Do you have any trouble with rubbing?? I need tires and they look just plain BAD ASS!!!
Tiltedhalo

No they don't rub, you could probably fit a 255 50R 16 up front with about half a pinky width clearance, the backs are as close as you can get at 265 50 16.

That's a beautiful car right there, and I would say that even if I didn't own a black Gen 2 LSC.
BTW, how much time on the paint job? And what did you have to do prep wise to keep the costs down? Was it base/clear, or lacquer?
Looks like the intake was painted a gloss black? Either that or it's cleaned to all get out, either way it looks very nice. And I'm loving the tires myself.
Nice Cobra emblem. Any idea what kind of numbers the engine is putting up atm?

Sanded down the bad clear coat, shot it with sand and fill, wet sanded and sent it of to Maaco for a single stage Dupont Poly. Three days start to finish.
The air intake is a stock one that I cut and modified to fit the cobra intake, its fiberglass and painted.
Well I put down 282RWH before I bumped up the compression to 11.3 to 1, adjusted the cam timing and modified the intake. I have not had it on the dyno yet and probably wont if it runs like I want it to at the track.

Very sweet looking ride! Love the wide rears, gives the car a very sinister look to it. Great work.
I am into mine about $5500 but no engine goodies or fresh paint. Just the car purchase, tires, brakes, stereo and a new MAF meter. One day I hope mine is as nice as that one though.

Well two months before I bought it it recieved a coil conversion setup, blend door mod, new coils, new injectors, new fuel pump, new headlights, new ballast, all new front end bushings with polly where he could, new ball joints, tie rods, rear sway bushings and new rear brakes.
I had to do a complete new front brake kit (wish I would have bought the Cobra kit), P/S pump, tires and thats it in the last 30,000 miles. No errors or codes.
The stereo is also a full nav touch screen system with DVD and all Boston speakers with an Xtant (first gen) amp.
