PERFORMANCE
When I got the car I was happy with it, but soon enough I got bored with it. I started out with an E-Bay cold air intake which after the 2nd one that I ordered worked out great except I couldn't get it attached to the engine to hold it in place. Reverting back to the first attempt...this one actually ended up fitting on my friends '91 Ford Ranger XLT, which wasn't what I planned, but at least I didn't lose all my money on that one. I just recently replaced the 2nd E-Bay CAI attempt with an Ingen a month ago. The best part is that I figured out how to get it to attach.
Next I moved on on to the exhaust where I started with an OBX DTM Style Cat Back exhaust, which sounds great. The only problem I've had with it was the stock hanger snapping off; no reason why though. Staying with the exhaust, I recently had someone decide to use it as a setup, but I can't figure what they were trying to reach since my car was parked out in the middle of a mall parking lot! All is well though, all it did was bend the new hager, which was able to be readjusted back to normal. To bad the muffler is sitting cock-eyed.
After getting the cat-back in place I moved to the front of the car and bought a header, but since I don't plan on showing it I purchased a Pacesetter 4-2-1 painted header. To go along with it I picked up a Magna Flow Hi-Flow cat to complete the exhaust.
Since there was no flex pipe on the header I went out and bought upper and lower engine mounts so nothing happens to the header if the engine were to shake.
Once all this is done I wasn't sure where to go, but got a RSM Lightened Crank Pulley to see what kind of difference it made. Not much, but every part helps.
That's all I have for now, but I'm still deciding which way to go NA or Boost...thinking boost, but then I have to start on the internals.

Today I decided to switch to a "fart cannon" exhasut. Like the sound better because its not as low and sounds a tad sportier. A new rear end picture will be up tomarrow.
There's my newest addition. I originally went to Witrock Tire and Auto just to price it out and set up an appointment, but they "needed something to do". It was all said and done after 15 minutes and $157.
