I used 1/4" wheel spacers all the way around to pull the wheels out a little. It gives it a slightly more aggressive stance. I also prefer the "no front plate" look. ads more character.

Interior is still untouched. Being that i've only had the car for a couple months,exterior and engine improvements are first priority.Plans are for full leather seating, wood grain trim off of the 99 Malibu LS rather than the fake carbon fiber it came with..Have a 3 gauge pillar pod on order for oil temp/oil pressure/trans temp.

When I got the car I was having trouble with Piston slap. Wiseco Pistons took care of that problem and Bills Machine Shop did the .030 bore. Then I took it over to B&F Kustoms and had the Heads and Intake Ported and Polished. The result is 255hp. Yes this is one hell of a sleeper.

Other upgrades include

-Silverstar low and high beams.
-BFGoodrich Traction T/A tires.
-Stainless steel and Carbon fiber center caps from a wrecked 01 Impala taxi donor.
-Stainless steel trim rims off of a Wrecked 86 Plymouth Voyager donor.
-Akebono Ceramic brake pads.
-Brembo drilled and slotted rotors.
-Prothane Urathane bushings.
-K&N Air Filter.
-K&N Fuel filter.
-Port and pollish heads and intake.
-Tornado Fuel saver.
-AC Delco iridium spark plugs.
-AC Delco 8mm plug wires.
-GoodYear Gatorback belt.
-Denso Fuel injectors.

All fluids underhood are meticulously kept and are all full synthetic Mobil Products.
All fluids were flushed upon receiving the car using BG system flush kits.

Shortly I am receiving a set of 16" steel wheels off a 95 impala cruiser. I have a set of BFGoodrich G-Force low profile tires to put on. Then I will Put on a set of lowering springs for a slightly over 1" drop to fill the wheel gap. A set of sensi-trac struts will make for a nice smooth ride. This winter i am looking to change the paint from medium green metallic to midnight blue pearl metallic. An exhaust system would be nice,but I am not willing to buy 10 different systems and find one that doesn't sound ricey or can-like. I have an aggressive/sporty sound to it with the stock exhaust so I might just keep it how it is. Shortly I will purchase a yard motor and start a build on that for whenever The current 3.1 decides to take a dump. Plans for that motor will include Horse Power exceeding 300 and torque exceeding 350. Obviously I am going to need to take more precautions when dealing with a motor of that caliber. I am looking into subframe options and checking clearance for Impala subframing.

Nice start except for the supposed HP you tout, I'd have to see real chassis dyno run on yours.

ya malibusupasort is right ther is no way you can get that out of only p&p .030 over bore. maybe if you splash it or force it you can make that amount. but asperated. you need to go back to school. i have done more than that. dont fake the bu its not right.

yo bro, please, dont bs, even though im a huge malibu fan, u cant get 255 outta a malibu on stock rods or even with high comp and nitrous... i made 274 hp with 6 lbs, so ur figures make is seem fake, but if u got skillz, prove it, .. and it dont make much difference with weisco postons and p&p head..., and btw, what fuel injecotrs are u using to produce 255 hp
