    86 SVO bucking and hopping

    I just got my old SVO back but it has a small problem. It runs like crap, it will start and run for about two seconds then die. Once it gets warm it will idle but not smooth.

    17" or 18" Shelby wheels?

    I am about to buy some Shelby wheels for my GT. I cant decide if I want 17 or 18" wheels. The 17s are 17x9 and the 18s are 18x9.5. What are the biggest tires I can put on each without rubbing issues? Will the 18s fill the wheelwell better or will there really be a noticable difference?

It is not even a Cobra so there is no way it is a pace car. He is saying it is a festival car. Will someone please post a link to...
