About this Current Vehicle:

Saved up and bought this car for myself in high school. Bought it from the original owner in 2004 and it only had 65k miles on it, the lady had every single service record for the car too, plus original sticker and everything else you can think of when you buy a brand new car. I have paid for all the mods on the car myself (which is a lot considering I'm a full time college student!) As long as I keep the grades up my rents help me out with insurance!
Car has just around 105K miles on it, it's about that time to start replacing a lot of parts, which is something I don't want to do, so instead I'm in the process of builing and LSX motor for it. I'm most likely just going to do an LS2 with heads, mild cam (since I autoX), and mostly forged just in case I ever want to put a power adder on!

As for the suspension, I plan on getting some revalved bilsteins from Sam Strano along with some G2 springs, and subframe connectors, maybe a tubular k-member since I'm going to be droppin a different engine in there, it would be a damn good time to do that lol. I also plan to upgrade the front brakes to C5 Z06 drilled and slotted brake rotors and calipers, and just do a LS1 F-car rear brake upgrade.
All of this prolly won't happen for a while, as it is impossible to find a steady job in a college town such as gainesville, florida.

Factory Options:

-WS9 -Y82 -GU2

Exterior Modifications:

Black Z06 Motorsports Rims, Complete CETA Mod (black rear valence, black B-pillar), WS9 badge, LS1 Trans Am tail lights, 3rd brake light mod, 6000k HID foglights, soon to have Bosch E46 Projectors in the headlights.

Interior Modifications:

Custom seats, reupholstered to look factory. Switched them from graphite to black leather with red stitching and red suede inserts. Swapped graphite carpet to black, smoothed interior panels painted black with clear coat haha, graphite to black dash, LS1 Camaro Gauge cluster with red LEDs, Dome and map lights to red LEDs, door handle lights to red leds, along with red leds in the footwells. Custom black leather with red stitching and piping shift and e-brake boot from redlinegoods.com. And more to come! I'm not done yet!

Performance:

-SLP CAI
-Hooker LT Headers
-Mufflex offroad y-pipe.
-Wingnut Cutout
-Slowmaster 80 Series Muffler

Suspension/Chassis:

-Polyurethane Bushings
-Strano 35MM Hollow Sway Bar

Drivetrain:

-SLP Short stick and short throw shifter

Electronics:

nothing special, this crap doesn't really interest me!
