Well… i dont really post here alot, but id figure i better start… back in Dec my tranny took a crapper after my tranny cooler line “fell” off during me driving it. So far i’ve got a new tranny, put a shift kit in, a mark viii torque converter+flywheel, got an A pillar guage pod with a volt guage and tranny temp, a frpp rear end and some pieces here and there. If i dont hit high 14’s with this im goin to be pissed (hahahaahahahahah, hey its a 3800lb car, what do you expect?) just some pics… ![http://students.cup.edu/guy6046/temp.jpg](http://students.cup.edu/guy6046/temp.jpg) ![http://students.cup.edu/guy6046/guages.jpg](http://students.cup.edu/guy6046/guages.jpg) ![http://students.cup.edu/guy6046/rear.jpg](http://students.cup.edu/guy6046/rear.jpg) ![http://students.cup.edu/guy6046/torque.jpg](http://students.cup.edu/guy6046/torque.jpg) and for those who dont know what my car looks like (everyone) ![http://students.cup.edu/guy6046/car3.jpg](http://students.cup.edu/guy6046/car3.jpg) ---

cobra r’s are what i originally wanted, but everyone has them and there is a potential rubbing issue w/ a 17x9 rim which i dont want to deal with. Oh and tires cost an arm and a leg… and another arm… ---
