    Bullitt suspension package

    That's overpriced to me. You need to decide how much drop you want, and buy from there. The more you drop it, the more stuff you'll need. Maximum Motorsports camber plates are the preferred plates. Stang Suspension's house plates also work well.

    Which Tires and Tire Size?

    It depends on what you're wanting to get out of the upgrade. The 10" width makes sense if you're going to race a bit (legally, of course), but the cost per tire is big. 10" in front won't work, so you'll have a staggered look. 18" vs. 17" depends on how much sidewall you want. Going from...

    Which Tires and Tire Size?

    With the 8" stock rims, just stay with the 245's. If you really want wider tires, get a new set of rims.

    so depressing :(

    No way. Not because of the snow, but because of the salt. I'll take my second cars that take the winter beating (and lower my insurance) any time. Take the Blizzak money and buy a winter beater :nice:

    Winter Tires???

    I'm in agreement that if you're going to drive your car in the winter, you need to buy a seperate (and thinner) tire and cheap-o rim set. It makes sense to do so.

    What springtime mods will you do?

    It's winter to me. My car is up for the winter. This spring it's the gears and a new short throw. I wanted to do some of that this year, but the suspension went well over budget by the time everything was done.

    lowering 03 GT bump steer kit y/n?

    The lower you go, the more you need the bumpsteer kit. Sportlines are one of the larger drop suspensions, so get it.

    Snow Tires: Cool With 2, or Worth Going For 4?

    I'd go with 4, definately. You can pretty much drive through anything with all 4 snowed out. Maybe the old guys that drove in the 70's (before front wheel drive was common) can elaborate, but I think you need all 4 for the car to handle correctly.

    Mobile 1 (5-20) GONE for now

    That sounds like an annual OCI to me. I'm sure others may differ.

    Mobile 1 (5-20) GONE for now

    They said 5W-30 was thin years back. That's the old and incorrect school of thought. There's plenty of 0W-20 and 0W-30 oil in use today and no one has problems. Engineers are very smart and know what they're doing. They recommend 5W-20, so it's fine to use it. Alot of the 5W-20's and...

    Mobile 1 (5-20) GONE for now

    One of the reasons, yes. There's nothing wrong with 5W-20. A good percentage of new cars are recommending it's use.

    Mobile 1 (5-20) GONE for now

    5W-30 would be fine. I heard M1 should return in December.

    Help me revive my Sonic Blue 03 GT

    The Zaino PC-Fusion is amazing stuff. Couple that with a couple of layers of z-5 and things will be golden! I'm used the combination on my Sonic (because of a couple of lazy brush car washes years back) and the results were noticable and great. I'm going to post pics when finish up (and...

    Ethanol question..

    E10 is fine. Most cars made in the last 20 years handle it just fine. I live on the fringe of a mandated E10 area, so I have access to both types of fuel. I will patronize the station outside the area that claims to be ethanol free and the mileage is better in our Hyundai. I also make...

    how many miles are on your 99-04?

    2002 with 48k. Drove it 10k in the first 12 months I owned it. 5-6k/yr after that. I'm trying to drive it more this year.

    Price for gear install

    When I was asking for quotes the five shops I called were all pretty close in price (for labor only). ~$480-$600 (top price was a Ford dealer) was the range. Best bet is to find someone to do it as a side job. Most of the installs aren't that hard - so I've been told.

    Help me choose a daily driver..choices inside

    When I was picking up the current DD, I was looking for something a bit "sporty" and fuel efficeint. I had it down to Subaru (not model specific), Toyota Celica, another Probe, and a Honda Prelude. I picked up a Prelude for a good price. I couldn't be happier. Great car and fun to drive...

    18 in wheel question

    Yeah, the 265/35/18's are nearly the identical circumference as the 245/45/17's.
