You know, I actually work at a dealership myself, and I was able to get them cheaper at Discount Tire for the rears. I went on eBay and found an ad with the cheapest price, took it to them, they matched the price and gave me free mount and balance. Should check it out! :beer:

Nice man! & I looked around pretty good not many deals on Michelin lol and nitto I maybe could have got a better deal if I shopped around and the front and rears were like $0.60 a piece apart lol how much you pay for the 305s? Pm me if you want

Looks great! I've debated switching to an mgw but I'm currently running a tri ax with a hurst stick and ball. I like the throwback look.

Looks good man I wanted a black one! & can't wait to paint correct mine in the spring that is one thing I love doing is detailing/paint correcting them.

Yeah that stock shifter is staying for now and yes it will be just a street/show car won't ever see a drag strip or get raced that isn't my style. I might get on it out on the highway now but don't all out racing lol gotta have some fun though :)

Nice ride! And you're right around the corner from me in OH.

Vogtlands are a nice option as well, if it is determined your can't drop extremely low . . .

My Mach . .

ahhh ok cool man. you ever go to the car shows in milford at the krogers? that is usually where we go with some friends on friday night.


And very nice suspension set up. i thought about putting some sway bars on it. we will see i dont want to do too much to it since it is such a low mileage car but i might. And you will love bilsteins man cant wait to get mine on mach. Let me know when you buy bilsteins and for how much i work at car dealer and got mine at a good deal and might be able to do the same for ya.

Will do and thanks! My Mach has ~32K miles.

I sometimes hang out on Sunday's at the Milford Q-Steak, Cars & Coffee on Saturday mornings, and have hung out with some folks on stangtbangerz.com in the past as well. Try to do 1-2 road rallies a season, and used to race the Mach in UMTR at Edgewater in the past. My buddy and I usually just got out for drives on the weekends on the back roads.

No problem! and 32k miles is nothing either!

And I see. you should come over to milford krogers on friday night. Nice nights is usually a good 200+ cars of everything from old rat rods and classics to new/newer vipers, vettes, shelbys etc good mix of stuff. lambos and ferraris show up on occasion too.

And if you guys ever cruise north side of town or up this way let me know i will pull mach out if its a nice day!

thats not bad at all. nitto nt555r right? and to get my hands on those they are like close to $300 a piece. my 265 and 295s were cheaper though think worst case is $275 a tire for mine. might be able to talk them down when they get them in lol plus mount and balance of course but i know a tire company in town that has always done my stuff and will get a decent price there so we are talking close to same money

MGW shifters are too damn notchy and that's why the serious racers don't use them. They opt for the pro 5.0, steeda, hurst or basically any other brand.
