Put almost 3 hours of drivig on it, and its runnin like a champ! Got to PJs in NJ last night, so today the fenders get rolled and it gets it's desperately needed alignment. I'm feelin the motor swap The eco definitely feels like it has a lil more to give than the ln2, even with my previous engine having a @!#$ ton of work done on it. Im sure all the engine/trans mounts being upgraded helped too... But I am liking the top edit has in comparison to the ln2 in stock form.

Excited to make some tweaks to my STDs with Pjs help and get that alignment done so I can feel the suspension upgrades we did. The alignment being off was causing the car to act a lil goofy so I didn't get a chance to give her a feel around corners. The A Arms do deff feel like they helped steering response. Deff needed on a J, lol.

Exterior wise, still need to install the b pillars covers and side skirts. Can't wait to see how the skirts look. Will be gettin some additional headlights and the front grills n fogs from a friend. Going to black out the headlights if I can get the lense off alright.

Overall, finally can say I'm happy wi the car.... @!#$, even have an almost complete AC system in the trunk. Might be nice to put AC back in there too! Just need a hard line

Pacesetter catback. Why, did it sound bad? Lol. I have mixed feelings about it, lol. Sounds good in the car. Never heard it outside the car.

I think the roof of my house officially needs a "KGM Chop Shop" sign, haha!

Anyways, glad you're happy with the car...pretty good birthday present to yourself, huh? I'm excited to see the car with the IF skirts and missing front end accessories. Oh, and if i come across the one a/c line in a junkyard that I didn't have in my pile for you, I'll send it your way

I got the whole frond end from Steve, harness included. I have to replace 3 clips on it though. I'd, where he collected the pieces.

The only thing stopping me from putting my skirts on, is peeling off the old RK Sport glue off the backs of them.... Ughhhhh. I think it's worse then shaving side moldings. I didn't think anything was worse than that.

I know that feeling. i very carefully removed those after paint with an angle grinder and a soft bit. Be careful not to stay in the same spot for too long, it will get really hot and could damage the paint.

^^ my turn signal bulb clips from my 02 Cav harness would not fit the 95-02 sunfire turn signal housing, on my first fire front end.... I'm not sure if the older Cav ones are the same or not, but something to keep in mind. They take the same bulb but the lil clips are slightly different.

I have the 95-99 harness, but im doing a 00+ engine harness swap. In order for me to keep my 95-99 projectors is to get an 03+ sunfire headlight harness seeing the are the same as the 95-99 bulbs and connectors.

You can find it at your local parts store. I know advanced and pep boys carry it. All it is is a rubber wheel. which attaches to a drill.
