Just got a new (Canton) aluminum coolant expansion tank with a REAL pressure cap instead of the OEM piece-o-crap (not to be confused with craptastic). Not installed yet. Will be when I get the rest of the coolant system stuff.

Next mod is MSD coil and ignition wires and red Alta Silicon coolant system hoses and 180 thermostat.

Also adding a Palm with OBDII scanning and recording software in prep for more tuning.

Last mod was a leather like steering wheel cover with two large red letter "S" on it for softer comfort.

I need to get some strut tower plates soon.

How's it going?

I think you can do better than that.

BTW, did you take that Fire Sauce out of the pockets yet?

Oh, I am putting on the Panther Black Cabrio trim pieces for the hoops in the back on MINInurse's MCSC tomorrow. She, and I, don't like the chrome ones. That should be cool.

UPDATE: Installed the black hoops this morning. Looks nice!
