come was a little "rice," my car is heading for the show car class when I get more time to actually invest in parts.

Went to the track with my bone stock Gs Spyder to see what it was capable of doing.
This being the result:

Couldn't be too disappointed I guess it was my best time of the night. There was a big turn out after all.

After getting back I put my nose back into the appearence of the car. Found some rims and tires for cheap, liked the look of them.

After a month or so I decided it was time to get back to the track, liked the thrill of being with all the high powered cars.

Crappy thing was this was the best run of the night and was worse than the stock run.

Then I got to buisness and really put myself to work with the appearence of my car.

I still have lots to do, but have done the little stuff that was cheap and still made a big difference.

whats with the switch?

 

[97gst_spyder]

I'm going to say for the undercar lights...?

 

[Perkins9250]

Yeah, it is for the underglow. Soon I will have wired another set of lights to the same switch for the inside.

Well it looked good to start... I would recommend paying some money to get REAL seats. If you got Black Leather seats from a 99, that car would look sick. Those seat covers make me wanna . Another thing I would HIGHLY recommend is painting that center piece in the tail red to match the car.

 

[Itsok]

too much red for my fancy

Yeah, I hate those seat covers as well but I hate the look of the stock seats even more. As for painting the center piece, I might but for right now I am just gonna leave it as is.

To each his own, can't expect everyone to like what you have done.

Painted trim, FTL

Those seats are EPIC

I would put you stock lights back on.

Stock lights are a no, I am doing a lot of carbon fiber work to the car this winter so it won't look so off. As for the center piece it will most likely be painted to match the car, and the car goes off for paint touch up as well. As for the seat covers, I hate the damn things just no luck with finding any that work yet.

 

[Spoolin18]

I guess those who can't go fast always have rice!, but no serious dude, car looks great, keep it up and don't listen to all the negative hoopla.

Thanks man, I am trying to do some new rims on there as well I am not liking the 5 spoke look anymore. Trying to find some multi spoke rims.

If you want to loose the black rims, hit me up. I might be interested for the right price.

you do know that is fake carbon, its just a paint scheme.

Yes, I do know that. I wasn't saying that it was real by any means.

Wow... face palm.

Where did you get that auto shift part from?

 

[Dsmj89]

Deff not my cup of tea but to each it's own... It's your car after all.

 

[projecteclipse2]

19 second quarter mile isnt something you want to put on here

Well if you would like to make an offer feel free.

 

[Perkins9250]

I got the shifter knob from Checkers if I remember right.

Wait you ran a 19.2 & 19.5 WTF. I'm pretty sure my buddies Auto 99 GS with a Cold Air intake ran a 16.5.

With the numbers you posted, my beater 1.8L 1998 Toyota Corolla would leave your ride in the dust

Since your car is an automatic you cannot miss shifts, so I think you might have some serious problems like terrible compression or a slipping tranny.
