Re: Mods, Upgrades, Thoughts

[Vicki Burrows <gregnvicki@earthlink.net>]

Ok, mods that were well worth the effort (IMHO), so far:  Electric fan;
electronic ignition; Jacobs Pro-Street ignition; real ignition wires; cold air
induction; kill switch; proper head porting and development; header.  Working on
vented 4 piston front discs (available through a vendor, but I like to figure
things out... that is what makes it fun).
Things that I have seen or that I want in my next (wife's) car:  300zx seats 
(got
no choice now, oops, did I say that out loud?); V6 conversion; unobtrusive frame
stiffening; alternative gauges for late model cars; A-arm style of rear diff
locating (as opposed to a pan-hard rod or watts linkage).
One thing I really like about this list is being able to see what others have
done... pics have been great when available. Keep up the good work, and keep
modifying and posting what worked and what didn't!
