I have done nothing but power mods basically, all in the form of quick power, not internal improvement.

To start with.

$300 base wagon, burnt valve.

Immediately put in:
Radiator.
Speedo cable base.
brake pads and new stock front rotors.
Rebuilt heads.
used altenator and start.
used headlight.
used front driver seat.
Lightweight underdrive pulley.

With all this, I managed a best of 16.8 at 90 mph or so.

Then,
Pulled motor and put in a new clutch (stock) and new rings.
New "good" tires.

This managed to get me 30 mph on the freeway, but only a best of 16.6 at the track.

Then I started the Ebay to Hell route.

A few nitrous systems. Currently only set up for a single stage but have everyting for a duel stage except another fuel solenoid.

The supercharger and all the damn parts it took to install. Alot of the parts where relegated to R&D parts as I would use them and then realize they were outright wrong, not the right part, or not needed.

I have yet to spend a dime on handleing. And I suffer for it. I cant do crap around corners. But I do have fun in the straight line.

what happened to the bolster mod.

as for me

coffe cup mod $0.00
cone intake $0.38
first drop $30.00
second drop $750.00
boost guage $50.00
oak plank $3.50
fucker ripping me off on ebay $307.00

so im not doing too bad

I need to do the TB bypass mod.. anyone know where i can find a writeup on that? i've searched the boards here and there, and not come up with anything really helpful...

replaced the screwdriver in the steering column with an ignition switch.

i think thats about it, but there's always one or two things i miss so i'll post those when i remember them

Jake, got a pic of your clear tails?

yeah, here's a couple

Oh I thought it was clear all the way across

Still looks good tho, where'd you get them?

Splinter wrote:Oh I thought it was clear all the way across

they are clear all the way across... or are you talking about the red part too?

i just pulled out the orange reflector and replaced it with an orange bulb

Yea... I'd like to go clear all the way across (well actually Id like to see someone else who's done it first, then decide ), and maybe get the solid black piece for over the trunk section. You're legally required to have the red reflectors in the back tho, right?

Yeah, the red part isn't removeable, so you'll have a fun time making those clear. i'm not sure on the legality of making it clear, but i know they have to be red either way.

I was thinking something along these lines, sorry for the crappy photoshop work

Wow, I'm suprised so many of you are missing the rack bushings. I doubt there is a bigger performance gain that can be had for 30 bones. The shifter bushing is another cheap one that makes a nice difference. The wagon tails are de-orangable too.
