I thought you were selling the '91 convertible?

negative. it was a typo, I was talking about one of the others.

I want the 91 to be a pacecar look alike.  maybe the rear fender badges, but not the door script.

oh.

well looks like my plans changed a little.  due to me having no money to get my car aligned after i lowered it last summer the front tires are now shot.  front driver's side tire is going bald on the outside VERY quickly.

so, the Spirit R/T project is going to be put on hold a little longer.  i'm going to be ordering two new BFG Traction T/As here soon along with new outer tie rod ends and of course, have it aligned immediatly

thinking about getting the $155 GMPP handling kit while i'm at it, but i think i'm going to wait until spring for that.  i'm gonna need brakes soon too and i'm definately going with the F-body PBR aluminum dual piston + 12" rotors when i do it.  i'm getting a knocking sound when turning corners sometimes and i'm hoping i don't have to order new wheel bearings ($$$).  the bad alignment may have fucked them up.  i also need to fix an audible exhaust leak which i'm sure is affecting my gas mileage along with the bad alignment.  hopefully it's just the downpipe gasket.

Well, I guess I am doing the GMPP Handling kit... My front sway bar broke last Saturday and it's $130 just in parts for a new oem front sway bar, end links and bushings!

Only when turning? i would guess its a universal joint in one of your axles. or both... check for torn boots, and look inside... or, hold it and rotate the tire with your other hand (car obviously off the ground) and see if there is play.

ha sorry for the late reply i've kinda distanced myself from car forums in the past few months.  i did find the problem though, it was the metal end cap of the K&N cone filter (on the end of the JMB FWI) banging against the inner fender!  i put a shop rag between there and no more noise at all

so anyways, it's been a few months now and the weather is getting nice....anyone doing anything yet?  i just changed the oil and that's all i've done.  front tires are still shot, still needs an alignment blah blah.  all my money is going to my R/T i guess and paying bills.  car is running fine and getting good gas mileage (like 32mpg/hwy) so i'm happy.

i've pretty much decided that sooner than later i'm going to be going old school Turbo Dodge only, so my W-body days are probably numbered.  besides maintenance, i'm not going to do anything with the Regal but pay it off.

[Euro]

For me, since paying it off is nowhere near a goal for 2008, I'm not looking to do a whole lot since I don't want to mod this one very much or boost it.

So..

-SLP Gen 2 spoiler
-Thrasher intake
-grilles
-tinted tails
-install my system that's been sitting in my room since I sold the Lumina
-tint
-black headlights + 4300k HIDs

Well, these have changed a bit.  

K&N FIPK(birthday gift...installed)
Ported exhaust manifolds(buying tomorrow!)
ER Rockers...maybe....maybe
detail the shit out of it(it needs it)
then everything else that's listed in the original post!

The only thing I've accomplished so far is the intake.

New plans for 08.. haha  :?

Bodywork and paint to the passenger rear door and 1/4 panel.   :x

[mfewtrail]

I was planning on picking up another TGP, so I can check that off of my neverending list.

Here's a list of plans for the red TGP in no particular order:

1. repaint front valence & rear bumper.
2. respray core support(bit of rust on the right side of it from a leaking and/or exploding battery in the past, the acid ate the paint there and has rusted up the battery tray pretty bad )
3. get it running 100%, I'm working on that right now. I did a few things to the car today.
4. Wash, clay, machine polish, and wax it.
5. Eventually find a nicer driver's seat for it. The leather on the side bolster is tore and the seat shows some wear. The rest of the interior is in great shape besides that.
6. Apply new glue to the door panel carpet and trunk pass through carpet. The old glue has dried out after 18-19 years and the carpet is coming up.


Besides that, I have a few other things planned that I'll post about later...

[Breakdown]

Nothing . . . . nothing . . . . about getting a gasket replaced so that the SuperCharged engine won't go up in flames.

Wow . . . .
