Hey guys, so In February I bought my 98 gst with 67k miles as my first car. The body seemed stupid clean until I got into it further. The car was infested with mouse nests everywhere and had sat for a good six years. Because of the neglect the car has accumulated a bit of rust. Pros: Car...

since I Did an exhaust my car will (my best explanation) stutter in third while under wot. The best way to explain It is that it is like when someone doesn’t know how to downshift and the whole car dips but at about 4K rpms and wide open

saw pictures of 2gs with these specs and they look like they fit well but a lot of people say they wouldn’t fit???? Curious

I want to get a set of gram lights for my car but they’re only made in 17x9 with various offsets. My question is could I fit a 17x9 +38 with a 245/40 without major poke or fitment issues
