    On the road again! Brake advice and pictures!

    I'd had three alternators replaced in as many months and back in March the car did it's possessed by Satan thing while I was leaving the shop who had "finally" fixed the thing. Anyway- I was so mad at the car that I just let it sit for the last few months. I finally figured I should just sell...

    Advice needed for my GT500..

    Hi Guys: I've decided to keep working on making my GT500 the best handling most fun car I can. I've always wanted it to be a race car for the road- and after the suspension work that I've done, the NT01 285/40/r18s on all four corners on 18x11s, it's there. We did the TVS upgrade, with a new...

    New wheels and tires on my ‘08

    Hi guys: Just figured I’d check in. I swiped s guard rail on the 805 a few weeks back trying to avoid someone merging into me. I had ordered a set of custom CF5s in 18x11 as track wheels but they were still a few weeks out at the time and I really didn’t want to use them on the street anyway. So...

    New 18x10 square wheels with NT01s

    it’s coming along! We got the 18x10 square set up on the thing with Nitto 275/40/18 NT01s. I’m thinking it’s sitting a bit low and it’d benefit from being able to use a bit more of its suspension travel. I’ll adjust the struts in the morning and see. The tire and wheel combo looks great to...

    72lb Bosch Injectors $450 shipped

    Hi guys! I bought these on this forum when I bought my TVS. They've never been installed and are still shrink wrapped in the original package as they came to me. Foir whatever reason, my shop wanted to use their own ID1050x injectors instead of these....and I didn't feel like pushing it with...

    Quick Update on my TVS and a steering wheel question.

    so my build saga continues! we blew up the clutch on the dyno putting out about 18 pounds of boost with the TVS and the smaller pulley so a new RXT is going in tomorrow and we're going to put the stock pulley back on. My guys say it's going to be safer, still get me plenty of power, and is the...

    Hi Guys: My name is Craig and I just bought a 2008 Alloy Clearcoat Metallic Grey GT500 with silver stripes. It's got 58,000 miles on it, some dumb "Elenor" style body accessories like window louver and fake rear fender brake scoops- but I think I got a good deal on the thing. It's got brand new...
