It's nothing special right now as I haven't really messed w/ it in a while.

Modifications done include:
-Custom exhaust(2.5'' mandrel bent SS piping, no cat, one 30 series flowmaster into dual dual 3'' outlet mirror polished SS tips...lost a bit of low-end torque w/ this setup, but it has better "highway" power now)
-Gutted airbox w/ K&N drop-in
-KYB GR-2 struts on all four corners.
-FE3 suspension upgrade(front coil springs, rear mono-leaf, 34mm front anti-sway bar)*All components from 1995 GTP*
-Addco 7/8''(~22.2mm) rear anti-sway bar.
-GM Strut Tower Braces in front and rear(not pictured in engine bay shot, had it and my spare strut cover plates removed at the time to repaint).
-H rated Bridgestone Turanza tires(225/60/16-on car)
-Bridgestone Potenza RE730 GEN II 225/60/ZR16 tires.(spare set)
-Kenwood 45x4 watts cd player/headunit.
-Pioneer 4x6'' speakers in dash.
-Pioneer 6x9''three-way speakers in rear decklid
- installed a Driver's Information Center from a 1990 Grand Prix STE
-Manual cooling fan switches(located in cigarette lighter cubby).
-55w Pilot foglights w/ modified stock brackets.
-180* t-stat(i've ran 160* ones before, but the car runs pretty rich w/ them)
-Throttle body coolant bypass mod

All in all, I haven't done a lot to this car. The 93 has a hair over 240K on it at the moment w/ the original paint save for the pinstripe(painted it "Dodge Intense Blue Pearl" since the stock red stripe was faded and it didn't appeal to me that much). I also have various other things under the hood painted w/ the dodge shade of blue as well as a few interior accents. The motor/transaxle in the car have ~170K on them and are junkyard units that I inspected/replaced a few things on and then put them in the car. The stock motor/transaxle were removed @ 230K because I wanted to build up the motor some and swap in a getrag 282 or the like, I did the motor, but I actually sold it recently due to my financial situation at the time. I'm not really sure what I'm going to do to the 93 in the near future, but I might do a custom turbocharged or supercharged 60* of some sort mated to a manual transaxle or I might take the easy way out with a *cough* boat anchor *cough*.

Wow, that thing is clean! You must garage it, lol. I helped a friend gut his airbox on a 3.1. That thing sounded pretty damned close to a DOHC after that. He loved it, lol. Both of my cars have gutted airboxes too. It actually helped high end power a little, not to mention they sound respectable now when I get on it.

I garage it most of the time now..well, not exactly a "garage"....I've got one of those car awnings(spelling?) that you park under and I built sides and all on it and park the 93 under there. My actual garage houses my TGP and GTP. I need one of those large Butler style metal buildings for all my cars(I've got a few other cheap project cars in the yard). My 3.1 sounds mean w/ the exhaust setup I have, that's what you mainly hear(it's not loud inside, but extremely loud outside the car)..the gutted airbox can be heard around 3K on up though.
