I'll go first...
Mechanically, I intended and successfully completed the exhaust. The intake is next.
Cosmetically, window tints was a big one, the new head unit and speakers...now I gotta do the minor rust repair, and spot paint, with near match paint.
For now...

Well, as you know I just put your 7 band Eq. stereo in my car, replacing an aftermarket unit. I would have to say to every bonnie owner who'* car came with an aftermarket unit, and they think it sounds crappy... GET THE FACTORY UNIT, it is like 100x better now that I have the factory unit in. Anyway that'* just my $118

just purchased my 92 SE, only mods as of now are a 2" lowered suspension, chrome rocker panels, mtx speakers(also a full Dymamat lined trunk) and 25% window tint. im currently repairing everything that the previous owner had ruined. Many more mods to come in the near future!

This year sometime I'd like to get that adjustable coil over kit at DP. Longterm I hope to get a engine build or swap in a bigger, badder engine. I'd like to see my car run a mid to low 14 quarter.
As for cosmetic changes I don't think I'm going to do anything.

All I have done so far is a couple of very minor cosmetic changes...a chrome license plate frame, and one of those little chrome fishes (ICTHUS) and a small flag decal in the rear window. These were just quick, easy and cheap so I started there.
Here'* my plan...
In a couple weeks I will be:
~installing a 180 degree thermostat
~plasma xenon gas headlights and foglights (blue tint)
~adjusting the supercharger to boost sooner (I had a post from here describing it, but I lost it somehow...if someone remembers it and can find it, it will help me out a lot...it was something about moving a bolt)
~fixing a new dent in the door
In the near future (within one year) I will be:
~installing a tranny cooler
~putting in new copper tipped spark plugs (possibly one heat range cooler...haven't decided)
~changing to Taylor wires (red to match the lettering on the engine cover)
~putting in a Cold Air Intake (real kind, with heat shield) and K&N cone filter
~changing to ceramic brake pads and slotted rotors
~putting in a 3.4 SC pulley
~changing all interior lights, plate lights and trunk light to a pale blue (maybe with gels)
In the distant (dreaming) future I may be:
~getting a better exaust system (not for sound but for power)
~switching to High Intensity Discharge headlamps
~putting in angel eyes fog lamps
~getting a light tint all around (whatever the legal limit is in NH)
~getting 19 or 20 inch wheels and very low profile tires
~installing a performance chip to compensate for whatever I've done
~getting a whole new sound system with MP3 playback capability (changer maybe)
~and maybe one day a custom paint job (metallic...maybe a platinum color)
I'm sure I'll get other ideas here in the furture, but as it stands now, this will complete my favorite project.
