Yessir. One good thing about the 98's is they have a larger fuel system than the 99-00, so you can make more power without running out of fuel.

so i just went out to my car to investigate that wierd "ticking" noise it was making at the right rear....and i think i figured it out....the chrome on the inside of my wheel was flaking and brushing up against the caliper....so i peeled the flaking parts off and scraped it as smooth as i could......took it for a quick test drive and the noise was gone...hopefully that was it...

I didn't make it out anyhow I got caught up in modding my V1's concealed display. It turned out pretty slick, I have it inside the A/C vent so you don't see it well unless you are looking for it. Although it did take me a good many hours and the Fiance was not amused on her Friday night!

I'm going to need help doing my gauge install on my GTO, I dont really feel comfortable drilling or tapping or removing a plug for my oil pressure sending unit. I also have never did any actual wiring in a car EVER. So anyone want to volunteer?Im doing a air fuel, oil pressure, and voltometer. I should be getting the hardware around the 15th of next month.
