Nice brakes ! Just wondering what brand rotors and pads you're going with. I've heard mixed signals about the drilled but always good about slotted. I'm going to up grade mine and just starting to look in to them. I'll be auto X'ing maybe once a month so looking for something good for that but mostly streetable.

Today it failed inspection. Not because of codes, but because the Hooker muffler rusted while the car sat and is loud, plus rattles. I didn't feel like arguing and knew it needed fixed.
Decided on a Magnaflow 12267 to replace the Hooker. The v-band clamps on the FLP headers were kinda loose too. I haven't fired it up yet but they tightened up quite a bit. Hopefully I can find the muffler locally tomorrow and get it welded in. I'm looking forward to putting miles on the bird this fall.
EDIT: I also removed the 6-point harness' and fire extinguisher required for the ORR events.

Like the way this looks. I used to have a red Ford Ranger with with tires with writing that was outlined in white from the manufacturer. I would then take red tire paint and fill in the letters. Used to get a lot of complements doing that.

They are just stock bulbs right now. I have some LED bulbs for them, but the last time I tried them out they started smoking. So I bought new one and need to find out what resistor I need to install to get them to work properly. And I would LOVE a clear 3rd light, but they can't be found. So I'm going to tint mine.
