This is the first time I've tried to post pics, so we'll see if it worked. Just wanted see what other TC drivers might think. Its an 88 with a little over 100K, bought it a year ago. I haven't done many mods yet The following is what I've done.

Mods:
Auto swap to a T5
Star Stage 2 Clutch from Scott (S&R)
Gillis Boost Valve set between 15 and 18psi for now
Walbro 255LPH Hi Pressure Fuel Pump
3G Alternator
Just put on ATR SS Cat Back 2.5" Dual exhaust, still need to do the downpipe (what a difference already)
Voxx JB 18" x 8" wheels
Bridgestone S03 Pole Position Tires
245/40/18 (Handles Great)
Eibach lowering Springs
Lots more to do......

Problems:

Maybe you guys could help on some...
Lots of body noises "clunking", from me driving it too hard. Complete set of body bushings?
My right rear PRC shock is leaking oil pretty bad, all the rest seem to work good, any where to get replacement adjustable ones. If not what are the best good firm handling.
Slow moving pass window.

And not enough power yet but i have a spare engine when i have time i would like to build a 400HP motor T3/T4 combo if thats possible.

Thanks for all the help to date.

very nice looking car, I would say one of the best looking I've seen. I'm partial to black ones.

Looks very nice.

Can you tell me a little more about the rims?
I'm would like to know what the backspacing or the offset is.

Thanks
Brent

The only problem I have ever run into is if the picture was too large (over 500k) or I already had 10 pictures in the file, so I have to delete some to post a new one.

Thanks for the compliments. The wheels are 18" and they are Voxx wheels, JB (Model) and I got them from www.discounttiredirect.com. I believe they were the last set or one of the last sets about 10 months ago. Maybe they would know the backspacing, and other dimensions. I just made sure they would fit an 88 mustang and then i figured they would fit. I don't miss cleaning the stock wheels thats for sure. As far as the pictures I just had to crop them so they would be smaller than 500K. Any ideas about the body noises and replacement or PRC shocks/struts.
