thanks everyone.
Kemo - sure, just when i was going to be content with a new set of tires next year you have to raise the issue of a 3.6
I think I can squeeze plenty out of this light little 3.0 - for now anyway!!
Don - you are spot on about the skinny checkbook. Fortunately, I was able to find a few good used parts on this site and, sell a few no longer needed parts here to offset a little.
When I first got the car, H4s were on the to-do list but, the more I looked at it, the more I began to like this look as is.
As far a wheels, I'm leaning toward Lindsey anodized with black centers but, am half considering Fikse FM5s or Kinese K57 - with anodized outers and black centers as well. Unless I find a good used set with the right offset, wheels/tires won't be in the cards until next year!!
