89 RS
Never really posted my progress on my white 89 RS. Thought it was time I show more involvement on the site.
Rundown of mods-
KYB shocks/struts
Spohn - swaybars, LCAs, Panhard bar
Hotchkis lowering springs
Moog components
TDS Wonderbar
Edelbrock strut tower brace
SSBC Brakes
SLP ZR1 wheels
BFGoodrich Tires
Rebuilt 700R4 with TransGo shiftkit and upgraded internals to handle up to 500 hp
MSD ignition box and components
Ed Wright Automotive reprogrammed chip
160 degree thermostat
Flowmaster exhaust
March underdrive pullies
K&N filters
Repainted couple years ago
Replaced all emblems, front turn signals(get hazy looking after years), replaced RS grille with Z28 grille
Tinted windows
Procar Seats
Grant steering wheel, leather gear shifter, replaced interior switches
Replaced weatherstripping
Replaced windshield (rock chips, etc. after 20yrs)
Still have plenty to do, as these cars are never done. Will eventually replace engine. Undecided if I want to put any money into the engine right now, when I can save that for a future engine. Also want to get tubular control arms installed shortly. Plan on switching to Eibach springs to get a little bit lower, not sure if I'm completely happy with current stance. Hotchkis springs perform great, but I think I need to go lower for more aggressive stance and switch to adjustable shocks/struts also.
