I would double check your air pump (just down from your coolant reservoir).
Replace bridgestone rears and am looking at michelin super sports

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Just wanted to post final pics of my car.
It has been a long process, but with the help of some great members from here she is finally done. Here are the pics of my car. Hope you like!

turbo side skirts and rear bumper cover, 19" turbo wheels with Michelins all around, GT3 front bumper cover, turbo exhaust tips, muffler mod, headers, K&N air kit, heavily modified and fully functional Turbo rear wing, Brake caliper upgrade, LED rear lights.
not bad. The Turbo II wheels definitely give it an updated look. For the purists, yea, they can see all the non-matching items ( Mk1 headlights, non-OEM front lower portion, Turbo rear decklid/wing, rear bumper, side skirts ...), but in all, it's your car, and done to your taste.
IMO, it works because it's a black Pcar; are you considering tinting the windows, and maybe adding a slight tint to the front headlights?
Your car looks very sharp and updated. Really like the wheels. Also like the mesh in the front. Will hopefully keep some of the junk out. Getting ready to pull bumper on mine and clean out front. Like your LED tail lights. Did you get them on ebay and were they easy to install?
Cmanis, yes the tail lights I got on eBay, spend a little more for the good ones, just swap over the factory harness from the original tail lights and plug and play. No mods needed. And you are right, the grilles in the front will keep out the junk. They are stainless steel mesh fiberglassed to the back side of the bumper. I figure if something is going to puncture that mesh, nothing I could do.
2K3TTMIA, thanks. She is done to my tastes, as everyone should do their car to their tastes. If the "purists" don't like it...that's ok with me. Yes, I am planning to do a slight tint to the windows, but I won't be touching the headlights. But thanks for the nice comments all! Hope everyone has a safe New Year!
Looks great! The only thing I would suggest is an amberectomy. The orange in the front turn signals really stands out too much.

Looks good.
Please provide the details on your tire / rim package. What is the offset of the rears and what size tires are on the rear?
Which Michelin tires are you running?
I am soon replacing my Bridgestone rears and am looking at Michelin Super Sports. The shoulders are more square than the Bridgestones and I am concerned about interference with the fender lip.
Thanks,
JR
I have one last question everyone..here goes. In the am, when I start my car, she will start up and idle perfectly, but when I step on the gas, she will bog down, I can hear a slight popping in the engine compartment. If you keep your foot on the throttle, she will stall out. But if you feather the gas until you can move the idle up to around 2500 or 3000 the hesitation and bogging goes away and doesnt come back until you try to start the car. It happens only at initial start up.
Symptoms - bogging down at start up under throttle. slight backfire, hesitation, no check engine light
Parts already replaced - fuel pump, fuel filter, spark plugs,
Aftermarket parts - Headers, K&N cold air kit
Work done - removed and cleaned throttle body, replaced plugs, fuel filter, fuel pump
Any suggestions?

I would double check your air pump (just down from your coolant reservoir). I've messed around and found some of that stuff disconnected. I've also had issues with a broken oil fill neck, and vacuum lines in and around the intake manifold leaking.
