TPI SBC refresh with G6 6 speed trany upgrade (Page 14/16)

Just to keep this alive. Nothing too new. It went from FL to MI and back for the 25th without problems. I finally finished these and installed them. The only other thing I plan for this car are some 13" brakes and the low profile double round headlights.

Hey this is up! I only have plans for two more things. One is a set of low profile headlights (Fierofan?) and a big brake kit. But I heard Fieroaddiction is not selling more of those so will have to wait for some other to come up.

I receive more PMs on that question than anything else. Those are TSW Kyalami 18x7 42mm front and 18x9 35mm rear. Tires are 225-40-18 and 265-35-18.

Probably because you do the best job of almost anybody on the forum in getting the right size and the right stance on both of your cars.

I didn't know this was still active. The only thing I need on this car is a brake upgrade. It really doesn't stop well.

I'll bet.

I remember the first time I drove my '88 after I got the 4.9 running, I got on the gas and it gathered speed much faster that I had anticipated, almost ran over the car in front of me when he stopped short, I'm adding 'Vette rotors be fore the Northstar swap is done.

Your car is lookin' good.

That's so true. But that is the key big ($$) item. The othe one I had and was finished were the low profile headlights. I need to post pics of that. So no more for this for now. The yellow one needs paint but that will have to wait too. The white GT is sucking the budget pretty fast!
