Im tossing over wether or not i should do a 5 speed conversion although the Auto box is in tip top condition at the moment, so im hoping to save up for a Stage 2/3 Shift Kit and I'm going to rebuild the diff with possibly 3.78 gears.

For the moment im saving up for new rotors and pads, ive got this squeaking sound coming from the rears and its really irritating lol.

so yeah i'll keep you's all updated on the progress

The Dash job was all done by me i just used the cheap 2 dollar spray paint and primer you can get from discount stores, it worked a treat! I seriously didnt expect it to turn up as good as i first thought and its still tip-top condition after 6 months =D.

$10 worth of silver and prime paint + 2 Days
