This is my '97 PGT. I am PGT97ZE on the only place to be Probetalk and for Virginia locals PGT97 on DragVA. I want to keep it simple and just build horespower for the time being.

As of right now i just mainly have suspension modifications. First i started with Ground Control coil-overs and KYB shocks(i know KYB are just stock replacements, but thats all the money i had at the time).

Secondly i added a B-Pillar bar, made by StreetThisMX6 from Probetalk. This bar helps more than most would expect, and takes only five minutes to install. I felt a difference just backing down my rocky driveway!!

Next i added a PT swaybar. This is a 17.5mm bar, so its not as extreme as addco's 22mm. I would recomend getting new endlinks(mine fortunately came off ok and i was able to reuse the old ones).

The only other real modifications are a set of RR-Racing front motor mount inserts and a pacesetter short throw shifter.

Yea thats also a new shift boot from RR-Racing and a MOMO shift knob!

I also added Simpson 5-Point harnesses minus the 5th belt(i didnt want it between my legs every time i was in the car. Camlock's are the only way to go. It only takes 5 seconds to get strapped in.

Of couse i have to have some nice tunes to listen to when im driving around town:) I have an alpine head unit with an Alpine amp running my highs and a Rockford amp running my two MA Audio 12's. They are 600W RMS and 1200W Max with dual 240oz double stacked magnets. I also got Sony 6x9's in the back....they can handle some power.

I know, I know you can see the wires.... Im lazy and not quite done. I still have a one farad capacitor to install, but after that all of the wires go into hiding.

I know probes are quick, but not quick enough to beat a car with over 200 horsepower, and my brother's honda has that not to mention the fact that these cars are way too heavy. Next month I'll be able to beat him and any of these type R's but then his is going to be turbo, so it'll be good competition. Anyways thanks for checking my page, take it easy.

Hey man those are good plans and I like what you have already, is that shifter fairly decent, anyways it's nice I want the taillights from one of them, not the centre jsut the outer lights. Keep up the nice work and take a look at my car if you get a chance. Later
