Default My T/A

Hi everybody! I'm kindof new here and wanted to show off my baby. Shes a 98 that i picked up a few months ago. I wasnt really lookin for another car at the time but drove by her one day and saw that it was an automatic and turned away. A few days later I called on it just to see what they wanted for her and found out that I had actually seen the car hundreds of times before. It belonged to an olded lady that lived by my old high school, and i walked by it just about everyday for years. I also found out that it only had 49 k on the clock and they wanted 9 grand, which i thought was a steal but was able to talk them down to 77 hundred. Anyway when I bought her she was totally bone stock. Not for long, tint, eibachs, slotted n drilled rotors, catback, slp air induction kit, 18in Z06s wit Nittos, strut brace, indash dvd, JL audio, ect... Right now i got new plugs, wires, long tubes, off road y, pulleys, and fan controls ready to go on in the next couple weeks. Man i cant wait. So whats next? Im thinkin subframe connecters, drive shaft saftey loop, around a 3000 stall and a tranny cooler. Im going for a well balanced car here!!!! What ya think???

The white car is my younger brothers girl friends. I hate and love that car. I love it because its mint, supercharged, n has about every mod u can think of on it. I hate it because its not mine n i had a chance to buy it a few years ago from its previous owner, but i was in college n had no spare money. The wheels r 18in but im not really sure what they r. U use to beable to get them on tireracks website but there not on there anymore. If i remember correctly they were pertty affordable, like 130 to 160 a piece. I think the brand of the wheels started with a "M" but i cant remember the name of them.

Hell ya man, that's a ******* STEAL for an LS1 in mint condition like that!

You should donate your stock rims to the "Formula needs to get rid of these ugly *** salad shooters" foundation

That White Bird isn't Brendah's is it? o_0 The rims on it look like GTO's heh Not bad looking I don't think.

Those rims are Sport Edition KV5s or Mille Miglia EVOs. I can't tell from the pic, but I'm betting on the Mille Miglias because of the red center cap. I know of these rims because the guys at Clubgp.com go crazy for them.

Mille Miglia EVOs!!! Thats what there called.
Got my long tubes on sunday. Damn it sounds mean, i love it. But now my engine light is on because none of my o2s are hooked up. I need to extend the front ones and weldin bungs on the off road y to hook up the rears. A friend of mine says that the engine light might still come on because of the readings the o2s will get with no cats. Does anyone have any experience with this? I have the hedman long tubes and their 3 in. y.

You need to have an O2 simulator for the rear plugs and a tune to get the most out of your headers. It will run like crud if you don't.

Usually there are some floating around the Parts for Sale section. They're usally about $50 a pair used, seems like they are about $100 new.
