Progress as of 9/29/08
It was a crappy rainy weekend, so I didn't get as much
done as I would of liked. but I did manage to get a few things done
between showers. I installed the remote start, even though it wasn't the
one I thought it was. I thought it was a remote start/keyless entry unit,
but it was just a remote start, so I got a keyless entry off of ebay this
weekend for $20. I'll add it to the remote start as soon as it
arrives. shouldn't be a big deal. I also installed the Nite-lite
automatic headlight kit, only to find out the unit was defective and caused the
lights to stay on all the time, so it needed to be removed. I'll get a new
one soon, now that its wired I just need to plug in the brain. Not much I
can show you here so there are no pictures, sorry.
I also wired up my dual corner, and its a good thing too
because I noticed that the parking lights in the headlights weren't
working. I'm not sure if I'm gonna fix the factory parking lights or just
use the modified corners, we'll see what happens
And last but not least, today I finished up the last wheel, so
now they just need to be installed.
It sucks after all that hard work to just have them the way they came from the
factory, but I didn't feel like gunmetal was a good color to go with white so it
had to be done. Tomorrow I'm gonna stop at the auto parts store and pick
up some chrome valve stems for the finishing touch. I hope to have the
wheels on the car by the end of the week (if weather and time allow)
Progress as of 10/2/08
WHEELS FINALLY INSTALLED
well I finally have the wheels all done and I had
enough time today to install them. I had to use a 7mm spacer in the rear
so they would clear the spring seat, but they fit. upon further inspection
of the old wheels and tires, they were in pretty bad shape so I'm glad to have
them off the car
This weekend I'm hoping to get the fog lights, radio and speakers installed,
and hopefully the weather will be good so I can red out the tails and install
the tint.
Progress as of 10/4/08
more progress today, I installed my Sirius satellite
radio. Now I can really drive the car, I don't have to worry about missing
Howard Stern on my way to work 
.
I also installed the new front speakers, but the adapters I got didn't fit
so I had to do a ghetto rig
I dremalled out the current speaker baffle and fit the speakers in, then I put
some duct tape on to fill the space left. I'll probably get the right
adapters, but for now it works fine. The car only had rear working
speakers before so its a definite improvement.
I also redded out the tails, so no more ugly amber
Progress as of 10/9/08
I picked up a bunch of maintenance parts. Rear
brake pads and rotors, spark plugs, cap and rotor, windshield wipers, and fuel
filter. so I'll spend a good part of this weekend getting the car ready
for winter. I also got the Nissan Altima radio so I'll install that.
and I got some hangers for the exhaust, so hopefully I can stop it from
banging. Maybe I'll give the tint job another shot too.
Progress as of 10/12/08
This weekend I got alot of eminence stuff done on the
car. I replaced the rear rotors and pads which it desperately
needed. I also changed the cap and rotor which also looked pretty
bad. The exhaust had no hangers left except for on the muffler, so I got a
universal hanger and clamp from the auto parts store and added that to the
middle of the exhaust.
With all the important stuff finished, it was time to add some fun stuff.
I put my fog lights in and wired them up to the factory switch
And since I couldn't remove the ugly pin stripes, I had to go over them with
something a little less pink. so plain black it was
I also tried to install the pre-cut window tint I got off of ebay, but it
didn't come out so great so the only windows that are tinted are the 2 small
windows on the passenger door. you can see it on the picture above.
I might try again, but I don't have access to a garage so it will probably keep
coming out crappy until. I do it in the right environment.
