Thanks for the update. Post more pics!
Looking great. I love the saleen grill and boss lower fascia combo. Ever think of putting the raxiom headlights on?
Actually, that is the most recent set of pics...But here is a few more
Yes, when they were 1st released on AM. Then immediately decided NO. Just a tad on the rice side for my flavor. Thanks
YOUTUBE: Here is a 1/8mi run I did before breaking a LCA bushing

Solid. What made you go with the silver sve drifts?
Looking great Jayvee, we need to run one day to compare factory stock + tires to full bolton + tires!
They are not "Silver" they are the new released finish "DARK STAINLESS" Sorta like a burnt stainless steel finish. Any why not?
Just wanted to steer away from Black on Black for my street set up.
What made the bushings come apart like that?
From what I was told and seem to be the census, wrong grease. General automotive grease seems to be a NO NO for poly bushings making them softer then what they are suppose to be or deforming them. Apparently, it is the petroleum with the automotive grease. Synthetic grease works and will do but just doesn't last as long as grease(s) like AMSOIL "Chassis" grease or even GREEN GREASE a FULL synthetic race grease that can be purchased at Advance Auto Parts.
AWESOME build thread Jayvee!!
Makes me second guess buying my cobra over a 5.0.

Good Morning SVTP! Yesterday I completed the repairs on the BMR control arms repairs. Cleaned up all residual grease, dirty and grime then pre-greasing and pressing all 8 new bushings in place and installed. Pics + My boyz Alcohol burning Race BANCHEE! Runs 7.2 1/8th mile as it stands but plans on upping the CC to a Big Block stroker kit.

Congrats, and bet you are happy to be back up and running strong.
Thank You very much Justin. Yes, I am extremely HAPPY! There seem to be a slight "Pep" to my step and conversations... at least that is what the wife says and a few people I have spoken to. But without a doubt, I feel the change within me. Almost as my luck has changed for the best and I will now be able to move forward chipping away at the shortcomings that have held me back for almost 4mo of the worse luck possible. And this goes beyond the car but the car was pretty much the handheld snowball that started it all leading to the avalanche.
I must say I feel extremely confident and extremely happy with the people whom I have surrounded myself with in this build and comeback. Starting with Collin @ Racing Integration hands down one of the best dudes in Tampa when it comes to cars...ANY CARS! Dude is a true master at his skill and no stranger to the streets & track. Thanks to supporting friends I spoke to almost on a daily basis and who have even helped me along the way. (They know who they are) Down to the last one who sent me on my way, Sai L. and Chris Holmes. These 2 were staying with me Via text, talk and email NON STOP! More so Sai, since he is local. Data logging and revisions over and over till midnight one night, till he felt comfortable and satisfied with what he was looking on as far as a base tune to get me driving safely. The dude just doesn't stop till he is happy and the car stops reacting one way vs the other way and find that 1 sweet spot. Not caring at all we both had to wake up early to go to work. Sai showed that same picky perfection on the Dyno also yesterday keeping us there for approx 4hrs till the car felt OEM to him but with all the gains from the mods and set up. I can go on and on about all 3 of these guys but NO HOMO...lol!
More to come as I continue on my COME BACK/Return. THANKS!
Thanks for giving me and Chris a chance to work with you and your New setup. It was our pleasure to tune it and we are glad you are happy with it. We are not some huge name or company. Just a couple of guys that really love cars and have a passion for them. So we really appreciate you trusting us with your baby. Enjoy it and lastly have a ton of fun with it.
Looks really nice under the hood. Glad to hear you're back up and running
