Man my first car was a second gen Probe GT. Most unreliable car I ever had. Though I do wonder what a second gen Probe would look like with a proper stance....

Looks good. I'm surprised your car still has the OEM rubber under-spoiler chin, you NEVER see Probes with that still attached.
Personal preference, I always thought those double-5-spoke Mustang wheels looked better without the caps. Everything else [including the dual gauge pod moulded into the dash] is on point.

Looks good with the polished SN95 GT wheels on it.
Also glad you modded it. I raced a 90 or so Probe one time, up a hill, with a frozen rear brake caliper, and just kept walking away. I'm assuming it wasn't a GT. My car is unnaturally slow, so I'm sure the other car wasn't a GT.
I almost bought a 89 or 90 Probe GT a while back, had 297whp. I should have.

Man Thanks guys for the feed back. Ya I love the car and I have some big plans for it. Its getting a winter build done here real soon. more poke and some good camber in the back and prolly lower. I would love to get a feature do on it, just to show everyone!
you know you love your car when you see it and go damn.!
Im real amped for some rolling shots of the probe. I cant wait to see it.
stay tuned!Comment

It was the car, not the motor. The KL is bulletproof when treated right.Originally posted by [experimental] View Post

Working on it! haha.Originally posted by [experimental] View Post
Man you aren't lying. The transmissions are fucking junk. I'm on my 3rd go around with my new PGT, and I have only had it since July, and it's a lightly bolted/cammed/ ported head(ZE) DE motor, with a baby clutch in it...Originally posted by DeeAOne View PostIt was the car, not the motor.

Guess it just gives me reason to put the fidanza/6puck in there, and my snail...then at least I'll have a reason to be breaking them all the time.Originally posted by FluidMotorUnionComment

Im honestly going to just stock up on the things from the junkyard and throw them in my parents shed, cause I know how I drive/shift cars, and it doesnt work well with these junk ass transmissions...Flatshifting something at 7500-7800rpm's...umm, no. hahaOriginally posted by DeeAOne View Post
There's a dude off the boards WestpalmGT, who was making 3xx whp, turboed and his car would anihalate transmissions I think he went through 10 or 12...
They say that using a heavy duty clutch disc, like a puck clutch with a stock or clost to stock pressure plate works really well for being easy on them.Originally posted by FluidMotorUnionComment
