Oh - I didn't know about the link. I am hitting the Spring Fling regardless - and it seems like someone just needs to take ownership and be the keeper of the schedule. Hmmm... Now who would be the wise patriarch of the group? The one we all look up to for guidance, direction, and worldly knowledge? You know, "So let it be written, so let it be done."

My car is at the dealer at the moment, hopefully they will change the fuel pump for the hesitation after long cruise issue. They are taking care of the airbag recall as well.
Also, I just ordered these:
went with 18x9's all around and will use 255/45/18 size tires so I can rotate them.

Yep, I think so too, may have to lower the rear a little like you have done with yours, but I'll deal with that later. I'll have to let the credit cards cool off a little after the wheels and tires are on.

Well I was talking to Seth at Brenspeed today and I asked him about the MDS COPS they sell and if they were worth any ponies. He said that they believe they may improve gas mileage slighty and the car may idle a tad bit better but they are not worth any power at least on a N/A car. So I will look in other directions to spend that $350.00.

Let me know when you sell those Roush rear springs, I'll gladly take them off your hands.
Forgot to mention, I just put on the Steeda under-drive pulleys yesterday, had a buddy help and we used his air compressor to run my impact guns. It took about an hour to do the whole thing.

Air tools make the jobs go alot quicker and easier thats for sure!
The springs will be available tomorrow late evening. Installing the Pro kit/dspecs at work after work.
Im thinking 50 is a fair price

Always better to ask the pros.

Got my J&M UCA today, I think everyone that has a aluminum drive shaft should have to install one of these UCA's....
because this thing is going to be a real ''70MACH1OWNER'' to install ! ! ...
in fact I think since Tom and Scott talked me into buying the shaft they should come over and install this UCA for me this weekend ! ! My female bulldog Tiffany would love to meet Yah !....

I drove it quite a bit yesterday after doing the pulley change, seems to rev up a little quicker, maybe a little bit of a power increase. I haven't put the intake or Bama tunes in yet though, that will be after I get the car back from the dealer. It's staying there over night and I should have it back tomorrow morning. I'll do the intake and tune on Tuesday (my next chance to work on the car) and take it for a spin.

I'm thinking about getting in on the D-Spec group buy before it ends.505.99 shipped with remote adjusters. Then after the CC recovers from that, get my 3.5 inch Shaftmaster shaft.
