I think I'm going to end up keeping this tainted b*tch, so it's time to get off my butt and make her better. I have a on-going checklist of stuff I want to accomplish before years end:
- rim change coming soon. Don't ask, you'll have to wait and see
- front suspension refresh: new a-arms, new bushings, new ball-joints and new endlinks so I can finally give her a decent alignment
- exhaust change. The Stingers are getting abit loud and making my car too noticable. I may switch to a *gasp* chambered muffler
- smog. Sadly, the time has come for California registration
- heater core replacement before winter
- re-tint the windows
- new seats
alot to do, but with work kicking into high gear (moved to a busier fleet shop in the east bay), it'll all be done

Sounds good man. Go Bassani! Grab a catted X from them too to be smog legal. Corbeau GTSIIs would look great in your interior (same seats I will eventually own, and will match the factory rear cloth seats in your car). I need to redo my whole suspension too. You just got wheels and tires!

Haha well, ahem...shoot me a PM. My smog will be due pretty soon, and I'm tired if having 4 cats...
I know a couple local guys running the Summit seats. They are great for the price. I just don't want the vinyl, but I've seen some very similar in black or red cloth on eBay. You ever go to Maier Racing in Hayward? One of their customer/shop cars is an 03 GT that's all tricked out. Full MM suspension, KB, wide body, etc. I think the owner's name is Ricardo. His car is featured on their website (silver GT), but yeah he runs those same seats. Or well he was last time I saw it haha!

they're going up for sale. Unfortunately, if you want them, there's seriously 4 people already lined up for them. It'll be a few weeks though. I'm spreading the reminder of the rims through my next paycheck

Normally, I enjoy ordering parts off Summit's website.....
New Ford Racing throwout bearing and a new Ford Racing clutch fork are on the way to replace the pile of dog doo that's in the bellhousing now

Throw out bearings blow. The day I put my new clutch kit (king cobra) in the 94 the bearing started squeaking. I still haven't gotten around to fixing it. I just rest my foot on the pedal.
