Thank you! Brings back memories as that was my very first mod...now I'm just hoping it fits on my 102mm throttle body that's on the way!

Question Grill color

I hope to get some better pics this weekend... So my original intent was to paint the grill grey to match the stripes. But I was on the fence, and the body shop i brought it to recommended to match the black. I like it, but was hoping to make it a little more differential...

Anyone think i should repaint it to match the grey?

Royal Purple May 2013

BTW, i finally uploaded videos from my last trip to the track. Lots of opportunities at the moment. I just received my RX Super Chiller, my TPiS should be here any day...Bogarts may be a while...may end up w/one more trip to the track before making the jump to slicks...

Yes, it is nice living in Texas for many reasons. Summer heat not one of them, but I expect the rx super chiller to help with that. I think most folks in California hold on to their stock cats when going to inspection. Sorry to hear about your son, I try to keep safe...roll bar, fire extinguisher, etc. and I generally drive sane when I'm sharing the road.

Thanks! I certainly didn't have plans to do it in my first year, but shit happens like an arp balancer bolt snap in the crank and you have to do what you have to do . I have to admit, in hind sight it was my favorite costly mistake I've ever made. . My wife thinks I did it on purpose...

How much did the cradle bushings change the handling characteristics on your ride? I'm thinking of doing it but I want to make sure it makes a great difference.

I made so many changes in a short amount of time I'm not really sure how it impacted handling. Certainly no negative impact.

As I recall, they aren't very expensive. I bought them 6 months before installing. I recommend if you are racing to buy and then wait for a good reason to drop the cradle. While it is down, install them.
