need to knwo how much.. and where to get the following..

Off Road H-Pipe
4.30 gears
Aluminium Drive Shaft (The Ford Racing one I think)
Steeda Tri-Ax

Thanks

oh.. and what size tires can fit on 17x8 wheels ?

 

Look on ebay first believe it or not. I was able to pick up my MAC o/r H and Mac U/D pullies for 125 shipped to my door. I got my 3.90 gears from ebay. 150$ shipped to my door. There are new shifters on there all the time as well. However, when it comes to the Alum FMS Driveshaft, I recommend Tony here on TR. I am sure he will chime in as soon as he sees this thread.

Good Luck

 

First off congrats on the car, I love that color. Have you been to http://www.mach1registry.com/index1.htm , yet? I'm sure they could fill you in on Modding issues. I would recommend talking to Tony Beake at Need-4-Speed (www.need-4-speed.com). They are local and top notch with customer service second to no one. For the tire issue, I know several people who have put 275x40 Nitto 555 on all four corners with no problem (regular, not DR).

 

What happened to keeping it stock?

 

i'm just thinking out loud

 

:o wwowow 4.30 think 373 would be perfect what do you guys think am i wrong?

 

heh...know exactly what you mean.


Check with Scott about the gears and the driveshaft. I am pretty sure he can get you anthing sold out of the FRPP catalog (i.e. gears and driveshaft).

Best suggestion for getting the TriAx is just getting it through Steeda...either order it or make a day trip to check out their shop.

As far as the off-road pipe goes...I'd say go with the Bassani x-pipe. Can't go wrong with stainless steel. You can also check out the MAC h-pipe. The price is usually pretty fair (generally lower than the Bassani), but I never did like their cheap "HTS" coating over aluminized piping. I think Scott is a MAC dealer as well.

 

Id do 3.90s and an xpipe with borlas, densecharger CAI and the steeda

 

Have you decided on what you are doing with the rear suspension yet? If not, may I make a suggestion as to what made my solid rear car handle like it was on rails?

Steeda boxed aluminum lower control arms
Steeda ajustable upper control arms
Steeda tubular front swaybar (paint it black and nobody will know tech wise)

Try that stuff out before you go IRS. At the very minimum, do the lower control arms. They are an easy driveway swap. Grasshoppa say: harness power you have first before adding more.

 

And do 4.10's if you plan on auto-xing the car.
