very nice pics. i have always been a fan of ur car. looks very nice. i like the biggie, small tire combo. and the b&m shifter looks awsome in it. the only thing i would change on it was i would put the tach up on the dash instead of underneath.

cool, I'm thinking about getting 255/60/15's in the back. Do they mess up the handling? I have 205/65/15's in the front. Could you notice a difference performance wise, as the taller tire kinda lowers the gears??

Thanks for any info!

edit: any more pics of the tires??

well i had 235/60/15's all around before and i really cant tell a difference now between the different sizes, turn the wheels in the front takes less turns now to go from side to side.

and i think the taller the tire i think kinda is like doin the cheap way of changin gears but is harder on the gears in the rear. i have 3.23 gears and with the 60 series tire at like 55-60 im at about 2500 rpms to almost 3000 rpms so i guess it did change it a bit. becuz for those rpms i would have 3.42 gears in the rear but i dont i have 3.23 gears so it change it a bit.
