[QUOTE=L33Z71;3954785]Haha, she ain't even close to ready yet. I got out there this morning and swapped out the stock air intake, with an SLP unit, new air filter and did the free ram air mod to it. Just to show how stock it is, it still had the Original paper air filter from 1999 in it. The intake path was littered with bug guts from Brenham so I cleaned the intake path real good, cleaned out the MAF and the throttle body. Should help some. I also took off the original Ron Craft Chevrolet dealer emblem off the taillight panel and the ron craft decal in the front windshield. I wanna do the TB by-pass soon, and start looking for a set of plugs and wires and a ported TB.
Still debating on what exhaust to go with. I really like the sound of the SLP loudmouth on my truck, but not sure about the car. I kinda want to do a Mufflex 3.5" system, but wanna do a magnaflow race muffler with a single hideaway exit. Exhaust will hopefully come in the next few weeks, I've already talked to Manuel at affordable muffler about it. And I've got to get the window tint re-done soon, the stuff thats on there is in good shape, just faded like hell.
After those few things I'll probably be done for a little while.
Well your neighbor just happens to have a ported throttle body.May sell it to you when I get back home from the Bahamas run. I'll call you when I get back.
I agree AP really nice sound from those.

I'll have to swing by Charlies and get him to work some Magic on it too

Nice and quite while you are driving, but when you get on it, it is freaking loud...

I could only imagine how loud it would be without cats..

Daniel, I'd love a Corsa, but honestly, I'm trying to build on a budget. The wifey doesn't mind me modding the car, but if I start blowing 900+ on an exhaust, I may get the brakes put on real quick. Plus I really want to hide the exhaust tips, but don't want dumps.
I definetly want to do the berger panel though. Is yours flat black? I have got to do something with my headlights though quick. They are cloudy as hell and look like *****.

look for deals, I did.. I got lucky with it.. i guess, dude let it go on Tech....
Also got the LT's, and Y-pipe for almost nothing.. basically had to swap my stock exhaust for his, and do the work my self...
If you want I can do the back panel for you...
You can either go pic another one up, or let me have yours for a day, and I could get it done...
I still have everything at the house...
I dont think I could get hurt doing that... but you never know.

L33Z71 theres a 3 part epoxy you can use to clean your headlights this stuff works great used it before on my mom's vehicle cleans them like new again. http://www.mdwholesale.com/. Then go HID's with them....like an 8000k
and if you go HID's... (I did) Let me know..
I know a place you can get them for a decent price..
I have 8,000 on mine...
but would like to go to 5,000
8,000 are just to blue for me.

The Z has 8,000's on it, both fog, and headlight..
I will agree.. anything above 6500 is to blue
4500 being bright white
