  • Bye bye matrix

    I've switched to the dark side, or would it be considered switching back to the light?

    I traded the trix in for an 03 Mustang GT. [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]

    Not sure of the mods, but it deffinatley has a short throw shifter, and feels like a race clutch. Deffinately much faster then the matrix.

    I take delivery of it on Monday, and will get some more pics of it then.

          Well, the wife got a huge promotion, why not step up a notch. Car seat fits with plentyof room. And we'll have enough money for a sedan in cash by January.

                              Oh yea, I had looked at the car on thursday, and they dropped 2k off in negotiations. I said I'll think about it and be back.

                              I went back on friday to make sure the trunk was big enough to haul my A/V equipment for my business, and the sticker on the window dropped another 1k...3k off the starting price yesterday. I walked in and said I'll take it.

                              The original price was almost 20k, I got it for just under 17k before TTT. I hate freakin waiting, but didn't have time to do all the paperwork then, and the only time I'm able to get it done, is on monday morning before work.

                                At the end of Part Three, we changed the valvetrain of the 3.8-liter V6 in the Tom Henry RS. We installed new, Yella Terra "Ultralite" 1.8:1, aluminum roller rocker arms, Katech valve springs and Katech titanium retainers on our 3800 Series II V6.
                                Ultralites are nearly 25% lighter than the stock 1.6 rockers and 8% lighter than the SLP aluminum...
