My new Car/License plate Question

[TkrPerformance]

car looks good for the 1st gen. I would dump the rims off of it right a way. I would not put a plate on it. If you do zip tie the thing on to it

Very nice choice John.


Thanks. I was originally looking for a 03 cobra, c5 vette, or a nsx as I was looking to spend $20-$25K. Then my brother called about a local viper for sale for $25k and then I got the idea. I called that one and the tranny was blown, has a salvage title, and was painted with spray paint when fixed and needs a paint job. Needless to say I wasn't interested. I looked around ebay and found this. I didn't think I could find one near my price range but I found it.

The rims are definitly the first thing to go. The car sat most of it's life, only hving 8,xxx miles when I got it, and there are a few cracks in the rear tires. I am most likely going to be purchassing stock chrome rims and tires off a newer viper. The rear tires are 335s and will not be cheap. I don't plan on doing a bunch of burnouts so a decent set of used tires should last me a while.

I just wanted a car where I could have some fun and not have to worry about messing with making it faster. 400 hp and 464 tq in a rear drive should satisfy me for a while.

you can run a 200 shot stock with a 2colder plug

Technically it's not a convertible, it's a targa top with a bad weather soft top since the hard top doesn't fit anywhere in the car. But nice none the less. Apparently mine didn't have the front plate either, but I never got pulled over for it. That was a fun car.

I've always hated the way the soft tops fit, it looks just kinda... "tacked on". Nice car though, I'm sure you'll enjoy it

I don't really like the way they made the top, it is a PITA to remove and install. As soon as I got it back from Texas I took the top off and threw it in the trunk with the windows. I don't plan on putting it back on. I was told that the top didn't fit in the trunk but it does. It is in there now.

Hmmm..... Don't tempt me.....

Nice pick but it seems like the top is sort of mess up.

[john]

There is nothing wrong with the top.

When you have a nice car, you deal with the inadequacies.
