    What size tire can I run on a 15x7 Weld ProStar w/a 4.5" BS?

    Would the 275/50/15 fit w/out a spacer? I'm assuming it would becuase of the narrower wheel. Also, what is the preferred size for the fronts on a 15x7" wheel for street use? I prefer a smaller OD tire, but dont know how to size it.

    If anyone wants my hydro-boost setup I'll give it too them via labor exhange.

    If they put it back to the electric power master that I had. I wish Disco-STU had never talked me into that. It was a brand new unit and he "claimed" that it went bad while at his shop and talked me into a hydro-boots conversion that has never ran right. He had never done it before and dont...

    Killed my stock power-plant - or so it appears. I do not plan on putting it on a track, but would love to give the motor some more balls, as long as reliability and durability is the main focus. Your recommendations are appreciated greatly! Thanks!

    Any recomendations for an Austin, TX shop to convert my GN over to a Tremec T56?

    I just cant stand driving autos, and considering (based on what history I remember of this car) the auto kept it out of the racing series.. I'd like to have mine swapped. I dont have the time, the place, or the tools so I'm going to have to pay someone to do it. If you know anyone in Austin...

    Swap over to a Tremec T56?

    Just wondering if anyone here had done it. I hate automatic transmissions, and would love nothing more than to drop my GN down some to make it handle better and bang gears.

    Austin meet'n cruise night?

    Just putting a feeler out there in-case anyone was interested. I figure if we plan it a few weeks ahead of time we can get a good turnout, anyone welcome, don't have to live here, or be a native Texan. Hell, even if someone didn't have a GN but wanted to come out I'd be happy to let them ride...

    Just got my car back from disco stu... damn.

    I didn't expect it to run so smooth, and make so much power. My car ran, but was plagued with all sorts of little bugs and he went through it stem-to-stern and fixed everything, moding it with alky/chip/injectors and we are running 25psi out of a car that gets 25mpg on the road and idles smooth...

    Anyone in here ever put a Buick V6 in a 911 Porsche?

    Seems like a dream built too me, get a late 70's 930 turbo body kit, but the radiator up front and the inter-cooler in the tail, probably lighter than factory and a good build would make it terrifying on a track. 911 Conversion Pictures

    Trade regular no speaker door panels for 5.25" concert sound door panels?

    Going to put my mid-bass drivers in custom kick-panels, that being said would anyone be interested in trading your plain ones for mine? I thought about putting a 6/4/tweeter setup, but even then I could not use the 5.25" cutout, so I'm going to use a set of Image Dynamics horn-loaded...
