Carter's Project

[carter]

Next on the list to do is,
New trim clips & two way tape
Take off clear corners and go back to oem amber's
Passenger Windshield Wiper
Buy Slotted & Drilled Rotor's, Paint calipers and install my SS brake lines

Then hopefully here soon, I'll have free money and i'll be able to start orderin lip spoilers and whale tail & lowering suspension. I know everybody likes to do performance first, but i'd rather have my car ready to paint, then finish up on performance. Not sayin that I'm not gonna take care of what breaks or goes wrong, but I'd love to wake up and peek out the window and stare at my car for a minute and say "damn! I need to find somewhere to go today" lol

[Update]
So its been a really long time since I updated this thread, I finally job and I should be able to start directing money into my project. I've had a little bit to think things over, and really I'd like to do as much as i want with as little money as i got. I believe whats mostly gonna happen is I'm gonna end up dropping it and throwing my a nice set of wheels on it, until I have the money to finish my mod list. But here's the fun part, I'm going back and forth with a 7m or 2j-naT. Realistically my 7m is almost done being rebuilt, I'm not going for any major horsepower, just something nasty on the street (500rwhp or less) because around here, thats all i really need. My goal is to get her back on the road, since she's been down so long. But I'll show you guys what I'm hoping to have done, once I gather the money.

[Ideal Mod List]
3" ARC Induction box or Custom *whichever comes first*
3" Cooleze According hose or similar
3" Turbo Elow
CxRacing T61
Port & Polished Head
Reground 264 cams or BC 264s
Lightened Flywheel & a stronger clutch
1pc Driveshaft

Matched up with a Greddy Blue EMS, or Maft Pro Speed density, I'm really not that sure on the Aftermarket ecu's because I wanted to stay remotely stockish with maybe piggybacks. This is the part I'm really not to sure about. The Mod list I have, I could deff see 400rwhp no problem with the right tuning and bigger injectors but its all still kinda up in the air and with my budget being the way it is, we'll see what happens but I'm interested in your guys options.

Anyway here's what I got so far,

These are somewhat old pictures because I wanted to post when I had a lot of pictures, that way I could take you guys along for the ride with me:icon_bigg. But after thinking about it, I didn't really take alot of pictures and I'm still in the mists of putting her back together, so there is more too come. Its just been a while since I updated this and it was bothering me.

But I will show you guys a sneek peak, its nothing major and there's still painting and cleaning that has to be done but I really liked this color, so i figured i'd show you guys, cuz your my buddies:biglaugh:

And before someone jumps on me about prep work, these where the testers. I actually just wanted to see what they looked like because I was gonna paint them blue... but after seeing them after they dryed, I believe i found the color I'm staying with. The picture above doesn't do them justice, they have sparkles... Yes Sparkles! but they look so good:love: Anyway, I'll have more pictures soon, I just wanted to update and get reply's and decuss parts and not.
