Well the car has been acting up alot so I figured it was time for a complete tune up and another small change.

worked on changing all vacuum lines, broke purge solenoid while doing so . the new one will be here tomorrow..









Oh yeah, the headlights are gone(sold$80+oem headlights), good ridence to the Projector lights, and the wheels sold them too.($450).

I got a New set of Anthracite Bullits 17x8 front, 17x9 lip'd back. came with Brand new Bridgestone Potenza Tires, 255/40R17 front and 275/40r17 back.$600 total

I should have kept my centers but didnt think they would fit.

I will post some pics of the wheels tomorrow.

Actually, I think that wing balances out the car nicely. With it, you can't see out the front OR the back...

I bet with the top down, that thing looked like a roller skate...

It may just be me but it kind of looks like your back wheels and tires are put on the wrong side from the tread but then again that might be how those tires are made. I would double check it though

The tires are not directional. i bought them from a guy who worked at Firestone, he said they arent directional and thats why he used them them..
But I will check in the morning>

The tires have maybe 25 miles on them.

FloFit seats are gone, took em out today and shipped them to Florida.

I drove 126 mile round trip to get these leather seats for $200. The back seats and headrest appear to be newly recovered. The passenger seat has a small hole but its hidden. the driver seat has a seam resown and a small wear hole on the edge> who cares they are black leather power seats for $200 and $15 in gas>

$300 profit on seat swap and $70 out of pocket for wheels> yay now i can buy this polished typhoon intake for $200 or the satin for $170


check em out

Is this what happens when you get leather seats wet?

I like the nylon five point harness.

Got an explorer upper and lower intake with injectors for $140, got an edelbrock throttle body elbow for $25, BBK gripp strut tower brace for $50, and march underdrive pulleys for $50>

Guess i should be looking for a Bigger TB huh?

I know the heads still suck but I am waiting to find some cheap GT40's, not GT40p's.

i dont want to swap the heads unless its worth it. lol and using the p's means new headers.. For the extra coin i could just buy better heads. IMO
