What mods/fixes are you planning?

[95metro]

Anyone care to share what are in the future plans for your vehicle(s)? Just list anything - common repairs and/or modifications.

I'm mostly posting so I can make a list for myself

- Tune up/fluids change/lube
- Brakes (all four wheels)
- Onboard diagnostic system (building it this weekend)
- Body work/rust removal
- Exhaust replacement
- Engine rebuild (maybe next year)
- Grill blocking/air deflectors
- Debating with myself about wheel skirts, but I do have some drawn up
- RWED (Rear-Wheel-Electric-Drive)...need to find an old Chevette/Acadian to experiment on
- Turbo (low boost - mostly to run a generator)
- Lightweight rims
- Smaller and/or lightweight gas tank

I'm certain that I'll think of more stuff as I go.

Good plan...we'll all push each other to get stuff done.

HAI...intake, that's right, I have to modify my intake...

We've been trying to figure out the effect of free-flow exhaust vs. a more restrictive one. I think your car may be a good experiment since it has a straight pipe. If you do the exhaust on a separate tank, could you report the results on economy? I'm curious. Thanks!

[95metro]

No problem...that's been my plan all along actually. There may be some temperature variance involved, but I will fill up just before I do the exhaust and see what kind of difference I find after.

Sorry that my gaslog on this site is not complete at all - I've just been too lazy to repost all the data here. I have a pdf version on my car's website:

We should be able to extrapolate the straight-pipe vs. exhaust figures pretty easily.

I have to save up for the exhaust since I want a brand new OEM replacement. Should be able to do it in July or August I think.

So you're putting the same exhaust on?

What is currently on is the original 11-year-old cat, solid pipe, and a rusted out resonator tip. Ugly as hell and buzzes like mad.

I'm going to replace the entire system with an OEM Walker replacement exhaust - cat, resonator, muffler.

[SVOboy]

Boo,

Just kidding. Take it to my shop and we'll get you a deal.

[95metro]

Boo to the Walker exhaust or the OEM setup?

[SVOboy]

OEM

Since we're all wondering about exhaust mods OEM is kinda boring.
