Sully Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Ugh. I haven't done anything. My poor baby has been sitting in the garage collecting dust. About the only thing I have planned for it this year is getting an e-cutout. The cutout itself is already on the car, but I just have a solid plate bolted to it right now. House projects have owned me this winter and I still have a lot to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 On the TA, I just finished ordering all the parts for the rear end and started tearing into it on Wednesday. I am replacing the entire rear housing, with welded on LCA relocation brackeds and sway bar mounts, M9 Ford 9", 35 spline axles, detroit locker, 3.50 gears, aluminum 3rd member, BMR extremem sway bar, panhard relocation rod, adjustable torque arm, transmission cross member relocation bar and a 3.5 aluminum DS with 1350 u-joints and new trans yoke. Why only 3.50's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
V8 Beast Posted February 28, 2009 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Your incredible fashion sense? Fashion and safety baby!! To be honest I couldnt even find a jacket that went with my new boots. I ended up making my own jacket... and it is to die for!!! It matches my interior, and freshly painted pink roll bar. The new jacket shows that I mean business while displaying a soft and gentle side. Its kinda like Rambo meets My Little Pony lol! After I finish sewing the word "FIERCE" on the back of it I'll be done with all of my winter mods. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 On the Fiero I have finished installing the six-speed (just have to put the interior back togther), including new clutch, slave cylinder, shifter cables, aligned the car, replaced all the coolant hosed as well as flushed the coolant, all new e-brake cables. I stripped the engine cradle and control arms of all the rust, primed and painted it all and put in poly bushings inthe tie rods, control arms and cradle bushings. I replaced the rear ball joints and added poly bushings to them as well. I fabed up the trans mounts with poly bushings as well. I also put in two new engine mounts and have a brake booster to install. On the R1 I changed the oil and removed some decals. On the TA, I just finished ordering all the parts for the rear end and started tearing into it on Wednesday. I am replacing the entire rear housing, with welded on LCA relocation brackeds and sway bar mounts, M9 Ford 9", 35 spline axles, detroit locker, 3.50 gears, aluminum 3rd member, BMR extremem sway bar, panhard relocation rod, adjustable torque arm, transmission cross member relocation bar and a 3.5 aluminum DS with 1350 u-joints and new trans yoke. P.S. I also bought a towing rig to drive while I have my toys apart. the first 500 miles or so with that locker are fun keep both hands on the wheel as much as possible Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dammit Charlie Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 I should have my 99' cobra wheels and new tires mounted and balanced in the next week. The new 275/60/15 drag radials and wheels are ready to go. I still need to get the FMIC intercooler moving, and the same goes for changing the axle housing bushings. Still to cold for me to go out and work in the garage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starkmaster03 Posted February 28, 2009 Report Share Posted February 28, 2009 Why only 3.50's? Mine from the factory had 3.42's, just entering fourth at the end of the quarter, swapped them for 3.73 and took a while to get the same et, not far off but still slower and I was midway through fourth. I have plans to turbo it in the future and I do not want to be shifting into fifth gear before the traps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
