Olivia, haven't met you yet, but the car looks phenomenal.

Thanks for the welcome, man.
I've decided the first thing I'm doing once I've signed the title is heading to Best Buy & either pricing head units or ipod adapters. I would like to keep the OEM look-- all I really want is something through which I can play my ipod. I'd had a radio transmitter thing, but the signal was pretty crappy.

We shall see, I suppose.
before u spend ur money at best buy....listen to some of our systems first then decide

You have to replace the entire valve cover... It's definitely what it is but I'm going to try something else. I'll probably try it the weekend after next.

The valve covers are like $2xx each and you need gaskets as well.

lol then add valve covers, possibly coolant lines?

I plan on making it an entire day job because I want to be sure I don't mess anything else up.

I'd probably just do 245/255 or 255s all around. People seem to love T1Rs lol

May want to try those Sessantas. Keith likes em

I believe so. I think Dave was running 255 all around on his Touring wheels.
