Welcome to the Community!

White is the best color! :wink:
I'd like to see more pics of both of yours.

The '88 is....interesting. I like the wheels and the headlights are interesting, is that just a cover or do you have Projector/HIDs in there? And either I'm going crazy or the lower part of the front bumper is from another car. Looks good aside from maybe needing paint. What did it come off of?

Welcome!

Just so you know, don't just drop pulley sizes. You need supporting mods to make sure you don't get KR. A scanner or scangauge is also a good thing to have so you can monitor your engine.

Sadly it's a not good wow. Very ricer interior, and I'm not digging the wing.

I like my Aeroforce Interceptor, but it's not the be all, end all. It does its job very well, but there are others out there that also do the job.

Some things I like, others, not so much, but overall I like it :beerchug:

Ever run the '88 down the strip? I am curious as to what it runs, and also how much nitrous are you running?

Seriously or are you exaggerating that number....14 fragged transmission is crazy, I would have given up after the 3rd, lol.

Welcome to the club.
Your 00 has a bit more potential than the 88 but I'm impressed at what you had done to the 88.

That engine looks like turbo material.

Follow our Techinfo and Vendor links. The buy and sell section might score you some good parts.
