dude, i can honestly say that i am impressed. good job on the wire hiding. I love how you made the holes bigger. SVT doesnt play around. They made the Cobra R center caps a bigger size to keep people from putting the caps on fakes. Way to go. Show them who's boss

 

[95CobraMike]

that's pretty

did you also do the smog delete? if so, what size belt do you run?

 

[rio95]

Also, after I finish painting the underbody and make the rear seat delete, I'm thinking about getting some blue oval smoked headlight and foglights, maybe 1/2in. wheel spacers, maybe tint, paint tail lights or buy saleen covers or stock black 96+, then probably focus on the motor and some more suspension.

I did a smog delete last year. With no smog or ac and march ud pulleys the belt was a 79.8. It was a pain to find the right belt. I'm just glad I finally found one that fits perfect.

Im impressed. Makes me wish I got another SN95.

 

[rio95]

Thanks. As far as the wire hideing goes, it was a long pain in the a$$ process. I loved how it turned out though. There are many little details that took a long time that you really can't see in the pictures. One thing you can see that no on has probably noticed is that I re-routed the alternator wires running across the top the the motor. This required the wires to be extended about 5 feet. I also had to extend the driverside side marker and headlight wires. Other than that no other wire was cut. I also routed the hood release cable in the fender. Also, throughout the whole process I had to remount the CCRM along with other things and I grounded everything nice and neatly out of sight.

Nice Haas VMC used to open up for center caps.

 

[rio95]

Yeah, it is nice!

Hey Rio95. I have a question for you. How the heck do you pull the lower portion of the rear seat out? Is it bolted in you do you just yank rear hard on it. Im afriad to break mine so i just worked around it.

two white tabs underneath the ass part. use a screwdrive, lift the fronts of the seats up as high as you can, and push the tabs straight forward with a screwdriver. literally takes about 1 minute

lol really is that how its suppose to work mine just pulls up

Looks good Rio! maybe someday i'll get the ambition to hide the wires but i just don't have the patience fo things like that i wanna pull the motor and paint the engine bay someday maybe i'll do it then

 

[rio95]

yeah, that rear seat literally does take two seconds once you know how to do it. Just push with a flat head screw driver towards the back of the car.

Hey can you do my bullitt wheels too. I have some real bullitt center caps but they dont fit

 

[donjohn]

lol really is that how its suppose to work mine just pulls up

probably because you broke the tabs.. as i did.
maybe 17 should add "if you'd like not to break the tabs...."

Looks great Rio

 

[94GTLaserRC]

Looking good, and nice to see that you got some stuff done during downtime.

HOwever, I think that CAI CHrome pipe looks out of place unless the rest of the engine is polished. You can start with that PS/Idler bracket...that's a REAL easy piece to do.
