I thought that MacGuy's thread was a good idea and since I had so many questions regarding mods on the last ride, I figured that I'd start this thread to keep track of everything.


Dan's toys




**************************************************

May Mods


Megan Racing S-pipe vs. OEM (thanks SuperWhite08!!!)



Agency Power Crank Pulley vs. OEM (thanks again SuperWhite08!!!)



Hotchkis Front Anti-sway Bar vs. OEM (What a PITA!!!)



Hotchkis Rear Anti-sway Bar vs. OEM


So far I also have the Energy Suspension Front Control Arm bushings installed and the other 2 kits will go in when time and weather permit. EDIT: THE BUSHINGS ARE DONE!!!!!

Previous mods:

- Doc I Short Shifter



- Doc I radiator panel
- Oznium 3rd brake light
- Ingalls rear brace


If anyone needs the Energy Suspension poly bushings for OEM sways, PM me. I have the full master kit, but Hotchkis sways so I have no need for the ES sway bushings. I can even throw in the little packets of poly grease that came with the Hotchkis set since I have a grease-gun tube full of Hotchkis grease to use on all of my poly.

Nice work.........lube those bushings up REALLY well with some moly grease or even better, MARINE LUBE. That will keep them quiet.



Complaining is futile when you supported the victory.

I got a grease gun tube of Hotchkis poly grease so we'd have way more than enough. No creaks whatsoever!

The only problem is that ES decided that they'd replace 2 parts that I needed with the wrong ones, so when I get the ones that the kit should have had, the subframe has to drop out again to get them in.

Luckily my friend Dan has a machine shop in his basement and was able to drill out the stock pieces so we could put the car back together.

Thanks to all for the props!

The funny thing is when I got home from the bushing install, the engine and tranny mounts were there waiting for me ..... next up, engine and tranny mounts along with my ETD from the last car.

Kristina, you definitely get to ride shotgun.

I installed Doc I's shifter in Feb. Here are a few pics.

3rd gear



4th Gear



Some exterior pics on a cloudy day in my parking spot. The bumpers aren't fixed yet, but these pics will do for now.










and here's a reconditioned wheel


Also, I have the poly engine/tranny mounts in now .... and Dan's box grew a bottom section! Now it has lower drawers, wheels, a power strip and EVERYTHING!!!

How does it ride with the mounts? I think I need those.

For sure!!! A 4 foot lift with a 3 foot pit would be nice too, but first I need to get my own place. The work was done in front of my buddy's parent's house .... where his machine shop and tools are.

Him and his dad fix industrial machinery.

It's not as rough as I expected. Tough to say on launch right now because my S-pipe ate up the rear gasket, so my friend is going to fill in the OEM mid-pipe connection with his welder and grind the weld flat so standard gaskets work right .... the s-pipe wants standard and OEM wants a donut ..... only setback is that his grinder is broken, but he has another one on the way.

I can launch A LOT harder now. Also, when it spins the tires, it is smooth as anything. No more worries of the engine blasting through the hood from a little peel out! Nick, I'd bet that you could break 14 seconds with some mounts and they're not as bad of an install as some of the other stuff .... they weren't easy though (what is on this car?).

Thanks Nadia ... and for moving the thread. I'm toying with the idea of swapping to the NST setup, so if I do, I'll be selling the AP pully. I think Web just did that. Not 100% though.

I spin without wheel hop so that's ok, but I just hate how much the engine torques... I don't have the engine dampener in yet so I don't know if/how it'll help.

Do you know where you are mounting it? I have one from my last car, but we couldn't find a good place to mount to. Not that I need it with the poly bushings, but I have it, so why not.
