They are very nice, but even with the Hp they weight ALOT more. Its a whole different car and very comfortable/classy. Dashwarp is a BIATCH make sure to check the dash for any warp if you want your interior looking prestine.

im discussing with a member there about his actually.

this is the car im hoping to be buying soon if nothing else comes up that intrests me more.



^^^
best part, thats the STOCK OEM body kit and skirts, only a aftermarket lip!
i do know the csvt's are quite a bit heavier, but they have no problem moving that extra weight. hence why there almost 2 full sec's faster then the stock tib times.


i do know this means i probably wont be doing road races anymore, but last summer i never even got out, and dunno if ill even have time this year with 3 jobs. hell, i dunno if ill even get to a local 1/4 mile track anytime soon sadly. getting older is really starting to suck all my spare time away.

It looks kinda nice. I've seen one of those here in Sierra Vista and its red. I think it looks better in red.

Well good luck with it.

Do you have some way of shipping the motor? I was looking online and I can't find any options for >130Lbs and 30"x30"x30" and $150... I am playing with the idea of dropping a new motor in the tib for my nitrous boost. I'm sitting on 70,000 miles and i think i'm starting to get some fuel in my oil. Maybe it's just a better idea to get some new piston rings shipped.

i just started stripping the tib down this morning. almost got everything out, and got the trans pulled to grab my clutch and flywheel.


at this point, im really lost on what car to get. now ive been lookinbg at 2nd gen probe GT's. i owned a 96 pgt for awhile as a daily and really enjoyed it. but im also looking at tibs going up for sale on different sites. truefully ill probably just buy the 1st car that i find i like, and that could be anything at this point.

Not in the looks department, in my opinion. No offence.
