That would looks sweet. The white on the engine bay is so damn clean, I think the intake plaque would tie it together well!

If you fire her up, get some video on here. I see the headers...what is the rest of the exhaust again?

The rest of the exhaust is a BBK catted x pipe to MAC dumps for now. I plan on having tailpipes welded on eventually. I was thinking like flowmaster 3" pipes

I had 3" flowmaster tips but sold them. I love their look, just need to be stainless past where you can see behind the wheel.

That will sound really good. Get the tails when you can. My 91 notch sounds okay dumped over the axle, but tails would sound better on my car. Stock headers, MAC H-pipe, MAC catback dumped over axle.

To be honest I got lazy and didnt want to go through the effort to toss them on. I had them dumped and just lived with that. Not only that but I might just have some custom tailpipes made, very similar to those only polished all the way back .

Unfortunately i need tailpipes to take it through smog inspection. I loved the look of those tailpipes its a shame they are 300 bucks

I think the tires are way too wide to be leaving any rubber anywhere!!!

You'll be able to turn 285's with a stick for sure! Maybe not as easy with 2.73's but when you go 3.73 you will!!!

I have 3.73's in a box, they will go in some day but since i don't have the tools or means to install them, they are in a box for now. I'll install em one day though once she's all up and running..


Let me tell you guys, the closer i get to turning the key, the more nervous i'm getting. Think she'll fire up? or will I be screwed chasing reasons for her to not fire..

I think it should... it's not like your blindly going into it, you know your way around the car enough that unless you miss something obvious it shouldnt have an issue!

But does it have the special uber cool blue interior too?

1990, Yours is the first time I saw a blue interior and went "Yeah, that works just fine"
I know its all stock, mabey its just cause its so clean, but I never liked the blue interior. It just seems to look right in yours. Did they make the high backs in blue?
