    - If you're happy to live without A/C... remove the condensor and compressor...
    - If you can solder wires well enough, relocate your coil pack and DFI module... (suggestion maybe the passenger side firewall??)
    - relocate the battery to the boot with a battery reloction kit (Mount it SECURELY in a vented battery box)
    - if you can get brake lines made up (Solid tubing type) you can move your ABS module to a similar location as where the DFI module could go? (May require engineering approval as you're playing with brakes???)
    - remove the plastic engine cover, cut the 4x threaded studs off the top of the plenum and polish the whole plenum/lid assembly
    - swap over the shitty looking plastic ducting that goes from the throttle body to the MAF and then to the airbox for some nice looking silicone hosing
    - install a strut brace (Aesthetic and better for handling... as ive heard the VS commodore's strut towers can move a bit in hard cornering)
    - get a chrome pulley kit (Water pump, harmonic balancer, alternator, etc)
    - chrome rocker covers
    - maybe re-plumb your power steering reservor to a different location away from the radiator... and a different reservor... polished alloy?


    Thats all i can come up with for now.... should get your creative juices flowing....

    Cheers i had already removed the plastic engine cover. so far i heve relocated and changed the coolant reservoir which looks much better, I also want to put on chrome pulleys and rocker covers just having trouble finding them. also would like to relocate a few things but i am a no hoper with anything electriacal especially soldering, so i might get an auto spark to do that work and ill stick to the mechanics something i have no trouble with haha... Also strut braces where can you find them ??? Thanks a heap for the help and ideas
