Every state is different with their inspections and Smog checks. I know for a fact that there is no way in hell, even with all 4 stock cats and EGR connected you'd get a car with a b-cam to pass smog here in NJ. Hell i have high flow catted bbk x pipe and stock cam (no egr) and just passed sniffer (first time i failed for NOx, but then a month later NJ no longer checked for NOx so i went back and passed lol)

I am in southern California I bet the sniffer standards are damn near the same as NJ. As I said I passed the sniffer just fine and I bet it would pass the sniffer in NJ too. I could have been picked apart on the visual but I got lucky I was not.

I was gonna say the same, cali is one of the strictest if the the most when it comes to smog

So the 5 lug kit is coming together nicely and quickly. I have 96 Cobra wheels on the way trade for the cowl gauge set up. I scored a rear brake set up from a 95 GT for 50 bucks, axles, brackets, calipers, rotors, lines, anti moan and even the adapters for the hard lines for $50. Then I scored this on ebay 2003/2004 Mustang Cobra Calipers kit Complete brakes : eBay Motors (item 150413586817 end time Feb-16-10 16:06:41 PST)

I fixed the rear brakes by adding an adjustable prop valve and gutting the stock valve last weekend so I think all I have left to find is

M/C
3-2 Conversion
SS lines or adapters

Not wanting to swap boosters so will see how it works with the stock booster unless I am convinced otherwise.

A buddy just offered me rear Cobra axle brackets for free, so I may see if I can find some anti- moans for a decent price and go ahead and upgrade the rears to the Cobra set up also.

If I am missing anytrhing please feel free to let me know.

Wow, that's a kick ass price for everything up front complete.

GroverDill · Feb 17, 2010

just stumbled on a 94 booster and master for cheap, looks like I will be swapping booster too.

Mustang5L5 · Feb 17, 2010

Cobra or V6/gt??

I ran the V6/GT MC for a while with my cobra brakes and found it a little on the stiff side. swapped it for a 93 cobra MC after a while

GroverDill · Feb 17, 2010

oh its the v6 GT stuff. so would it be better to stay 93 cobra MC and stock booster? or the sn 95 booster with matching master cylinder?

Mustang5L5 · Feb 17, 2010

Well, at first i wanted to keep the stock booster, so i did the V6/GT MC and left the stock booster. Couldn't stop at all so i put a 94-95 booster in. Braking was better, but it was a little firm for my tastes so i swapped in a 1993 cobra MC and it was perfect. I have the same Cobra setup you are putting together with the 99+ front calipers.

Try it out though since you have the V6 MC. You might like it. The 94-95 GT/V6 MC and 1993 Cobra MC have the same port sizes so if you decide it's a little firm it's a quick job to swap the MC's and rebleed.

Part of me wants to try swapping in a 94-95 Cobra MC to see if I can get that "put you in the windshield barely touching the brakes" feel. I love brakes that require very little effort.

Thanks Mike, the booster/master from the SN car is so cheap I think I will give it a shot.

I'm close and have the same brake setup as Mike does, if you want to drive mine to see how it feels you're welcome to.

This is the ONLY way to go. Dump the fox booster and MC go SN. I did SN and i barely have to touch the brakes.

So now that I have this

I am going to start putting these guts in it this weekend.

GroverDill · Feb 19, 2010

I killed that 4 lugged drum rear end!

Shaolin Crane · Feb 19, 2010

if you need any help man let me know

GroverDill · Feb 19, 2010

Thanks, I actually got the SN 5 lug axles and brackets in place tonite, easier than I thought.

GroverDill · Feb 20, 2010

getting there, waiting on softlines, a little rattle can detail and the dumb caliper tool.

1991notchbackLX · Feb 20, 2010

I love when picture threads turn into progress threads. Nice work and even nicer car!

Mustang5L5 · Feb 20, 2010

Wait, is that the rear end out of the actual car or did you pick another one up?

GroverDill · Feb 20, 2010

My buddy who wants the 4 lug rear had this one extra so he brought it over to help speed up the process. I finish up the 5 lug swap on this then we swap rears, much eaiser.

You always seem to score great deals like this. I'm good boys... Car still sits under the car cover waiting for the day I can get back to it. House and family have taken way to much of my time and money to even think about the car.
