Mine has 18s and it looks as how you describe it... pregnant roller skate. Can't wait to put on some 17s. 10's in the rear and 8's in front should look better. Anybody who wants some 18" SVE rims (see my avatar) let me know.
Got the fan shroud/overflow tank, fan, water pump and crank pulleys off this morning. Definitely don’t need to remove the radiator. I dont have a 24mm impact socket to remove the balancer bolt and will need to get one, so instead I deep cleaned the front of the engine. Again, super nasty like the bottom.
Inspected and cleaned my fan and shroud/overflow tank.
Putting the car in gear should hold the crank while I impact the bolt off, right? Just removing the pulley bolts it was moving cause I had it in neutral. Put it in gear and it seemed to hold well enough to get the bolts off.

I have the MM adjustable RCA’s so once I put those on I think I’ll raise it like 1/2”.
Double check but I think the 93 Cobra pulley on your car is an [under drive]... It's smaller.
For me, that's a hard "No" but combo's differ.
They are, but per LMRs website it does not impact the alternator or waterpump pulley. It underdrives the smog pump and a/c pulleys only (11.78%). I kind of figured if those were the OEM cobra pulley's they should be fine, right? I did not want any underdrive pulleys that affect cooling or charging.
I'll set it but honestly the e-brake kinda sucks. Needs adjustment or something. When parked in my driveway i typically drive over some 2x4's, then slowly roll back onto them to hold the car, then just leave it in neutral without the e-brake. Where I park it on my driveway does have a very slight slope so i'm not worried about it rolling with the 2x4's there.
Read this thread and the one linked. Get under your car and see if the threaded cable that attaches to the e-brake handle was installed and make sure the handle is locked down i.e. the pawl is tack welded. If all of that has been done then they are either out of adjustment or the cables may need to be replaced.
Awesome, I'll read through all that. Thanks for the links.Read this thread and the one linked.

Have to get this harmonic balancer job done. Sucks getting like 20 minutes here, 30 minutes there to work on the car. Makes all my projects take way longer than they should. To really make progress it seems i'd have to take a day off work, which my wife would be like... 'oh you can take a day off work to work on your car, but not go apple picking (or some BS) with the family?' lol
Well while I wait for parts to come in, I went ahead and removed the taillight housings to prep for the cobra lenses coming. Everything is so dirty… I’m starting to realize he just cleaned what the eye could see, but the car is kinda nasty lol
hahaha, you remind me of my favorite youtube car guy, Chris Sullivan. He's big on cleaning all the crap you can't see (not that I disagree) and is very much a "while you're in there" kind of car guy.Well while I wait for parts to come in, I went ahead and removed the taillight housings to prep for the cobra lenses coming.

Now I understand that you’re not always poking around behind the taillights and under the spare tire board but this
drives me nuts, I can’t have it this dirty. The engine too, so much dirt and grime everywhere, if I did have a leak somewhere I’d never know!
Hahaha, again, I don't disagree. Which is why I sent my car to @95steedamustang for the build cause he's so OCD he has to "show quality paint" the underside just because he will know.Now I understand that you’re not always poking around behind the taillights and under the spare tire board but this

Even as dirty as it is in the unseen areas, I assure you, yours is in FAR better condition than most and lightyears ahead of where mine started.
