My mechanic and i are going to do a few custom/home-made modifications to my car soon.
Mods To Do:
1. Sub-Frame Connectors. I want to put some custom made SFC's on my 98 GT. I can get the steal from my friend at a steal yard, and weld them myself. I need to know the exact dimensions and steal/parts necessary for this mod though. Does anyone have a website that gives specifications and dimensions of the steal and everything needed. I've seen websites selling them of course, but not detailed dimensions. Also, anyone have pictures of the weld points/locations to weld the SFC in place?
2. Stock Throttle Body/Plenum Porting I have some grinders and dremmels, and should be able to do this fairly easily. Just wondering if anyone has done this themselves in the past, anything i should know? Any specific way or direction that i should be porting this? What part exactly should i be widenging, i know if i widen the openings i might need a new TB. So i gues i'll just port the Plenum. Smooth out the insides and what not. Does anyone have any professional advice for this? Think i could port the hole from the intake to the Plenum too? Or would it leak or something. Let me know what you guys think about this. What kind of dremel heads should i use?
3. Cold Air Intake. I wasn't really planning on doing this mod, but since i hear its worthless to buy one, i guess i'l just make one. Anyone ever make their own, what did you use? Did you use the stock MAF or a new one? What did you use for the tubing? Thick rubber hose? or PVC? Any pictures?
4. DYNO. Off topic but, where is the nearest DYNO machine in Northern New Jersey. I live in bergan county and want to DYNO the car sometime soon. La Rocca's in Englishtown the closest one? Just wondering. Thanks for the help/input guys.
