latest purchases?

Four 275/45ZR20 Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3 for the SUV. Man, while I wouldn't buy these for the sporty cars, these are way better than the OE Goodyear Eagle RS-A that the SUV came with.
 
New 17" 5x108 Konig Incidents, couple of Toshiba 9011 and 9012 HIRs, 194-sized angled LED bulbs from V-LED, floormats, silicone wipers, clear sidemarker lamps and oil change supplies (Mobil 1 EP 5W30 + Purolator filters).
 
One well-used and somewhat worn out 1994 Subaru SVX LSi AWD with tan leather / suede interior and black pearl exterior, bought in early January.

For the above, so far:
4.44 gear ratio transmission / rear diff upgrade (over the standard 3.54)
New front axles
DVD player sun visors, to replace my unusable droopy ones
Set of 4 Bridgestone Potenza RE-01Rs in 225/45/17
Set of 4 RaceConcepts dimpled / slotted / plated rotors, new F/R brake pads, F/R stainless braided brake lines, front calipers
Custom exhaust, seen here. Mine is the one on the left - the tips were not in place yet. I got the same tips as the car on the right.
4500K HID kit (to replace the existing 8000k rice blue) in the factory projector lenses

Still much more to come. I have to undo years of neglect. :frown:
 
Short Throw shifter
Shift stabilizer bushings
Header w/ cat delete
Chip
Air and Oil filters
Leather boot
Shift knob

2x12" subs with an 800W RMS amp.


Errr....=]
 
latest was getting a better flange between my header and 3" cat. Sort of garage: Ridgid TS3660 table saw, infinity 010-060 blade, Incra 1000SE and Miter Express Sled, new bandsaw blade, miter/fence, 18" rule...
 
Oil filter and set of rear shocks/struts for my 97 Cavalier. The Caprice will have to wait for its repairs for a few months...but it doesn't have anything really pressing to fix.
 
Got a set of driveshaftshop rear axles sitting in my basement. A new standalone engine management system that just arrived from Australia and a brand new set of heads that are at the machine shop waiting to get a port and polish and oversized valves with a new set of AVCS Kelford cams and springs etc.

In the next month or so Ill decide whether my engine build is going to be moderate (all forged internals - blueprinted - race bearings etc) or all out (same as before with stronger forgings and pressed in darton iron race sleeves)

Also might pick up some meth/water injection.

Its going to be a fun summer (I hope!)

Heh, forgot about the old Cavvy. New muffler, rotors + brake pads, rim covers and lights (also Toshiba 9011 and 9012, plus LED license plate light) and oil change supplies (Valvoline 5W30 synth also with Puralator filters).
 
Kenwood 8104d with a JL Audio 10 inch sub/box.

Got the wiring done today. If the weather is nice, I'll have the sub in next weekend.

Next on the list: Components for the front, Kartboy shifter/bushings

Great car!

I own a 2006 9-3 Aero sedan and a 2008 9-3 Aero convertible.


My most recent purchase: Windscreen for the convertible for more comfort on top-down driving.

I'll put some up shortly, need to find my camera and give it a good bath. She's not much to look at right now, unfortunately, as the factory paint is pretty well shot and the clearcoat is peeling. There's a good amount of rust on the doors, although the rest of the car seems OK. And the previous owner somehow found a way to slap Crown Vic tires on the factory alloys, which are on there now - it looks ridiculous.

New (used) rust-free doors and a fresh coat of factory color paint are on the "to do" list, and I'm getting ready to drop the summer wheels with the new tires on there as soon as I'm sure there won't be any more snowstorms this season. It's definitely a work in progress.

Nice hot air intake. Don't plan on driving around with the hood on?

Actually recent tests have shown that aftermarket open filters are at or slightly below the stock intake temps. With the plenum forcing air over to the intakes from the kidneys I think I'll be OK. If not I can always put the stock box back on.

I highly recommend the RPI scoop. They don't make one for the 135i officially, but I have to think it wouldn't be hard to modify it to fit.
 
Front pads & rotors.
spark plugs & wires
PCV vavle
Trans filter
5 qts of Mobil 1 Synthetic ATF $20! :shocked:

Standard issue maintenance for the most part.
