I know how you feel, I wanted one for 20 years and finally got mine exactly one year ago. It had 5500 miles on it when I got it, 8200 as of right now
and yeah, the stock brakes are sketchy - I'll be looking for a brake upgrade soon too
This makes me nervious - I just bought a catted Bassani X Pipe to use with my stock exhaust manifolds - will this still work?
Here are pics of my exhaust - What kind of exhaust do I have, and how can I make it quieter without losing performance (high flow cats?)
I decided I should keep the original tires mounted to the original wheels, in case I sold it maybe it would make it more valuable to whoever buys it? who knows, but it made it easy for me to justify buying new wheels with the new tires :D
awesome thank you!
and from another thread from last year where someone else had the same setup (2.8 plus a full Metco idler pulley kit) I see @CobraBob recommended a 76" belt so I'll get that as well (green gates 76" from LMR)
Thanks for the help!
I tried looking on the billetflow website, but it looked like it was still from 1997 and I couldn't find the "order" button. I tried calling several times over several days but got no answer. I tried ordering from Lethal Performance but after it said "shipped" it didn't show up a week later so...
if it helps, I paid 45 for a black 03 coupe with 5550 miles on it last month
If I had seen a mystichrome with that low miles I surely would have paid $5k more for it, but the only one I saw was listed at 72+ and that was well out of my price range
yes everyone has those in stock... to me that was a red flag that nobody wants them
thanks to the people who verified they are running them with no issues, I had read *tons* of bad Mickey Thompson stories across various forums over the years, I guess they sorted out the issues!
Just about the only thing I can find in stock anywhere are Mickey ET Street S/S , but I keep reading horror stories about how those are impossible to balance and always shake - have they fixed these tires since then?
The only other thing I can find are Nitto NT555RII... not sure what I...
