    ***June COTM.....SteelCityTA***

    Congrats to SteelCityTA on COTM for June.




    First and foremost, I would can't say thank you enough to all the members for voting. Its great when you get feedback like this from people, but from your own peers is even better.

    To give you some history on the car...I aquired her back on February 7, 2003, 6 days after my 19th birthday. It was a bone stock 1995 Red T/A, major selling point at the time was that it was a 6-speed. Through the last 6 years I have had some things done...I painted it black with the 93-97 WS6 hood addition for a year or so and that did not last long, as I then went with a complete LS1 front end swap a year ago...Dont let the pics foo you, she has a lot a miles on her 130K but all the issues have been taken care of (opti & waterpump) LOL. She still runs like a champ.

    Exterior Mods:

    LS1 Front end Conversion
    Custom Blue Pearlcoat w/ Pearl White paint job
    WS9 Hood
    Moldings and emblems removed
    Front Bumper Clear Corners
    18x9 HP Evo's
    Rear Bumper enlay
    Bird plate overlay
    TSS Custom emblems on the way!!!
    20% Tint
    Drilled and Slotted Rotors on the kitchen table
    Powder Coated Rotors (picking up today)
    Eibach Pro-Kit

    Interior Mods

    Nothing I would say worth mentioning...

    Two Stealth Boxes (Driver and Passenger)
    2 10" Polk Audio Subs
    600W MOMO Amp
    Alpine Componenets
    New Sony headunit
    The car oringinally did not have leather...So I upgraded too leather on all seats and door panels.
    recently replaced the headliner and sun visors too.

    Performance & Handling Mods

    SLP LS1 FlowPac CAI
    Edelbrock 52MM Throttlebody(bypassed)
    MSD Wires w/NGK Plugs
    PaceSetter Coated LT's w ORY
    SLP Loudmouth
    4.10 Gears
    Hypertech Programmer
    Hypertech 160 Thermo
    B&M Ripper Shifter
    Eibach Pro-Kit
    Bilstiens
    Spohn Adj. PanHard
    3pt. Strut Tower Brace
    This list is weak I know...it will get better...someday...







    Dinner Time!

    Guess I should have looked a little closer under your avatar and I would have realized that. Nice work on the "upgrade" then!
