    now all you need to do is swap out the standard wheels for 575 wheels like the rest of us. :)

    Quick update, all sticky parts cleaned (rubbing alcohol was a breeze) and a couple of quirks worked out, now to get a baby seat installed!

    Thinking about a new head unit for the stereo to add bluetooth features.

    I really want to avoid any flashy head unit that would look out of place or be distracting. Here are some photos after a thorough cleaning this weekend.

    How did the automatic gearbox age on those?

    My 99 GTA now has ~30K miles and is smooth as silk. No issues whatsoever. Just keep them properly serviced, like the rest of the car....

    The modified GM 4 speed automatic is really well matched to the V12's torque curve. Unlike the 3 speeds in the 400/412 series.
