    Tire size question

    I have Hotchkiss control arms in the back. Do I still need the quad shocks? Again, I bought the car this way so I'm not sure :shrug:

    Tire size question

    What size tires can I run with a 17 inch 99 Cobra wheel on my 89 LX. It does not have the quad shocks but it is lowered. I'm not sure how much it is lowered because I bought it this way but here is a picture to give you an idea. Thanks

    My 89 LX

    Thanks guys. I picked this car up just as you see it for 6000. I thought that was a pretty good score. I was looking for a real clean white LX. There is not a spot of rust anywhere and it is straight as an arrow. I don't have any pics of the dash lit up. I will take some tomorrow and...

    Who makes a great quality Saleen Body kit?

    I'm looking for a quality Saleen body kit for my 89 LX. I would preferably like to buy 1 kit with everything included. Some of the kits I found don't include the rear wing or they look slightly different that a genuine saleen. Any recommendations?

    Any good kits out there to stregnthen a stock tranny?

    I have an 89 LX with a supercharger and some other minor mods. I don't beat the crap out of it and I never run it at the track with slicks. Do I need a Tremec or is there a kit out there that will strengthen my stock tranny enough? It grinds second so its time for it to come out anyway.

    3550 or TKO?

    Sorry for my ignorance, afterall, message boards were made for dumb a**es like me who know nothing, but what is a T5z? Is it just an upgraded T5? What can it handle?

    3550 or TKO?

    I'm making probably about 350hp at the fly wheel. E cam, ported stock heads, GT40 upper and lower, and about 6-7 psi of boost. Mostly a street car with the occassional trip to the track just for fun

    3550 or TKO?

    I put a 3550 in my 89 GT back in 95-96 and I don't remember buying a new bell. I could swear that I bolted it up the stock bell. Of coarse I could be wrong

    3550 or TKO?

    I have a chance to pick up a pretty fresh 3550 for a good price. Is the new TKO 500 much better? The new TKO is the replaecment for the old 3550 correct? If memory serves me right, the 3550 bolts up to the stock bell housing. Is the new TKO the same? Thanks

    Supercharger question

    Thanks for the kind words, I think I got a good deal considering the condition....$6000 with 87k original miles. Stock ones in that shape were 4500-6500. My plan is to drive it on the street mostly and take it to the track once in a while with some sticky street tires. I don't want to pound...
