not quite sure. Never seen "graphite" but evidently there is a enough for him not to send me the part and refund the money I already spent

Back on topic again.....


Got the new High Flow Cali legal Magnaflow cats installed. Talk about a pain in the rear.... I of course wanted to keep them bolt in, so we cut out the old, and had to cut and measure, cut and measure, for like 3 hrs, but we finally got it finished. They opened up the tone a little bit, but it feels like the car is running 100% better.

Found out what was up with the stereo, the RCA cables in the back of the deack were touching each other grounding out the whole system. Its all fixed now too.

Ordered the Strano rear air springs for the car. Aryn hooked me up with a great deal, and I will definitely be going back there for any other parts I want. Great customer service.

Thanks for the link mate, They look good! But my favourite combo for a road trak car is coilovers, they give you loads of adjustment.

Sory i dont have a link in reguards to your shifter. But i would love to help. How does the shifter fit to the ripshift gate and does the gear *** screw on??

Here from you soon, cheers ben.

Call it what you wish, but I ran a set of Firestone Ride right bags on my lowered Harley F150 and it was fantastic. The rear of the truck was stiff when i needed it, but soft during normal driving. Im not going to be racing this car or taking it to the track, its going to be a looker. Nothing more. As i have said many times, the car is fast enough, I just want it to ride as good as it looks. Not stiff or anything, just soft and smooth. Those airbags did it for the Harley truck, so I'm testing out these to see if they provide the same thing.
