Just a few goodies

[Tommy]

Just a few goodies I've picked up lately for the 90 Coupe eace:


I've decided it's staying N/A for a while so I'll be selling the Vortech blower soon. In the mean time I will be shaving off some fat, working on suspension mods , fuel delivery and spark.

Coming soon:

-Strange 10 way adjustables (front) with Strange coil overs
-Lakewood 50/50 rear shocks with coil overs
-BBK LCA's
-Baseline UCA relocator (from Orange395W's car)
-All new poly bushings
-AFR 185 aluminum heads 58cc, which should put me near 10:1 CR
-Torque box reinforcements
-Holley Systemax intake
-Greg Weld wheels, 15x10 rear, 15x3.5 front.
-Tru Fiber hood

blah, blah, blah.....and a few other goodies

:rock:



That may be a while because I also have my kids Jeep Wrangler which needs tires, shocks and a complete tune up.

The Slowbra so far needs a clucth/throw out bearing, and possibly either a brake master cylinder or proportioning valve. The front calipers aren't fully releasing. They maintain braking pressure and completely stop the car if I'm slowly crawling forward. Rotors get sizzling hot too.

Any ideas VP?

hmm i dunno go faster!!!! jk well if the log book was still in the car when you picked it up everything is logged in there. i dont think the clutch needs to be replaced yet i had them set it real touchy so its easy to shift while going down the track and less of push needed to engage it. hell ill buy the car back from ya in 3 years when i come back the car does have quite a few miles i would check the junk yard before buying a new one but my theory is when something breaks or is worn out time for a upgrade for a mo betta one! i guess since you have so many projects going on to hold off haha maybe the valve went bad from the car sitting there for so long from june-dec. i am sorry something has gone wrong on the car

no worries VP :hello:


The clutch will be replaced because a simple 1st gear launch or simply loading it into the trailer gets the clutch real stinky. It really smells like a burnt clutch with a simple cruise around town. If I try to get on it from a red light take off on 1st, it gets worse. The t/o bearing is squeaking at any idle, so I figured I'll just change them out.

Wish you were still going forced induction but this works too! I was wondering why you didnt go with a better intake and heads when you first bought the car. Wonder if you will get into the 7s with these mods???

I ran an 8.3 and a 1.7 60' at Barona with the current setup, no tune, very bad front alignment with 255/40/17 tires in front, full interior, stock suspension and stock heavy hood. The only weight saving mod was missing a radio and a quick potty break :rofl:

I seriously think that if I can get it to hook and get a good tune, I will definitely be in the 7's.... N/A!!!

 

[northerncountry]

tommy that is just nasty man I hope that I can be at the track when you do finally hook up and break the 8 second timemark

 

[orange395w]

7's are inevitable. It's just a matter of how far into the 7's he goes. It's what we (Foxbodies :first do.

Tom drives the **** out of that car too. Just a mild 347 hitting those 8.3s, cant wait to see more!

It won't be so mild with AFR 185's, a Holley sytemax intake, Accufab 75mm Race T-body and 4" powerpipe.

Last but not least a tune far away from San Diego :rockroflrofl:

It was literally my DD until I raced it last at Barona when my power window quit.

Since October of 09, I've taken it to Mexico at least 6 times, SD to LA and back 2-3 times a week, plus Corona to Fallbrook 2-3 times a week. She's in surgery prep now :adore:

:lol:

I may have a way to tow it to San Bernandino :rock:

I feel like this right now: :ballchain:


I wish I could get it all done NOW, but I keep getting pulled left and right. I should have the top end disassembled by Thursday night. :tea:

 

[Ford1288]

I was saying it was mild before these new mods. Now it is actually reaching its potential.

P.S. Need any help Tom let me know! Would love to and would get the chance to learn.

 

[Tommy]

I'll definitely call ya Jonathan. I'll be working on both this car and the 79 F250 (Carb rebuild and adjust rockers)
