Well, got to take it for a spin yesterday. Drove nice and shifted great. Had no problems turning the tire . You can definitely tell its got a shift kit in it(was told it was a b&m kit when bought). Just need to get the dual exhaust on and tint the rear windows and all will be good for now. I'll get updated pictures when I tint the windows today.

Also, are the parking lights supposed to come on when you start the vehicle? Mine come on like DRL's. Was this a 94 option?

My '99 doesn't have any lights come on unless I turn them on. I don't think this was an option, but the previous owner could have modded it somehow to make that happen.

I'm not sure. The steering column cover is missing . Its just the parking lights too, no headlights. Oh well, one less thing I have to turn on I guess.

I'm willing to bet that the previous owner modified the headlight switch so that instead of the parking lights getting power when the switch is turned to it they get constant power when the ignition is on.

Now that I think of it, that would be kinda neat to do!

I want to wire up some running light so I look like a bigrig! I love the look of an amber bullet flying by.

If your worried about the lights being on all the time get a wiring diagram and trace the wiring down. See if they spiced it into another wire.

Not worried about it, just was curious.

Took it on its first official trip(only a 20min. trip). Drove nicely and it shifted great. The shift kit in it shifts hard, but, it gets and goes. Had a motor and trans combo in the rear that I hauled for my brother. Did a great job and didn't give me any kind of greif. Just thought I would share.
