Here She Is!!!
Well I just got done installing my Mach 1 grill delete, custom pony, and removing the air silencer on my weekend driver, aka, moms car lol. Anyways, her car and my car are a little dirty, so disreguard that, but let me know what you think. I still have to install her SS inserts when they come, as well as her custom license plate cover when her license plate comes in. I'd have mine on in my pic had my $60 freeking dollar custom MGW cover didn't go bye bye last week when my whole license plate assembly broke off somewhere between my house and New Orleans, had to be two and a half hours late to work because I had to go to the DMV and get a new license plate, then come home and buy another MGW cover, so it will be back on soon. Hopefully in my next pics I'll have my Saleen side skirts on and custom fender flares. I'm gonna try to get both painted this week, and, if I'm lucky, installed.
Also, after removing the air silencer and having it coupled with the K&N, I noticed the car got a little more responsive down low, nothing big by any means what so ever, but there was a litte something there that wasn't before. Anywho I took the car out for it's first "straight away challenge". OK, there is a strip of road that's just under a 1/4 mile long, however, due to the fact that the road turns both into, and out of this slightly shorter than 1/4 mile straight away, it's impossible to run the 1/4, but you can still have fun with it. Rules are simple, pull into the straight away at 15-20 (works better at 15), and run till you "feel" it's time to break before having to turn (usually just over 3/4 the way through), person with the fastest MPH reading wins. For reference, my old 98 struggled to break 80 MPH, and that was running extremely dangerously to the end and having just enough time to break and make a 75 degree turn at around 45 MPH. I took this car up to 80 MPH with ease, could of probably pushed it up a hair more if I was really daring, but don't want to do that just yet. Not bad, but Salena is still the fastest, by far, comming in at 92 MPH.[8D]

RE: Here She Is!!!
Just for chits and giggles I took pictures of my front/rear brake system as I don't have a pic of them yet.
