I think I paid less than $200 for my 55 TX plates...

WOW great looking plates! :thumbs:

Insane price though. :shock:

Uh yeah, ouch, lol. My choices though were bite the bullet on some 51 plates, run the super ugly "Antique Auto" plates, or register it as a regular vehicle and run modern plates. Given those choices, it wasn't much of a decision.

Been driving the car to work a bunch. So far so good. I still haven't messed with the jetting, and it's going lean on the top end. Even so, it's *f'ing fast*! :shock:

Wait till it's fully tuned.

So yeah, the GT ATB differential rocks! There are some turns coming and going to work that I like to take hard. With the old super diff, it would light up inner tire when I nailed it upon hitting the apex, now, even with way more power, it puts it all to the ground and rockets the car out of the turn. It's a total blast to drive :mrgreen:

In other news, I got a new accessorie for the car, hopefully I'll have a chance to put it in this weekend, I'll post pics if I do
