About this Current Vehicle:
I have had this car since July '00, it has a tad over 72K miles, when I first got it had 41,070 miles, not bad for a 7 year old car. The first owner had it in Hawaii while in the Military, then brought it to Texas in '98, trading it in for a Honda minivan in 2000. I found the car at the Honda dealer it was traded in at while browsing auto trader. I can tell it was adult kept, the interior was clean and it had no modifications what so ever.

AS&M TB Install 93 LT1 People READ this
This install was dumb luck, the TB as it comes from AS&M uses a 94+ Style IAC housing, so the valve actually bolts in, 93s how ever are the older type that screw in. So what are you to do? Well in my case I lucked out and found a AS&M Throttle Body IAC plate for the 93 style IAC valve on Speeddensity.org and was able to swap it over. How ever if you don't fall ass backwards in to some thing like that, you need to find a 94+ style connector off the internet (I have one if any one wants one) and go get a 94+ IAC Valve from your Auto parts store. With some minor rewiring you should be golden. Also when you order a TB for your 93 AUTOMATIC make sure it has provisions for a kick down cable if not, you arent going any where. Once you have the Throttle Body installed, go to TCI's web site and read their guide on how to adjust the T.V cable. The first time I drove the car, it wouldnt shift, the TCI guide is pretty good.

New Firehawk hood
Got the car back, looks pretty good with the new hood. The car does need a repaint down the line. Some parts are worse then others but theres so many areas to "fix," by the time you add them all up, its not much more just to repaint the entire car. But that wont be for a while, at least another year but in the mean time I didnt want to have to look at a black hood on a some what red car
