Just found out my 6cyl coil harness was shipped today...One step closer to the COP conversion. Just need the hardware now. That's a trip to home repo for the aluminum stock, and I think I have the hardware sitting around!

Thanks for that. I'll do some more research into it

I wouldn't trust anything over 3-4 years. My ti had an incident with an old tire prior to my ownership and the carnage from the tire coming apart was pretty signifigant. The dates on the other tires when I got it were 3-7-9-9 years old. On my other car, I had some 4 year old (old stock) BFG's that all seperated even though they looked good.

You can get away with it if you are aware of the age and check the tires regularly for bumps, bulges, and cracks. It's really not worth the risk though.

Yeah, with the softer rubber I'm concerned they may not hold up as well as normal street rubber would. But who knows, the quality of track tires is totally different.

Installed 60# injectors, flashed my DME with some nasty Midnight code and boosted 20.1psi on 93 octane pump gas. Still have not fine tuned it yet due to wasteing 8 hours on a issue with my bench flasher but The code is "killer" much better of boost power and when the turbo spools it hits so hard the clutch replacement is scheduled for next weekend but might happen this Sunday.

If you want the fogs back, all you can do is try to find the wire up in the wire harness and run a new lead to new lights. When I bought my ti fogs were not installed, but po tossed most of a set in the back. Found the little brackets to complete the install at Pelican.
