"Slo"bra build

[razrbak]

Busy month outside the garage... was able to get the pan hard installed.






I've had another change. My original plans were to go with a efi 408w set-up, saving over the spring/summer/fall to free up funds... building a borderline beast (for a corner carving fox). Then a friend threw a wrench in the works and turned me onto an option that would save me more than half the money I was anticipating and exponentially speed up the build timeline.



Older gentleman owned, that never saw the track. Fresh crate 347 w/AFR185's and tko500. Donor has all the missing stuff (heat/air-134 conversion, and accessories) I was going to have to piece together. Not quite the oomph I had in my head, but certainly enough to have a fun street car, and probably a faster combo for parking lot play.

It also came with nice little piece.


Original Cobra intake. Upper and lower have been port matched and lower looks has some nice looking port work- I've heard one can make the lower flow fairly well, no personal proof. I may be giving up 20hp(just a guess) or so on above 6500rpm, but I'm pretty jazzed up about the little "cherry on top" for my Fobra.

I run a MM PHB and TA with their lower control arms and Bilstiens w/coil overs. Best mods I ever made besides the power adder.

I was very pleased with what just the pan-hard did for the fox coupe and sn-95 I put them in, this will be my first with the torque arm addition.

The torque arm is actually more important. It completely changes the way the car launches and handles power on tip in... My dad has a GR40 and when u hammer it the entire car lifts up instead of just the front end hopping up... It hooks so much better than my 86 that has standard style suspension.

The PH bar keeps the ass end centered for going around corners... this is mainly for handling. The combo of the two is like having a complately new car... so much more fun to drive. I plan to put a torque arm on my 86 but not a ph bar since there isnt room for it with my exhaust, and I refuse to run smaller pipes or dumps.

you will LOVE this setup, completely transforms the way the car handles and drives...

They will be ditched for a phb/ta set up. The car is turning into a poster child for MM.

This project is coming along nicely.

Looks great! Are you gonna use stock upper control arms?

Slowly, but slowly...
Neighbor friend helped me get the torque boxes and Wolfe lower box plates welded in.
