I think blackout panels look better on white than any other color...and I have one! Looks great.

Shifter ,
Off-Road H ??
4.10s
C&L........ come on it's only money.


I had something other than the MGW, the Hurst. While it looks great it didn't function as well as the MGW. The price may seem like a big hurdle but it's well worth every single cent. Don't settle for second best . But if you want a Hurst, I know someone with a used one that will sell it cheap !!
Thanks for the compliment. I'm actually looking into the gt500 spoiler and then the shaker (trying to find one used) from there...the mgw short shifter with the classic shift **** to match

Ray - You're absolutely right. I never planned on starting mods this soon. Peer pressure works

kh765 - Thanks for the compliment

Leo - As for stripes: Don't plan on any. I'm sure the shaker will round out the look that I'm going for.

Well....just came back from a pinks run with Jed, TacoBill and his fam... Looks like it's becoming tradition brought one hot dog home for the morning

The look on superfly's face............ PRICELESS!

I will volunteer myself to be your sponsor Luis, because you are now addicted to modifications. Your mind is going to go but don't worry, in the end it's all .

Tonights the night. Going to the track to see if the new tires will stick enough for me to go down the track. If all goes well I hope to report a new all time best et. Hoping for an 8.3 as that will put me in the 12 sec bracket. Can gears, ds, lcas/lca relo's take off 3 tenths? I guess I'll find out.

My adrenalin is pumping just thinking about it. I always love the first run of the night. I get butterflys and my adrenalin goes through the roof. After that it only comes back if some car I really want/need/should beat is next to me.

Leo - interested to see what you get at the track. Sounds like fun Once I hit the 3k mile mark, I plan on going. Pretty excited/nervous about it.

Beware that will only make your addiction to mods that much greater. You'll be at the track thinking gosh what can I get next to drop a few tenths. Tons of fun though. Maybe you can get the sissy man Tacobill to join you. I've been nagging him to since I can remember.

Good Luck Leo! You should be able to tear that track up with the new rubber!! We should plan a POTR track night at your track or even irwindale. I would love to get out on the track! Maybe we can get Jed and TB to go

As soon as I get tires I want to head down there. I miss the thrill !!!!
I've stayed away because I know the stock tires are useless to even try. Heck they're useless now !!! That and I want my own helmet.

Is the next one in march gonna happen ?? maybe I can get 1/2 off and head out.


Oh and Luis, ya gotta hit the track at least once in your life. The description that Leo gives is pretty spot-on. It's a blast!

Dang, you guys make me sick..... going to the track tonight??

We've had 2.5" of rain here this week but now the temp is dropping into single digits, so as I sit here the snow is falling and covering the water on the ground, which is now officially all ICE.

Anyway, pity party over...... good luck Leo.

I think you'd be fine with the stock tires. Mainly because you have a manual so you can modulate the rpm's for take off. Either way hurry up and get new tires and come down. If you get the S/C and don't have slicks don't waste your time.
