    Whats the best tire combo for a 17/8 rim

    I have 17/8's and asked Steeda about how wide I could go. They suggested that I shouldn't go past 255/45/17 as you don't want the side wall ballooning out past the shoulder of the rim very far as it will not be supporting the tire properly which will contribute to increased sway and poor...

    2003 GT plastic intake manifold failure

    Sounds like the perfect time to find out about the new Performance Plus Typhoon 2V aluminum intake manifolds, they're supposed to be available soon and cost about $550 for the satin finish or $700+ for the polished version. Also the FFRP Bullet aluminum intake could be a way to go though is...

    Suspension swap from GT to V6

    Good suggestions I think the best thing to do after reading all the replies is to advise my son to save his money and modify with suspension designed for his car. Thanks for all the feedback.

    Exhaust

    I agree LT's will make a big difference in making power! BBK ceramic coated are great!

    5 Speed Maintenence

    My son put a Steeda tri-ax in his 2002 GT and had a lot of annoying vibration sounds coming up throught the handle. I have a B&M ripper shifter in my 2003 GT and it is super. Solid short throws, no missed 2nd to 3rd. Great shifter!

    Suspension swap from GT to V6

    My son has a 1999 V6 5sp and I have a 2003 GT 5sp. I have changed springs and struts/shocks in my GT(only had 12K miles on them), and saved for my son's car. Will those components improve the handling in my son's V6, or is it a mis-match due to weight differences? Thanks

    Springs!!!????

    Steeda Sport Springs OK I had Steeda install their sport springs and have been very happy with them. You also may want to consider shocks and struts to match the new spring rates...I had Tokiko Illumina 5 way adjustables put on and seems to be a good match-up. Also when you drop the car you...

    Have around $1000 for some Mods

    Think long tubes After the cold air intake and gears, I found that long tube headers with proper X-pipe and good cat backs made the most noticable difference in performance. I did alot of other bolt-on's ...plenum and T/B, underdrive pulleys, and SCT tune at Steeda....all added a bit here and...

    Camber problem

    C/C plates ect. I had Steeda install their 4bolt C/C plates as well as their ball joints and bumpsteer kits when I had my springs replaced with Steeda sport springs. They did the alignment and have had no problems, car tracks correctly and tire wear is even. Bunch of $$ though.

    2000 3.8 with high clutch peddal release

    Hi everyone, this is my first post in the V-6 section. My son just got a 2000 3.8 coupe with 5 sp. The car is in great shape with 41K miles on it. I have a '03 GT 5sp and when comparing V-6 the clutch peddal travel to mine, it seems to release very high in it's travel. There doesn't seem...
