My car, in "race mode" with pulled swaybars and headlight.

New mods include Bumper Letters and Deep Dish Bullitts with 315/35/17 Nitto DR's

Nice!! I'm thinking of putting 315's on my 98 GT, how do you like yours? Will they fit on a 17x10" or do I need a 17x10.5" rim?

Haven't driven on them too much yet, but I like them alot. The 315 Nittos should fit on a 17x10 as they run a bit narrow.

I intend to. I was going to do it last Saturday, but my springs didn't come in yet. Hopefully I can get it done this weekend.

Nah, dont ruin the car with stripes. (no offense venom, as yours actually pulls them off). Looks mean though with that wide back tire. What times did you run?

I've got a Hood stripe thats going on, the flat black one that MT sells. I've also got a 99 Cobra bumper that I need to get painted, then thats going on.

The only other plans for the exterior after that are 03 Cobra or Bullitt side skirts, and getting rid of the rear spoiler. I like it clean and simple.

The car is lowered, the pulled sways and poly isolators have it sitting higher... I'm debating pulling the isolators since they add a good amount of height.

Best I could pull off was a 15.05@92... this is at 2700 ft though, in 100+ degree weather. Not too bad all things considered. The tires hook like no other!

Or maybe not! Looks like my springs aren't going to be in this week either. I getting alittle pissed about it, but my mechanic only charges me HIS cost on all my parts so I can't complain too much. Haven't thought about putting racing strips on, I'll keep that in mind. I do want to put in some gears though, any recomidations? This is my daily driver so I have to be able to aford gas. I'm thinking 3.90's.

does it kill your tires that bad? I've been thinking about getting the deep dishes for awhile now.

Why does the gap look so big in the back?

They're DR's so they just wear quickly... 15k if I'm lucky, most likely 10k...

I'm trying to figure the gap out myself, I'm thinking its just an uneven surface, becuase the gap definately doesnt look like that in person.
