    Ha, ha, I had a similar steering wheel in my Cobra except that it had woodgrain on it.

    Man, your car is beautiful. I love those rims on the Fox Bodies.

    I have the same steering wheel and LOVE it. This coming from someone who has tried a lot of fancy modern cars too! My real beef is that the tilt steering doesn't move the whole column like in my old 1980 camaro...now that would rock!

    Love that white on black...very hot!

    is that a 14" filter.

    im asking because i have the same K&N exstreme set up. also have what looks to be the same strut bare. my filter doesnt clear the bar. another thing is it looks like its taller. mine rubs the hood to.

    mines also an 83, im still running the stock hood.

    No that's a 11 x 1/2 tall cleaner. It touchs the hood by a hair. My hood has the cut out on it though, anything bigger and I would have had to use a drop base cleaner. I am making a carb pan to seal it to the hood. I'll post pics when I can.

    Your car is set up kinda like mine..Cept I use Griggs and BBK parts..Do you love the Tokikos or do you love the Tokikos?...

    The Tokicos are awesome! Doesn't matter what parts ya use as long as you like your car! Thanks I have put a lot of work into her.

    I knew it!! Ok, not that you worked for steeda but I saw the new catalog and I said, "HEY, that care sure looks familiar!"

    So it was your car. Very cool!

    Congrats, My 83 looks just like it (or did when it was brand new) except for under the hood Its in need of alot of TLC since I saved/bought it from the junkyard.

    Love those 97 Cobra wheels! Your car is a definite inspiration to many, myself included.

    Love your car and I am envious of your employment !

    LOL.

    I was wondering how long it would take for everyone to figure this out.

    The car has been in MM&FF several time's but not as a feature car.
