* 15% Front and 5% rear tint

* Tons of shaved moldings (bowtie, lettering, door moldings)

* Turbo Kit in the workings (buying bits and pieces)

 

1992 Lumina Z34:

* 3.8L Supercharged Motor swap

* Mag Snout w/ 3.4" pulley

* ColdZ 4" intake

* 3" downpipe w/ carsound cat

* 2.5" custom Magnaflow/glasspack exhaust

I probably have the shortest list of mods for having had my car the longest!

I've had my 89 Cutty for 8-1/2 years!!!

 

All I've done to it:

Solargard 20% Metalized tint on back 3.

Sony CDX-C90 head unit.

Sony XE-8MkII EQ.

Sony CDX-828 10-CD changer.

Sony MDX-65 6-MD changer.

Blaupunkt front dash speakers.

Pioneer 4-way rear 6x9's.

2 Sherwood amps.

2 12" JL 12W1 subs in sealed box.

4GA power wire.

Autodimming compass mirror with LED map lights.

DEI Viper 800ESP alarm.

Cutlass Convertible STB.

34mm front sway bar from a GPGT.

Addco rear sway bar.

KYB rear struts.

 

8-1/2 years, that's all I've done!

BUT, I haven't had any real money till the last year, and with that money, I've blown it on a truck and another addition to the W-body stable.

 

My 90 TGP has only a couple mods too:

VFD DIC from a 90 Turbo STE

Tweaked chip - raised boost limiter to 11psi, removed speed limiter.

 

94 Cutty convertible:

No mods.

 

Penny's '88 Cutty:

JVC KD-MX3000 head unit (plays CD & MD in one HU)

Pioneer rear 6x9's

 

My 99 Silverado has a few mods (because they're so easy to get for it):

Euro clear headlights

Clear corners

Pioneer DEH-P7400MP head unit

Infinity front speakers (previous owner installed)

Compass/temp autodimming mirror.

Rear window defroster.

 

Maybe we need a new thread "who has owned their W-body the longest?"

I think I would surely be top dog in that thread. :)

:::Thats whats done so far(and what i can remember, i might be missing one or two things), the rebuild still isnt done. i still have the exhuast and brakes left to do as well as speakers.:::

 

 

*BTW, the things in metal that i painted(the engine block, lower intake, Exhaust-tip shields, Alternator bracket, Water pump pulley, engine hoist anchor point bracket, and front timing chain cover) were done with a paint from a company called Por15. The stuff bonds to metal instantly stopping/preventing rust and is scratch,peel, oil, and moisture resistant. Although the stuff is a bit of money, the stuff goes a long way and I highly recommend it to everyone.
