[QUOTE="CanuckCobra, post: 8679134, member: 16328"] Hey fellas, I did some upgrades to the car, so I thought I would share my thoughts now that they've been on for a few weeks. My intention for this car was to put together a well rounded car that could keep up with some of the more exotic cars in the twistys and still be a blast to take drag racing and fool around on the street. I think my next mod will be a mid pipe. But I'm open to suggestions!! [B][U]Gears-[/U][/B] I had a set of Motive 4.30's installed. After 3 weeks of fun driving they failed. My mechanic says the metal hardening didn't take, I now have a set of FRPP 4.30's :fm: Anyways I love them and wish I'd done it sooner :rockon: [B][U]Rear end;[/U][/B] AC427's Delrin Bushing kit;I can just say that I concur with what everyone else who has done this says, which is it is awesome!! I have only noticed a little bit of extra noise, like a whistle, whether thats from the gears or the aluminum bushings etc..I dont know, but again if you are considering this kit, don't hesitate, I can now firmly plant the rear end in a corner without any fear. This suspension will hold longer than my courage!! I also installed MM 03 Cobra style IRS Brace, and Billetflow IRS cover Brace at the same time. I can now dump the clutch and not worry about breaking a half shaft, there is probably a 90% reduction in wheelhop with this set up. H&R 1" Hubcentric wheelspacers, I've added some before and after pics as some guys have been asking lately. [B][U] Front end; [/U][/B] I have had the Eibach springs for a while and was in need of some CC plates, came across a deal on a used set of Steeda's and some lightly used Tokicko Black struts as well as some X2 Ball Joints from Chris@BAP racing on this site, I am so amazed at how smooth the front end is now, just amazed, I guess my old struts were really shot. I may do a steering shaft as I still find the steering a tad numb and heavy. Here's a before pic; [ATTACH=full]1096909[/ATTACH] And an after; [ATTACH=full]1096910[/ATTACH] And one of the car from tonight! [ATTACH=full]1096911[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
