Default Greetings from Orlando

Hey guys I'm Rob and a first time poster here in Orlando. I just traded my 92GT for a 2000GT about 3 weeks ago and I found my way over here from a corral thread. I see a few of you guys are in Orlando and like to chill so I figured I'd post up.

My car looks like crap right now but its a work in progress and I really like it. Money is the big limiting factor. Heres a pic before I slapped in the foglights. I got a shaker scoop and working on getting the Mach hood from a guy on the Mach Registry forum so I cant wait for that.

The guy on the registry is mach1wannab. He says he bought the hood from another member over there and changed his plans on his 99 Cobra. I'm waiting for him to get it boxed up for shipping. I hope it works out for me as I'm having a hell of a time finding one otherwise.

Nice ride bro. The only thing I can complain about is the 4x4 look with that Cobra front end, I'd definitely be getting some H&R springs to lower that bad boy then you're all set.

The DD's in the back look like sex on that car.

Yea its got the 4X4 stance, but I really dont feel like messing with it because of alignment, bumpsteer, and ground clearance problems (not to mention $$$$). Also keep in mind it will look more lowered if I get the chin spoiler that belongs on there.

I normally hate Cobra R style wheels but these really work for me, love the DD look. I need to get some real street tires for it though because rainy season is coming up and those Nitto DRs are not needed for a daily driver.

Honestly my car is dropped an 1.5" and I've never had a problem. I aligned it myself with string at jack stands. The bumpsteer and ground clearance are no problems at all, think about it. The stock cobra sits low as well so there can't be any issues. Money wise I think it's the best "show" mod that you can do as well as giving you a tighter feel handling wise and I can say everyone on here will agree.

Nitto DR's definitely aren't needed on a stock car. Nice, but not necessarily needed. I love those DD's though, they look different from regualr Cobra R's too.

Welcome! You should come to our next meet (as soon as we plan it).

What made you trade the '92 for your '00?

Well as much as I am a fox body fan, and I liked my 92 but I got a good deal trading it with a friend of mine that I used to work with. This is just a better all around car. I've been wanting one of these body style cars since they came out but didnt have the money for one. I'm going to miss cruising with the top down to Daytona and stuff but I'm happy with my choice. Still got my 87 never ending project car so I didnt give up the foxes.

Funday Sunday would probably be cool but I pretty much always work sundays.
