Mine?

Its a stock bottom end (honed and rering due to fuel wash messing the cylinders up), stock cam, Cobra intake, 65mm TB, 75mm ProM, CAI, pulleys, E7s with GT40 (1.84/1.54) valves and a good valve job, 1.7 rockers, Long tubes, X pipe, mufflers, 3.73s, clutch and a shifter. It could be duplicated for a couple thousand dollars, gets real good gas mileage, idles stock, and has been nothing but reliable!

A GT40 combo would be better though, in my opinion!

What size hood? Car looks great I'm wondering if I have sportlines on my car, it was lowered when I bought it, but it sits right about where yours does - careful on the speedbumps right?

Thank you! It is a 2.5" hood. I have to be careful on the speedbumps and high incline driveways, which the Springs seem to have a lot of.

I did like the simple, "clean" look it had with the split-spokes. These wheels give the car a whole new attitude...not that there's anything wrong with that.

I have 285/35/18s on a 10" rim. Mine sit slightly less than square. It depends on the tire manufacturer but a 295 might fit a 10.5 better. Not sure on room in the wheel well, but definately worth some research. A 275 I can say would be narrow.

I honestly like the car with both wheels. It has a different look with each set. I do like the deep dish wheels better though. The split fives are from 96-98 GT's.
