I'll share mine:

Had a local muffler shop bend up four 90 degree pieces of aluminumize 
exhaust pipe.  Went home to Cut and welded them so the exhaust pipe goes 
up and over the rear axle.  Replaced the resonator with a 17 inch long 
glasspack and improved the ground clearance.

Removed one of the leaves out of the rear springs (80 model) to soften 
and lower the rearend.  Spring rate went from 140 lbs/inch to 115 
lbs/inch.  The axle may be twisting a little.  I have read that racers 
will remove leafs from the rear half of a leaf spring only.  And keep 
the front half stock.  Changed to Spax rear shocks, the Monroe 5877STs 
were still to hard. (actually Gabriel equivalents)
