I found a few Oddities already on the few we have gotten in
On the V6, the rear disc brakes ARE VENTED
, not solid as we were told before
The rear wheel wells are rolled for fatty tires(it was a pita to do it before)
And one of our V6's came in with IUP-type stainless-inset door sills, without being equipped with the IUP
Someone's getting a freebie

I noticed today that the outside edge of the rear window "Distorts" the rear view. I.e the width of cars is scrunched up....narrower. It's on both driver and pass side.. Looks to be about 6-8inches from the edge , and then the cars in the rear look "Normal" :scratch:

to see what rolled fenders are, it's almost easier to show you than explain, but the sheet metal is rolled up instead of being at a 90 degree angle..... it allows for more room to put tires as opposed to rubbing. Look how at the bottom of the wheel well the metal is at a 90 to the side of the car, then a couple of inches upwards it's rolled in.

that's what I'm talkin' about.... it's too bad that there really isn't a way to get 315s all the way around. I had 295's on my '98 all the way around, and didn't go any wider on the back because I didn't want to buy tires in sets of 2..... though it would've been cheaper, it makes for crappy wear.

I popped the boot on the tranny today (In prep for a shifter) and noticed that the shifter assy is bolted from below :scratch: ? This is not going to be as easy as the old cars to replace. Any body got any ideas that seen it? Topnotch?
