Newbs ride

**01RaptorTA** · 03-12-2007, 02:07 PM

Just posted up my new member thread, thought i'd throw up some pics of my ride as well. She's a 2001 TA auto. Ive had her for 4 days and gone through 3 tanks of gas

Any idea on what system would have those tips? It has aftermarket catback, just not sure of what company..

Nice ride and wecome to the site. By looking at the tips it looks like a B&B system, kinda hard to tell without muffler pics.

nice car man it looks real good.. but you need a sportline kit stat! or a pro kit pends on how low you wanna go

**01RaptorTA** · 03-12-2007, 05:29 PM

Thanks guys. I'd love to lower it but the roads around here would beat the hell out of my plastic lol. First couple things i plan on doin are an SLP 375hp kit, gears, and nitto 555s.

Go with the nitto 555s they are grate ! But from what I have gone through try avoiding anything from SLP, only part that has gone right that i have bought from them was my lid and thats it...nice bird btw

Thanks for the heads up. I actually have a set of nitto NT555Rs sitting in my garage that i had taken off the mustang before i sold it. But i'd like to get a newer set for the strip and use the others as a DD tire.

If you want strip tires BFG's would be a better way to go than nitto's. Nice looking ride.

**01RaptorTA** · 03-24-2007, 11:20 PM

Eh i've heard about the same feeback from both. I had the nittos on the stang when i bought it but bought some more daily driver friendly tires to put on. I just wish they fit the trans am lol. Anyone want to buy a set of 315/35:17 nittos??

**INMY01TA** · 03-25-2007, 05:36 PM

Nice, I'd lose the blue wire loom tho.

**01RaptorTA** · 03-25-2007, 07:46 PM

Eh.. it looks a lot better in person when the flash isnt going off, it reflected all the light. Believe it or not they're actually a dark blue lol.

Sportline is more of a drop than the ProKit.

**01RaptorTA** · 03-26-2007, 05:05 PM

Hmm i dont want it too low, i do a lot of driving around town. Places that would no doubt tear up my underbody. But i would like it lower, the 19s make it look like its got a damn lift kit lol

**ATCharming** · 03-26-2007, 07:27 PM

i really like the rims.

**01RaptorTA** · 03-26-2007, 07:28 PM

Thanks, me too. If they were 17s or 18s they would be perfect. 19s are a little big for my taste, but they clean up/stand out so fuckin well.

agreed. 19s arent bad tho. im kind of indiferent about the stripes

i really like the fact that u did something different and unexpected, and i respect that alot. i just dont know if it works for me.

beautiful ride tho

how wide are those ADR wheels?

**01RaptorTA** · 03-26-2007, 07:38 PM

Thanks AT. The stripes originally drew me away from it. But after looking at it and looking back at pictures, i decided to go check it out. Let me tell ya...100 times better in person. Rims too. He told me they were a little warn, the rims i mean, and i was hesitant. You cant tell anything is wrong anything more than 2 feet away.

Im not sure formula...someone asked me that in my for sale ad, i havnt thought to check. I'll be measuring them tomorrow morning, but my guess is 9 in the front and 9.5 in the back considering tire size.
