WHILE YOUR AT IT GET THE TIMING DONE ON THE CAR CUZ IT SOUNDS BAD AT HIGH RPMS GET IT LOWERED TO 600 OR SOMETHING

It really is amazing how quiet these cars are with a properly sorted stock exhaust, I recently redid the gaskets on mine and it was night and day at idle virtually silent in the cabin with the top down. Great looking car .

Ok One more thing,. i listen to heavy metel music first thing every morning on the way to work and I am not my parents,. but I can honestly say that i said when he drove up to,."TURN OFF THAT GOD DAMN RACKET"

[TheLivingDeadOne]

Oh By the way,. It's not a "Spyder" it's a "Spider",. Look it up and find out why and when the "Y" came into play with the word "Spider".

Thats the only way they idle right, at fast idle,. i was lucky to get mine at maybe 1100 rpms,. this guys definitely at 2500rpms. and your right that color is hidious. Is that original? I dont know if i should be proud to own one of thes or embarresed. have plans to make mine something different, but then again ,. in my dreams. maybe drop a sleek quiet porsche engine in it
