Good things come to those who wait...

Well, I've owned the Stallion since May 2005, and have been waiting ever since to do some mods. The only things I've done in that time is install a FlowMaster axle-back set (sweet BTW), and I just got the rear windows tinted. Well, I got on the phone to Steeda today and ordered:

-18" Ultra-Lite Chrome wheels
-CAI and SCT X3 tuner

I tore the wing off a few days ago, and am gonna get the local shop to weld up the holes and respray...so I'm thinking the Black Stallion's gonna be badass!


Just wanted to share with some fellow enthusiasts!

Sweet! The best looking wheels for the s197 IMO. Did you get 9.5 or 10's in the rear. They only had 9.5 when I ordered mine but I would love the 10's for my extra HP...

Steeda

I went with the 9.5 all around, nice even handling and they were on sale! Anyways, wanted to be able to rotate. That way all the money I save on rubber I can spend on mods...

it is ridiculous the difference an intake and tune makes. I was miserable driving mine around after pulling them off for 2 days.

Very nice ride! Welcome, and just a side note, you may have waited a while to start, but I'd be willing to bet you won't wait very long before your next mod... and your next... oh, and your next!! LOL

I know, this is dangerous...I'm already online shopping for some springs & bumpsteer etcetera in order to lower the Stallion a bit. I'm gonna try to hold off for a while, I still need to buy tires for the new Steeda wheels!

Been waiting over three years (17% of your life) to start my serious mods...that's all.
