Wrenching on Christmas evening.

What's car guy to do on this wonderful holiday evening?  Start stripping out the racecar of course!


I removed the door panels to get to some trim pieces that a SR20Forum.com member wanted to buy.  The speaker grilles ended up being part of the whole lower door trim (like 3' long) so I'll have to get creative shipping them out.  The guy's even buying the ashtray!

Another fellow wanted the foglights, even after I posted pictures showing that they were cracked.  He offered $30 which is NUTS because it took me over an hour to remove the dman things.  Still worth it because we cleared up some funds under the $500 spend cap and now can afford some performance parts.  Header and rear sway bar are on the top of my list.

Wrote a nice e-mail to Jay Lamm (guy who runs LeMons) and got a response on Christmas day!  I'm going to try and sell the stock 14" wheels/tires, but not sure who would actually want these!  They're all of 5.5" wide. Wow.  Thinking we should go to 15" x 6.5 or 7" width to run some 205 Azenis.  These appear to be the tire of choice for LeMons.  Time to draft a sponsorship proposal to Falken!
