My name is Aaron and I am an addict

I sat down at work and added up all of the stuff that I have bought for my truck since I have been in Japan. I was only figuring around 7 to 8 thousand dollars. I was way off. Here is a list I have compiled so far. Not too shabby.

Built long block with Crower Stage II cams.
Canton Street/Strip oil pan w/windage tray
Kooks long tube headers
REM stainless catback
Reichard Racing 2.75" upper pulley
PSP 6# lower
Mezier electric water pump
Electric fan kit
JDM heat exchanger
3 7.5" Spal fans
Billet Flow throttle body
Metco Idler kit w/Billet Flow idler pulleys
JDM phenolic spacer
Mr Alernator 200 amp alternator
Zex wet kit 75-125
PSP nitrous plate
JLP Supercooler

Now for bling items:
Boyd Coddington Smoothie IIs 20X10s
Kumho Ecsta tires
Sir Michaels roll pan w/end caps
Street Scenes smooth wiper cowl
Street Scenes signal mirrors
Street Scenes smooth bed/tailgate caps
Bermuda Black tail lights

I am sure I have left something out but that is the majority of it. My baby is sure gonna have one hell of a Christmas this year.

The big question is...why are you sitting on your computer and not on you way to JDM to pick your truck up?

BTW Aaron...we are all junkies here...

Yep, I'm Whip+ on there cause some Whip-wanna-be stole my name over there

Your right, they are never finished! The way I look at it is, the more I mod my L the less street friendly she becomes. With a Cobra, its all about detail and making it better. I am in the process of rebuilding a mild 302 with a Victor jr and Holley 650. This combo is ONLY to get the beast rolling! I will eventually go with a 351W with a mild stroke, monsterous heads/cam/compression/redline, and shoot for an eleven second Cobra, which shouldn't be too hard since they weigh in at just over 2000 lbs!!!!!! Once the power is done, I will move on to creature comforts, downforce, auto-x ability, uniqueness, and just making a real blast to drive car!!!!!

Oh, and she might get a blast of giggle gas!!!!
