  1. The Lithium batteries are impressive. I put one in a motorcycle and it was a huge drop in weight and cranked over at least as good if not better. I'll be using one in my Z for sure. Run a good alternator and like Phantom says, minimal use of the stereo unless she's running. 50lbs. is like 10 more hp!
  2. The "how it was done" is what I am impressed with, nice routing. The fact you got a shop to actually do it right, well that's icing on the cake. I like the bulkhead fittings through the inner fenders, nice touch. Billet clamps are really nice as well. I'll have to go that route on my car.
  3. Outstanding work on your project! Love the tube routing work, could call that "art". The Mil-spec wire is pretty sweet. I have some samples here and would love to go that route with my project.
  4. Hmm, tempting... Are they selling parts or the whole car? I could use rockers for sure, maybe a roof or at least a patch on the rear pillar. I'll have to look over what else.
  5. Yeah, that won't be happening. I wish! I'll be using full rockers and floors in this old girl.
  6. Ok, thanks for the replies. I'll just order those up along with the other piece I need. I need to get over and see your project one of these days!
  7. I know that this is an old thread but after much searching I haven't been able to find a better one. I need rockers for my car and would like the best quality available. A good price would be nice too but secondary to the quality. Is Motorsports as good as any? I have another item I need from them and a free shipping code. Thanks in advance! Dave
  8. Nice, I'm looking forward to seeing the results!
  9. I have lift envy... Looking forward to seeing how this turns out.
  10. So, what's the pattern and bore? I have a few 32 spline shafts here we should try out in it.
  11. What gauge is clustered with your speedo? How did you lay out the three in the pods? Looks like a great setup!
  12. What do you think speeds will run? I'm curious how much power it takes to get to 180? 200?
  13. Nice! I like that larger spoiler. I'm very interested to hear the results.
  14. If we can get the wheel bolt surface to center of KPI down to about 3" those wheels will work. Not sure that even makes sense. The stock strut will be more forgiving with a steeper angle but sacrifices in other places.
  15. Only the front really matters because of scrub. I'll just build the rear to fit.
  16. I was looking at these. Highest offset is 50mm which I'm not sure will do it. We'll see. Cost isn't horrible and staggered configuration is available. http://enkei.com/product-category/wheels/racing/
  17. I had a set picked out but after more research may need more offset to really get the KPI/SAI right with zero dynamic scrub. I'll need to get my math closer to finalized before settling on the wheels. I had to do similar on that Jeep and it was a lot less complicated suspension! I'm planning on 18" staggered set hopefully a lightweight 5 spoke or paired 5 spoke. Cost for the wheels needs to stay out of the stratosphere too.
  18. Nice! I am planning to A-arm my car as well. I'll be interested how this turns out.
  19. It was cool checking out your project. Always great when the parts measure out correct! I have a set of Manley H-Beams here as well as stock Gen 4 rods if you want to check them out. These photos belong over here now...
  20. Brake and clutch master cylinders and balance bar. Not sure if I will use this or just buy a set of pedals, leaning towards the "buy pedals" option.
  21. And with some small mods, the factory controls bolt right on...
  22. You should be able to pick up a Sweet or similar rack off of eBay for a decent price. Just will take some patience to get the right ratio and width. That's the direction I'll go. I haven't nailed down all the geometries yet. Debating on hubs, etc. I'll probably use the late Mustang parts just because that will make the rear half-shafts easier and cheaper as well as a really common bolt pattern, brake availability, etc.
