So what else do you have planned for her ?

Need to fix the A/C and then drive it! Also I need to hook up the NX nitrous kit again and play with it. Then probably a trip to the dyno

More progress on the exhaust. I couldn't find anyone selling a 2.5" piece like this cheao. Magnaflow or some other had one for ober $100. So I wnet and tried to build one. Thanks to my cheap HarborFreight big circular pipe saw it was not that hard. Measure a lot and then cut once

Now two straight pipes and two 90° bends is all that is needed to finish this.

So here is the finished exhaust (thanks to Lou!!!). Is 2.5" all the way from the header flange pipe down. I reused the stock tips because I really like them. It is more on the quiet side running but at idle has a deeper rumble. Definitely happy with it. I need to paint it black so it blends as it is running a little lower than the stock. This car is finished now (if you can anytime say that

) and the only thing I need to fix is the A/C and connect the nitrous system. Later on it will need paint but that is out of budget now and I like driving and parking it without worries of rocks or parking lot rash. Thanks to all the members here that contributed with hard to find parts (Clem, Dean, etc.) to bring this back to life after 4 years. Never imagine it was going to be this hard (plus my bad luck).
