joh408's transformation thread
I blame jake for telling me way back when that the lightning was wrap around
. I dont know anyone with a lightning so I usually dont go check out their dashes when I see them
I hate this forum. SO much AWESOME stuff and I have so little money. Gonna have to save up over time unless I come across about 12 grand for everything I want haha. Its not gonna happen but I can dream, can't I?
I'll be done modding for the school year but come next summer, hopefully I will have enough to do some changes that I need to get done, well maybe not need but want. I'll still be lurking around on the forums, trying to help out and get ideas. Everyone on this forum is amazingly helpful. I'd just like to say thank you 
Starting a list for next summer:
1. Exhaust system
-Pacesetter Longtube Headers
-True dual Dynomax Bullets or Magnapacks
-Magnaflow SS Tips 3.5"x18"
2. More Black!
-Powdercoat chrome bumpers and step bars
-Paint or vinyl (again) rockers
3. Tint
-20% on fronts
-35% on windshield w/ 5% brow
4. Little stuff
-Paint back window trim
-Paint frame
-Paint dash
5. Gears
-4.88 or 4.56 in the rear
That's it for now, if I can get more funds then:
5. Sound system
-2 SI BM MKIII in custom box under rear seat
-New subwoofer amp (don't know which yet)
-New wiring
-Amp for component speakers

Haha the actual list is a lot longer but I'm trying to keep it reasonable. I definitely forgot to put gears on the list but I'm putting 4.88 or 4.56 in the rear so if/when I go bigger/faster I am set. Its only got 93,4xx on it and with me being at school, it'll prob take a few years to even hit 100,xxx so I am planning on keeping my baby for a long time even if I get a different car (maybe a foxbody mustang or a 01-03 cobra, of course with a lot of mods as I won't keep a car/truck stock since I have caught the mod bug)
BTW, b2therad, you have my ideal set up. I think I'm going to wait a couple summers to get a procharger but that is for sure on my list but in the future. I think I'm just going to upgrade my crossmember set up with a BL and maybe a coil spacer with lift shackles for the rear so I can run 37s or even 38s. I need a bigger garage though as my parents house has 7' garages and I'm about a little over 1 inch from the top so no go right now hence why my list doesn't include all of that stuff.
