Unfortunately the links of the subsequent pages dont work. This really sucks becuase I would like to find out more about the garbage characters I have been seeing on my radio lately.

Default I need info

I own a 1998 WS6/automatic. Is there a book or website to help identify specs on this car? I would like to start my modifications but I would first like to know exactly what I have. The car is great in stock form. I don't want to invest in stuff(mainly suspension) if there is no real noticeable gain. Any info would be great.I would like opinions on where to start as well.Thanks

Gerry, the first thing I would suggest you buy are the Helms shop manuals for your car, these will be of great help to you in the future. As for some first mods I'd go with a STB and bolt-on SFC. There's always a big debate about whether the weld-on or bolt-on's are the way to go, but I strongly recommend the bolt-on's SFC and here's a great place to get them from http://www.spectaclesolutions.com/ . Good luck with your ride,

Al

P.S. Just in case you don't know of this web site www.installuniversity.com .

Sorry, I havent been around a couple days.

I havent looked in the owner's manual, if that's what you mean.

Unfortunately, I dont have a Helms manual.
