    Detailed my cobra again...Optimum Polish + Blue Natty's (major DUW)

    My precious coat of Souveran went thin on me over the last month, so I decided it was time to do another detail today. I took a bit of a different approach this time: - Wash w/ P21S soap and foam gun - Wolfgang clay on hood and front bumper - Optimum Polish via PC Polishing pad -...

    tire question (again)

    Sorry, I know this is like my third tire thread, but I keep on changing my mind... I decided to sell my 18" bullitt's and bought 2 17x10.5 deep dish bullitt wheels. I will be keeping the stock front wheels/tires. I have a couple of choices for the 17x10.5's... Goodyear Eagle F1 GS-D3...

    almost ready to order tires...

    I've got it narrowed down to 3 choices: 1) Nitto 555's (that's the street tire one, not the DR) for $700 2) Kumho Ecsta MX for $900 3) Goodyear F1 GS-D3 for $1000 Given these 3 choices...which one would you get? Is spending an extra $300 for the Goodyear's really worth it, or would you...

    need tire advice

    I just won a set of 18x9/18x10 bullitt wheels for my car on ebay. I can definitely use some help in picking out the right tire and the right size for these wheels... I want a good summer tire that also does somewhat well (as in better than the stock gatorbacks) in the rain. My car is a...

    wheel/tire advice...

    I'm still having a tough time trying to figure out what size wheels/tires to get. I know I want anthracite bullitt replicas, either in 17" or 18". I have a few options and I don't know which one to go for. Looks and tire/wheel cost factor the most into my decision. 1) Get 2 17x10.5's, 2...

    stock 245/45 gatorbacks on 17x9's

    does anyone have pics of stock 245/45 gatorback's on a 17x9" rim? I'm thinking about doing this, but I'm a bit concerned the gatorback's won't fit too well on a 17x9.

    throttle body help

    well...i'm almost done installing my TB. I'm just having a problem with one part...right above the throttle cable there's another cable with a steel head and exposed braided wiring. When I removed that cable, it came out pretty fast so I don't recall how it fit in there. In any case, I'm...

    arghhh...wheel/tire dilemma

    alright, well I decided I want to keep my stock bullitt's or get bullitt replicas in anthracite, and I want to stick with 17's. Here's the problem... I want to stick with 17x8's and 245/45/17's in the front. As for the rear, I definitely want to go wider. 275 or 285/40/18 would be...

    285/40/17 vs. 315/35/17 on a 17x10.5 rim

    just wanted to get some feedback here...i'm leaning towards getting 285/40/17's on a 17x10.5 rim. Is this a bad idea? And if you have pics of either combo (preferably good pictures where you can see the whole rear of the car), that would be appreciated...thanks!

    good place to get SFC's installed in SoCal?

    can anyone recommend a shop to install some MM full length SFC's, preferably in the San Fernando Valley? I'd rather not take it to just any muffler shop, and X2C motorsports wanted way too much $$$ for it...

    coilovers

    I'm thinking about going with a coilover setup. I already have tokico 5 way's and would prefer not to buy new shocks. I noticed x2cmotorsports has a kit for $200 (front) and $200 (rear). Does anyone have any experience with this kit, or can anyone else recommend a kit that would work with the...

    C&L plenum

    I installed my C&L plenum a couple of days ago. I had clearance issues with the vacuum line in the back and the throttle cable but I fixed it up. The throttle cable is still rubbing up against the vacuum line a little bit, but it's nothing major. That's just about my only complaint. The...

    lower control arm install question

    sorry, very dumb question, but I'm pretty new to working on cars... Am I supposed to be able to remove the control arm pivot bolts without an impact wrench? I've been going at it for a while but they won't budge. If I need an impact wrench, which auto parts stores loan them out (if any)?

    need some rear suspension advice

    I currently have tokico 5 way's and h&r supersport springs, and I'm riding on stock wheels/tires. I don't have any other suspension mods. I have the shocks set at 4 on all 4 sides. The stiffness of the ride is perfect, but the rear end doesn't feel too well when I go over bumps and dips on...

    4.10's are in

    Couldn't be happier. I think it's the perfect gear, and all GT's should come with 4.10's from the factory. I don't take my car to the track, and do a lot of city/highway driving. My RPM's on the freeway in 5th gear are a little above 2500 at 75mph, and about 2750 at 80mph. The car can...
