I would like to see some pics of the belt arrangement without the a/c if you don't mind? Looks like you just lost the A/C and kept the same brackets?

I honestly dont think you could exceed the cost of a new car buy installing new *stock* parts everywhere in your coug our tbird. Its just plain impossible. You could revamp the entire drivetrain/engine/suspenstion and still come out ahead.

i assume to keep the oil from blowing back through the motor and building up on the intake and everything else on the way. i think its a great idea. has a small valve on the bottom on the custom made alum canister for drainage. after many high mileage fords, i like this idea because ive always had oil coming back through this line and making a mess. ill try to get more pics when its not 20degrees outside and snowing..goood ol' unpredictable maryland weather lol.

Welcome, very nice buy! Serious mod list for that price! I'm suprised you don't like the wheels, I've actually been thinking about that style for mine. Those are the Saleen style correct? What size are they? I'm thinking of going with 17s if I get a set. What type of wheel are you planning on going with?

i agree with him, they're a bit bland.. they just don't seem to fit these cars right

I like the Cobra 190s. I believe they're the 03 model wheels.

these are 16's. im thinkin bout something black. maybe 17 or 18 black cobra r's. id b willing to trade the wheels for another set if anyone in the area is interested. i like how many ppl on here seem to like them..i shouldnt have a prob getting rid of them

I always vote no on black wheels.  It's way overdone (this coming from a guy with Cobra R's, lol) and just does not look good in my eyes.  You have to have some contrast mixed in there.

But its your car and your choice.
