Did you pick up the rear? It looks higher......To keep with matching tires, the only size 315 Michelin offers in an 18" diameter is 315/30r18. That ended up looking very short compared to the 285/35r18 on the front wheels. For that reason I kept the 255/35R18 up front with the 315/30r30 in the rear. Hind sight being 20/20, I'd opted for a different brand and gone 265/35r18 front and 315/35r18 rear. I like the rear being just a touch taller. The regular BC Racing coilover springs are very soft, hence the ride height. I just purchased firmer front spring, a pair of MM forward offset A arms, and a Steeda front sway bar. In the rear, I am going to try to find an air bag helper spring kit, as BC does not offer a stiffer spring for the IRS rears.
After the intake swap, my tuner noticed my 20+ year old wideband controller was reading off. I decided to buy new, although I really liked the vent set up. I never ended up liking the gauges under the radio, so I moved them back to the gauge surround. I may just end up with a triple pillar mount, as it's pretty cluttered in it's current configuration.
Lastly, my wife hit a deer a while back and had a rental Toyota Corolla that had a flat bottom steering wheel... After seeing how much it helped getting in and out, I was sold and bought a subtle AZA flat bottom wheel. This is how my interior currently looks.
I'll post more as I revamp the front suspension. I'm also pulling my TKX, as my second gear and syncro need replaced after a fluke clutch cable incident.
OhhhNo, the tires are just narrower and shorter than I had hoped. The stiffer front springs I have for the coilovers will allow me to drop the front down without rubbing as much. I'm still trying to find a solution for the rear. BC Racing only has one spring option for their rears, and it's very soft. Need to try to find air bags or something.
This ^^^^^ is actually more fun than a blower, and you don't need jack standsMay just put cheap tires on the rear of the car that tricks me into thinking it's faster than it is due to wheel spin.
No doubt. I'm also hitting a point in life where I'm tired of working on things, and spending money for goals that ultimately don't matter.This ^^^^^ is actually more fun than a blower, and you don't need jack stands
That so hit home, brother. I used to frequent NHRA races back when he'd trip the quarter mile lights from his burnouts.Sumitomos always gave mine John Force abilities lol
Def a bum deal, but they are local guys that have put out good engines for years. Fluke thing for me, unfortunately. The actual person who built my engine was a co-owner of the shop, and was 70 something years old. He passed away in March, so im not about to drag his name through the mud. Lucky for me I have a good friend willing to help for more than a reasonable price.Wow its sad you got f ed on the first motor likr that, some people should never be allowed near a motor.
Are you taking the images with a cell phone ?The Cobra is back in my possession. I drove it to a car wash, back home, and promptly started taking it apart again, lol. It drove great. The clutch is so nice, and the tune on E85 seems much smoother. The nice weather motivates me to work it though. Now Im swapping in MM forward offset front control arms, stiffer springs in the front coilovers, a Steeda front sway bar, and a Stifflers transmission crossmember.
Tonight I only got the passenger all torn down, the spring swapped, and the new control arm loosely bolted in. I have all weekend free, so I should be able to get it all knocked out.
