    no it was red. i asked rob about it, and he said the guy is on here. had HUGE ass tires, and some pretty sweet rims.
  2. the factory belt is 8 ribs, and with that small of a blower pulley (2.76"), belt slip can be an issue. with the snub idler that mike has (and i have the same one on my car), the belt almost touches itself, and there is zero belt slip. this set-up made 505rwhp/495rwtq on my car with a pretty aggressive tune, a catback, and a K&N intake, with just a boost-a-pump, and mass air booster--that's it--stock headers/cats/etc. once i added injectors, and made the tune VERY conservative, the car made 486rwhp/480rwtq
  3. damn, how did i miss this thread. mike that blower looks sexy as hell--look at all that belt wrap, baby. i'm a fan of black wheels myself, so i say keep 'em black. i may turn up the tune a bit this summer, once i get my x-pipe/wideband installed, but i won't be going big boost until my clutch goes and i have to replace it. by that time, who knows--i've got huge plans for this car, just not right now. we'll have to get all the cobras together this spring sometime once the weather gets better. i just saw hal's for sale post, so who the hal knows what he has planned!! and +1 for the hood vent mod--my vents are flipped open, and i still have the insulation--many people ditch the insulation when they do this mod. i still cover the motor with towels when i wash the car so water doesn't spray all over.
  4. i guess i'll have to try it out.

    lol i had to look up 'murdered out' on urban dictionary just like hal. i guess my cobra could be called murdered out--just need some mild tint
  8. got me on that one. you know what i mean.
  9. i'll never own anything foreign.

    yep twin girls--two of everything--can't even imagine how 'triple threat' on here must feel with triplets
  11. foga de chou (spelling?) brazilian steakhouse, close to the miracle mile. basically a vegetarian's worst nightmare. awesome food, awesome service. probably $65 per person and WELL worth it.
  12. pretty sweet. too bad you're not located out of the city. the light within city limits is terrible for telescopes
  13. +1000 my wife and i were BOTH interviewed once about the snow in columbus by channel 4 in the parking lot of target (lennox), during a snowstorm. when it aired on the news, not only did they not show my part of the interview, but i was cropped out of the picture as well they can pretty much show any part of the interview they want, and it can be spun multiple ways. nevertheless, this can look good for us, as long as everyone follows the rules.
  14. sorry. i wouldn't be grabbing these, but one of my rear tires has not one, but 2 nails in it---very, very slow leak, but the tire shops won't fix it since the nails are so close to each other. instead of paying $300 for two new tires (i wouldn't buy just one) this seems like a good deal. from what people say on ls1gto.com, the nittos should fit just fine. any other 'bigger' 275, like BF goodrich won't fit without rolled fenders/backspacers/etc.

    Its a girl!

    congrats. +1 on saving up for weddings. i have 4 month old twin daughters--the other day we went out to dinner and the first thing our waiter said was "wow, twin girls, better start saving for the weddings". now i have to buy a shotgun as well.
  16. my exhaust set up (for the past 7 years) is the BBK longtubes, BBK off road hpipe, and flowmaster catback. i wanted cats because i was sick of the noise/smell of the offroad setup, and i didn't want to pay $400 for a new catted hpipe. so when i saw the MAC one on ebay, i figured it would fit--not the case.
  17. awe shit. i don't want to have to roll my fenders. my car is not lowered. let me give it some thought, maybe i'll get them this weekend. if they don't fit, i can always throw them on the front of my cobra. i know, drag radials make no sense on the front of a car but fuck it.
  18. they're very good. try a chicken one first if you're not brave enough for lamb. yanni's greek deli up on cleveland ave has some of the best gyros in columbus
  19. i'd like 2 instead of one, they look great, i'll be at the cruise
  20. a honda collector vehicle?? i just pissed myself with laughter. no offense, but the car is not fast in a straight line OR around turns. it just LOOKS capable, but is not. even if i do see one on the road, more than likely i will write it off as a poorly riced out car, and not the true collector car that it is/will be.
  21. can't remember, i'll look for the thread, but he sounded like he just got the car and it was stock--there would've been no reason for him to hold back mods on svtp.com in the 'terminator' section
