Re: Motaboata's 98 Z28
**Update**
So CEL kept coming back on with new MAF from Junk Yard.. Went to Auto Zone and bought a reman from them... Works Mint....
Car has misfire replaced plugs and wires... The new e3 plugs and MSD super conductor wires...
did oil change... ouch it was black like nasty black
Transmission was put it... Damn shitty company... damn trans pan is leaking even though brand new trans
Put OEM headlights on with 6k HIDS... Looks sooo much better
Had buddy weld Ypipe to Intermediate pipe
Flowmaster muffler taken off.. so intermediate dumps off over rear axel and thats it she is loud!
Put aftermarket radio in and installed all new interior speakers, bypassed factory amp
Cleaned up wiring under the hood and in fuse panel.
Changes GAY FnF switches for simple black rocker switches.
Had rear end redone added 3.73's and all new bearings...everything on old 1 was smoked
Subframe Connectors added weld in type... MMMMM so much better... So stiff.....
New Tires put on all Around 255 Front 285 Rear
Got special floor mats from a friend which i even beat the company they were made for on a pair...
ALSO GOT A 403 STROKER IN MY BASEMENT FOR HER!!!
