Default Questions & Confused.

http://www.americanmuscle.com/speed-...tor-94-04.html

This works for 99-04 manuals, i have a 00 auto switching to manual so after the swap will this work for the calibration?

Also, i am interested in the cobra style black chrome wheels, anyone seen if they look good? also i wanted to find 17x9 in the front and like 18x12 in the rear or so, and i cant find them anywhere.

Yes to the programmer
Why do you want to go 17x9 in the front and 18x12 in the back??
Just go 17x9 in the front and 17x10 or 10.5 in the back.

Get the calibrator if you want to just change the gauge and are on a budget. But I also recommend getting a tuner as it will do the same thing and will give you the most bang for your buck on your bolt ons.


Go ahead and toss 17 in the front and go for broke and toss 19 on the back, with some wheel spacers and toss some Spinners on. O, and for max pimp points toss on some streamers like the ones on a bike handlebars and some Neon LED valve caps.

Just messing with you, bigger tires in the back do look better, IMO.

DID I read right, your swapping from a auto to a manual? You know what all that takes right?

I know it takes a transmission(believe its a t-5), bellhousing,pressture plate clutch, flywheel, driveshaft, driveshaft yoke, short throw shifter, boot, ****, and a computer flash correct?
And im not like going pimp lol, i want 17x9 and 18x10.5 i just wanted to make sure that in the rear you can tell there wider, not just a "oh, well they do look a little bigger now that you said so".

We usually go 17x10.5 and 18x10 for the rears, but we just started making the wheels in my avatar in 17x10... But if you looking for 18x12, I guess I am going the wrong way.

03sixbanger - We've been here for a week and just now put 1 and 1 together about the "MFer" business. Wow, I thought everyone here just used a lot of bad language.

Our banners etc were suppose to be up by Wednesday.. Still waiting. PM me and let me know how we can help you out.
