I like the above format...
1989 Nissan 240SX (sold)
- Not going to touch all of the repairs to the KA, horrible times that I just want to put behind me.
- Pulled/Dropped SR20DET
- Wiring for said SR20DET
- Exhaust components (Manifold, exhaust, etc.)
- Intake components (Intake, FMIC, Turbo, Lines for said turbo)
- Body (Bumpers, fenders, headlights, tailights, minor body work)
- Electrical (Audio, Turbo timers, Piggyback ECUs, wiring harnesses, gauges, anything electrical really)
- Gauge cluster modification
- Brake/suspension (300ZX brake upgrade, LSD swap + axles, coilover suspension, misc upper and lower arms, etc)
- Regular Maint. (tranny,diff, engine oils and coolants, brakes, part replacement)
2003.5 Mazdaspeed Protege (didn't have this one long)
- HID conversion
- Intake
- Turbo Timer
- Rear Sway bar bushings
- boost/oil pres. gauges
- Piller mount prep/paint/install
- Regular Maint. (tranny,diff, engine oils and coolants, brakes, part replacement)
2003 Nissan 350Z
- Test Pipes
- Y-pipe
- Intake (panel filter, Z-tube, carbon intake pipe)
- Plenum Spacer

1989 Honda Civic (didn't keep long either)
