Holy crap, now, its not stock just yet, but I took my shifter off today, and the plenum/tb will be off tomorrow night. I just have to say, its nice to have a good running daily driver again. The only thing Im going to need is a pair of flowmasters to get the sound Im going to lose from the prochamber back. Its funny, my dad tried to tell me all along that the stock shifter was fine, and that when you get carried away with modifying the car, it loses it fun/drivability and I always told him "nah, you are used to carbs and crap like that..." How I was wrong. The tune needed some tweaking to keep it from stalling, that never got around to, and the shifter was going to come out anyway, Im just tired of it running like crap, and I just want to pay it off and enjoy it again. I finally am starting to. So for those of you that think you like your aftermarket shifters, eh, I cant say Id put on in unless the MGW is just as smooth and quiet as the stock one, cause it sure is nice not to hear that damn tranny whine anymore...

 

eh...I drive mustang not a lexus

 

Eh, mine runs perfectly fine. lol

 

Eh, its perfect for me now. It has the gears that it shouldve come with from the factory, its still loud enough to make me smile when I get on it, and it drives amazingly. Oh yea, and I still have a kickass-esq suspension on it, so its not all buttery feeling.

 

Remind me again why you're returning it completely to stock?

 

Money = pay it off quicker= get an 03 cobra faster.

 

good choice

 

Why thank you, I thought so as well. I dont care if it takes me 2 years, this way just seems a lot smarter than to keep dumping money into a SEVEN year old car, with almost 100k miles on it.

 

Whatever you say, as long as you promise to sell me your 35th Ann. rims when the time comes.

 

LOL that would detract from the value, how about some black bullitts.

 

7 years old?? i thought urs was pretty new...

but good choice on the cobra!!

 

Thanks but no thanks. I don't think they'd look good on MG.

 

Stock fun? Umm, mine was basically stock for nearly three years. NOT fun.

 

why dont you put a 03/04 cobra motor and t-56 in when you pay it off???? its cheaper

 

Nah, cause then I still just have a GT with 100k miles on it, and then 10k worth of parts. Resell would still be crap. Plus, Im not buying a cobra for the engine and transmission, its the whole package.

 

Matt, you sure you aint a 50 year old man trapped in a 18 year old's body?

 

LOL no, I just have my eyes on the prize right now. I have to hear this guys Cobra whine almost daily here on campus. Tell me THATS not inspiration...

 

LOL 1 million dollars until Im actually ready to sell them...

 

If Greg buys them for that price, will you buy me a Mach1?

 

I really hope that when i go to college next year there are some kick *** cars... i would be very upset if all of Providence, RI was slow... lol

 

Just remember, a couple years from now the the 03/04 Cobras will be a couple years older and beaten on even more. I'm sure if you look hard enough you can find a rare stock or near stock one wth few miles though.

 

what school you going to over there? My girlfriend used to go to school right next to Providence. There were some fairly nice cars. Nicer than near me.

 

No, knowing that I could build a car that could beat his Cobra is inspiration.

 

Yea, I know, thats the only thing that scares me. Ill be paying out the *** for one by then...or just buying a GT500...

 

Im never getting rid of my GT.

 

+1

I've put too much $$ into my car to sell it. The loss would be too great if i did.. Besides, over the past year I had a newfound love for my car. The semi-sleeper effect is actually kinda fun.

However, that doesn't mean I won't buy a Cobra, GT500, or whatever high performance car I choose in the future. But the KB'ed GT stays.
