Scott's 1997 Ford Probe GT
I bought this car back in February 2009. It's a 1997 Ford Probe GT. The exterior is Rio Red (non-metallic), the interior is black, and the seats are black/silver cloth (soon to be traded out for grey leather seats from my second PGT). The car has 152,250 miles on it, and for the most part it doesn't show.
As much as I like the look of the 5 spoke aluminum rims on the car, I found out that they were all bent, which made them not able to be balanced. At speeds over 60mph, the car shook very bad, so I bought a mint set of swirly stock GT rims for $100. I got Yokohama tires all around, at a cost of $650, and had them filled with nitrogen. I'm going to use the 5 spoke aluminum rims as my summer rims.. bent or not.
Check out my other pages for a list of current mods, as well as future mods. Also, check out my 1996 Ford Probe GT project car (number 2 I guess). Thanks for checking out my ride, hope you enjoy. If you have any words of advice or ideas for anything, feel free to tell me.
Just ordered red high output 12v LED's for the instrument cluster, and all the switches in the car (window, fog, rear wiper, etc). Also ordered high output LED's for the dome light. I've been going with a theme of red, black, and white on the interior... and black, silver, and blue under the hood.
