Ditto.
Convertible Sub Frame Connectors?
- Thread starter FL.-Frank

These cars, with ultra low mileage and completely stock, are few and far between. Personally, I'd buy one with a little more mileage and enjoy driving it with whatever mods made me happy. 1100 miles, I wouldn't touch it.
What color is it?
It’s Screaming Yellow. Not everyone’s favorite, but I like it
the only thing i don't like about this mod is that since there's welding/cutting involved, which can never be "undone." it also has to be done correctly by someone who knows what they're doing, and since i cannot do it myself i'm real hesitant to let someone do it. (yes i have trust issues lol) my car has plenty of mods and is an absolute blast to drive, but cutting/welding is something i try to avoid at all costs.
i've never driven a sn95 vert with aftermarket subframe connectors, so i cannot compare, but in the 126k miles and 15 years of enjoyment i have had in this car, chassis rigidity has never been an issue to me. sure, my coupe feels "tighter", but the vert is just as much fun to drive. it just has a different character.
congrats on your purchase op! screaming yellow is a kickass color for a terminator.

Anything added can generally be removed. Granted, you would have to cut the welds to remove the stiffer bracing, but it can be done if at any point the car needed to be 100% OEM stock.

Mine is SY too. Did you buy that from a member here? In NY or something like that.
That is everyone's favorite color. @Buckwheat 1 @Smooth

It'll be stock but not pristine. It would hurt the value.
My car came to me from Canada where the original owner kept it covered in a temp and humidity controlled environment.
Regarding the installation of the Stifflers components, it’s my understanding that although welding is required, no cutting of the car’s metal is required. It’s also my understanding that the installed Stiffler components won’t interfere with future maintenance items ie; Fluid changes, filter changes, etc.
Is this correct?

I would take a hard look at this route if you don't want to tear up the car or drive it a lot. It's one of the reasons the mileage on my car didn't bother me when I bought it. It was a high miler so I have no second thoughts about putting more miles on it.
That's correct. They do make it easier to jack the car up though.
Since I don’t have a lift or ramps, I do like the fact that the Stiffler side rails provide easily accessed lift and support points from the sides of the car.
A Canadian car makes it much rarer from a numbers point of view. I figure my ZY01 is one of maybe 4 that was a Canadian car. Ford doesn't disclose the breakdown for colours, etc. for the Canadian cars, just gives the total number of coupes and verts for the year shipped to Canada.
Sounds to me that you want to keep it stock. If so, keep it a garage queen and if you have the money, buy a different one to mod and drive.

Let's be real, how much are you really "enjoying driving" it. It averages about 700 miles per year, that's nothing. You arent pushing it in anyway so I say deal with the sounds and flex.
I buy my cars, mod the shit out of them, and then enjoy driving them whenever I'd like. I dont abuse them, I keep them clean and try to keep it show ready. At the end of the day I'm not concerned about it holding value, I want to enjoy the modding and driving experience

Strangely enough Mine is from Canada originally and also a SY vert. I get the low mileage thing, but if you plan to hang on to it for a long length of time why not mod it the way u want and get out and drive it. My Cobra wasn’t stock when I bought it tho so it made that decision easy for me.
In terms of the stifflers getting in the way of anything from a maintenance standpoint there is nothing affected. There is also no cutting, just welding. You will wind up drilling two holes in the factory K member if you add their K member brace .
