Just got a GT500!

[Vrrooom]

Been searching around and found a really nice clean one from a fellow board member and got a fair deal for both sides.

I have to say- I love the car so far. Just driving it back through the mountains of WV was a blast. There were a ton of cops so I didn't get a chance to do any speeding or acceleration bursts but it was still a great time.

I'm looking forward to learning from all of you and joining in some local meets.

I did run into one major inconvenience to me- the headrest! It's just the regular SVT seats and is it me or do the headrests force you to lean forward? I tried to see if I could adjust them, but they only go up and down. What are you guys doing about this?

Also, for mods, I was thinking of just buying the '13 blower kit. Does that need any supporting mods to go with it? Injectors, etc? How does the clutch hold up?

Congrats ! Welcome to the family.

Headrest you should tilt it all the way forward and it should reset back to its original position.

For a TVS, it depends on what year you have. 11+ just bolt it on. 07~10 you may need a boost a pump, Not sure, but I am sure a owner of that year could give a better answer.

So welcome and let the mods.....BEGIN !!!!!

On the headrest - I tried to move it forward but it looks like the only way to move it is up or down

 

[Bonefish]
