Hi Mikey. Got everything straightened out yet? Hope these parts get used by someone and live another day. You mentioned the car was smoking a bit after getting it back together. I blew a head gasket on the 5.0 I had in my car and after repair it smoked quite a bit because antifreeze made it to the cats where it eventually burned off. Be back in RI in May, I’ll need to take a ride out to see you sometime. Currently in San Diego on stop 39 of 52 starting our way back to Florida for the winter. Rick
Chuck, in the 20 years that I had my 88, with the same wheels you have, I had run through a set of Khumo and a set of Hankook tires. Didn’t care for the Khumo’s but the Hankook’s performed well. Price back in the day was very reasonable, especially compared to some of the more major brands. Since you don’t put a great amount of miles on the car, whatever you buy will probably age out before wearing out. Good luck with your choice. Rick
Hi Mike. Looks like you had a great time and saw some awesome sites. Have you been to Yellowstone before? It has some pretty awesome things to see. How long were you gone? We got to Florida (Ocala) yesterday for 8 days before arriving in Punta Gorda for the next 5 months. Glad you got to check something off your bucket list. Rick
Hi Mike. It is warmer here in Florida than you in CT but we had a few nights last week down into the 30’s…coldest temps in over 40 years. I’ll still take it over New England winters. At least we don’t get snow this far south. Hope all is well with you and your family. Happy New Year! Rick
Hi Mikey, how are things in the nutmeg state? Carol and I are leaving Florida this Friday, (4/1) and starting our journey across a good part of the country. We will be passing through roughly 22 states in the next six months before returning to Florida for the fall/ winter. Looking forward to the journey, just not my diesel bill! Currently $5.19 here in Fl. We will be putting about 10,000 miles on pulling the fifth wheel and a bunch more sightseeing without the rig. Maybe I’ll post some pictures here showing some of the sights we see, Yellowstone, Mt Rushmore, Moab, Hoover Dam Grand Canyon, Vegas, etc. Glad to see Turbo Coupes getting some recognition at last. Not a Hellcat or GT 500 but great cars in their time. Keep the Blue Ovals running! Rick
Hi Mike, car looks great, I miss mine. Did you get a lot of snow last Saturday? We’re getting a lot of sunshine here in Florida! ISTLCRUZ, I had non adjustable Maximum Motorsports lowers on my 88 and boxed the uppers myself and replaced the bushings. I was also fortunate to score some Koni NOS lowering springs back in ‘01. I don’t think you would go wrong with the CHE ones.
