The after about a year of running around getting the stage 0 things done.  I started tinkering.  I'm no where near as picky as most people on cardomain.  So I just do little cheap stuff and have fun.

 $50 for 760 15" wheels.....

 $30 for a 'B' cam, revs much smoother and happier then the stock 'M' cam.  Another must have.

No pictures of it, but I also added remote keyless entry.  It already has centeral locking so all the doors lock and unlock with one button. Also the starter is disabled when the car is locked via remote. :)

Bye bye to the A/C, $10 PS pump bracket on the left.  Its only about 1-2lbs, the A/C and its bracket felt about 35-40lbs.  That doesn't include the A/C lines, condensor and all the other junk that was taken out.

I had a E-fan in the car over the summer, and for some reason I sold it and went back to stock.  But now am wanting an E-fan again.  It worked fine, but after installing a tranny cooler, I think I wanted constent air flow for when I was stopped at a light.

 E-Fan from a '90 Lebaron.  Worked GREAT, even in 95-100 degree weather in stop and go traffic.

Nice! I'm in the middle of removing my A/C too, and my B cam is going in next week. I'm trying to find firewall plugs to get ride of the holes left by the A/C lines, I'll let you know if I find any (apparently 1 3/4" is not a common size, the smaller hole is 1 3/8"). Is your cam timed straight up, or did you advance it at all? Are you on turbobricks?

Great to see another 245, about the right side of the car, they don't call them bricks for nothing!
