    Getting my car painted!! Progress pics

    I had my dad drop the car off at the body shop and when I saw the pictures, it was too late to have the shop take the trim off so I couldn't really do anything about that. I can't wait to see it in person all cleaned up. I'll get some better pictures of it in the sunlight when my brother...

    Getting my car painted!! Progress pics

    The paint on that car doesn't look right for some reason. It almost looks like they didn't remove the window trim before painting it. Lol

    Awesome. When I get my car, I'm going to do some exploring so I'm sure I'll find it eventually. Why in the world would you drive all the way down here? Lol Why is your car broke?

    Parking my car while I'm in bootcamp

    I'm leaving next Wednesday for Navy bootcamp for 8 weeks and I was wanting advice on what I should do to keep it in good condition while I'm gone.

    88 GT with 17" cobra r wheels... what size tires??

    It shouldnt be the tires rubbing, its probably the rim itself. I have the same problem at full lock with my 17X9 cobra r's. You can see where the inside of the rim was rubbing on the a arm. I have the same size tires as you also.

    Why do I keep breaking valve springs???

    Sorry that kinda was the wrong phrase to use haha. I only tightened the rockers down about 3/4 turn past zero lash so they werent adjusted too tight.

    Why do I keep breaking valve springs???

    Why do I keep breaking valve springs???

    I've had a problem with breaking valve springs on my motor and I can't figure out what the problem is. I have AFR 185's #1492, a Comp xe282hr cam and comp pro magnum 1.6 rocker arms. When I had the heads converted to stud-mount, the machine shop put in comp springs, I'm not sure of the seat...

    Engine stumbles and misses under normal acceleration

    The weird thing is that it only does it from like 2000 to 2800 but everywhere else it runs great and it runs awesome at WOT.

    Engine stumbles and misses under normal acceleration

    Well it is the stock distributor, it just has a MSD cap, it was on there when I bought the car. I'm gonna try to find another stock distributor and see if it makes a difference. And I'm going to look into getting a Anderson Power Pipe.
