Default Pics of the car are up...

Registered for rankmyride.com to join up with nineball and the crew so I have some pics over there under Blk98Bird. Wondering what your guys' opinions are on the pedals in the interior picture. I got them for free so I decided to try them out but I think they might be a bit ricey and billets might look much nicer...can't decide...

On a side note, I've never ran my track but i'd like to put some estimated info up at least. 98 m6 with lid, cutout, ripper shifter, nittos, subframes, free mods, ported tb, 4.10s...what kind of neighborhood of times/mph/hp/tq am I looking at roughly?

It would be a lot easier if you posted a link directly to it!

Yeah the engine is my next project once I have some time. What do you guys think of those pedals? Ditch them for billets?

Very comfortable actually unless i'm just used to it by now . Can't remember the part number, but I actually saw it at a local pep boys last summer when I was in there to buy oil/filter for a change. Figured i'd give it a try to see how the chrome/carbon looked with the charcoal interior and it seems to blend really nice. Subtle but different. The only problem is it wasn't made to fit on a ripper shifter too well and the set screws kept coming loose so I had to use a little bead of metal epoxy on the inside to keep it secure. Still removable though, just takes some effort.

I do think i'm going to ditch the pedals though, wanted to try them just in case however!

Also, anyone have any tips as to where I could start with my engine bay? I'll be back from college for over a month with some time on my hands...

I was thinking maybe some red loom on some of the wiring to keep with the color scheme and clean things up a little.
