    Talking Calypso lx project!

    So a lil over a month ago i bought a 92 lx from mike at wolf pack. The car was spotless and deff has a lot of bark with a pretty damn strong bite! :).. but i am the type of person who enjoys doin small things to a car and leaven it be.... but so far ive been like a train... been planning some kick ass things for it. I got a Pair of springs of jason "89vert" and i was cool with just that... for about a week haha... i needed some gurth to its stance and new shoes. " not that the old ones where bad.. just needed to upgrade lol" so now... I should have new wheels and tires to throw on. Along with the 5 lug conversion kit from late model restoration :) this should be the finish project for a lil bit. Hopefully ill get a all wheel disc conversion and 2 inch cowl hood . Then off to carlisle.... but if things dont work out.. my question to you guys...if you had a choice.. would you go cowl hood or all wheel disc for carlisle. Let me know what you guys think!

    Thanks again guys

    Dave

    PS: I found this pic of the same color 03 ' cobra on google ... and love it would it be wrong of me too do the same thing? LOVE THIS COBRA!

    The Cobra brake conversion was probably the best thing I did to my car.

    Car looks great, love the wheels.
    If the brakes are still new, go with the hood IMO.
    Here's my car w/ 2" HO Fibertrends hood:

    I would do the cowl hood, not too big though and concentrate on rims and tires before brakes. you will get much more satisfaction out of those than stopping 3 feet quicker !! BY THE WAY SWEET CAR !!!
