Thanks for the feedback. I wish they still had the certified usernames. Don't get me wrong it's nice to come on here and get random opinions...but you know what they say about opinions. There's no way to know if the advice you're getting is from a 16 year old kid who just changed his first part last week and now he's telling you how to do it.
Some people might think that sounds rude of me...but I'm not trying to be rude. I'd just like to know what the extent of experience is of the people I'm getting advice from.
For example almost everybody on here will tell you to lower your car, but many of them don't know what to tell you to watch out for when you do it. Other necessary part swaps to keep it safe, comfortable, and really maximize the performance of lowering a car. So when I ask about stuff like that I'm a bit unsure of the responses I get.
BTW...your car is sick man. I like the black hood on the red body, it looks ultra clean.

Well I had put my shades tree skills to work today .
Optispark is out of the Corvette and what a disaster the shape of it was.
Really surprise the car was still running.
Figured I share the pics of the condition if you know about these units.
pretty much running on 3 of 8 cylinders and rotor was about to let go
BTW.. This job "IS NOT" for the inexperienced by no means if you dont know what youre doing.
Enjoy ..Sorry its not a Mustang but its on topic ... Kinda
..And must agree
