Welcome to Nick's version of "Pimp My Ride". This is my web page dedicated specifically for my 1997 Oldsmobile Achieva SC. I like all makes and models of cars even imports, I have one of those as well (pp.6). The olds is fun to drive and it is my car stereo project car. If you have any positive questions or suggestions leave a comment as I will do the same for you. Whether it be Domestic, Import, or American Muscle you should learn to respect all cars. I have no problem parking my '94 Honda Civic EX next to my '97 Oldsmobile Achieva at a local car shows and telling people they are both mine. More picks will arrive as time allows. If you like what you see so far be sure to "Rate this vehicle". I decided to do some fiberglassing myself, OH BOY HERE WE GO ! !.
Vehicle Overview:
Most of the work listed here was performed as well as in stalled by me or with the help of my friends and family, you all know how it is on those nice weekends, tinkering leads to a complete redo (pp.5)!

- As like any other car enthusiast, most of you know this, there is never the saying "There thats it, I'm done." 'cause we're never done. More will surely come.
What the future may bring:

- Performance Shocks (any ideas?)
- Neon accents
- 7.2" TFT LCD (currently working on dash enclusure)
- I am attempting to fiberglass some interior parts, it's very messy but the outcome is worth it.
- If you have any reasonable suggestions let me know.
Future happenings, the car loan is finally payed off, the following will get done as time and money allow:
- Engine work
- Possibly Supercharger, Turbo or even a W41 swap if possible.
- Everything shaved, door handles, ugly black trunk plastic piece will be built up and painted the same color as the car etc., everything with solinoides in its place
- Basically build a one of a kind car and prove to everyone that an Olds Achieva can indeed be a custom car, at least try to anyway.
I like this car too much to trade in sell or get rid of, so, I will surely purchase a daily driver [DONE and it's a 2003 Ford Explorer Sport Trac (pp.6)] and garage this one then build it up (work in progress, sort of).
I would like to take this time and space here to thank my Family and Friends for their continued support, helpful advise and ideas as wacky as they may seem they do acctually work, in my projects with my car.
Thank you for looking at the webpage please continue....and enjoy!
