    poor mans 5 lug swap?

    Why don't you save up your money and do it right the first time? It's cheaper that way.

    Brakes are done!!! (PICS)

    Sounds good.....Looks like if I do open track my LX am definitely going to have to take out the stereo box in the back. That thing is HEAVY! After the MM panhard bar goes in next month, I plan on getting an Autopower roll bar to stiffen up the car further than the STB and the SFC's do already...

    Brakes are done!!! (PICS)

    Yes, both front and rear calipers came with pads. I like the stock carbon metalics, they are quiet and stop well enough but are a bit dusty. I plan on getting either Hawk HPS or a good set of Porterfields for when I open track the car (eventually). Good to know that the HPS's are a bit noisy...

    Good find on your set-up! Can't beat all that for $400 with the spare. Thanks for the compliment!

    Brakes are done!!! (PICS)

    Kieth, I ordered them from www.tirerack.com . Shipping was fast too ($14 some odd dollars for shipping to CA). Keep in mind that they are the Brembo stock replacement rotors...sorry, I should have mentioned that.

    Brakes are done!!! (PICS)

    As I said in my previous post, " it seems that piecing it together tailored to my needs and wants was comparable to the cost of the M-2300-K kit". If I would have deleted the front control arms and used caliper adapters, it would have been in the ballpark of $1800. By piecing together the...

    One more basic 5 lug conversion question

    I started out at 6 turns out from stock but ended up going to 8 for the initial setting. The alignment guy told me that the toe was WAY out. I adjusted so it looked good and it was still off. Toe Before: Left: 1/2" Right: 13/32" Total: 7/8" Toe after: Left: 1/32" Right: 1/32"...

    Rebuild vs Crate Motor

    I would go eith short or long block. I have had all the parts to build my engine in the garage (machined, ballanced, etc) sitting in my garage for a while now and I still haven't put the MF'er together. It'd be way cheaper to just buy one that is done.

    FMS- M-2300-K

    I hate to say it, but I have never seen the price of that kit go down......only up. That is why I pieced mine together.

    what do you think about my new project?

    I'd bet if you washed it, it wouldn't look half bad (except for the vert top). Any body damage?

    GAH! Fox is too loud... have until Thursday to fix it...

    I have Bassani 1 3/4 headers, Bassani catted X-pipe and 2 chamber flowmasters....It is loud even with the tailpipes. I changed out the x-pipe to the stock H to get it smogged and it is still too loud. I am looking at Borla mufflers because my buddy's Mustang has them and they quieted his car...

    Roll bar for a 1990 convertible??

    Have you looked at Autopower rollbars yet? I am not sure if they are NHRA approved but they are worth taking a look at.
