 The one from the classifieds last week... yeah. The IRS was always in my plans for the car so I couldn't pass up the deal. Next year I'm going to put in a FTBR bushing kit on it but for now I paid $32 shipped from Amazon yesterday for prothane subframe bushing and front/rear diff mount bushing kits so I need to get the tools to go ahead and install those before I get the whole thing installed in the car. For what it would've cost to put in the 3.55 gears I wanted anyways, as well as then getting the stick axle to handle worth a crap was gonna be over $1k, so I spent the $500 on this and figure it'll outhandle the SRA no problem for that amount of money and I got the 3.55 gears already in it.Originally posted by stevoNot a good idea to go Tim 'The Toolman' Taylor on the power phallus.

 What are y'all currently running on it? PHB/TA?Originally posted by Baron View Postsweet. We kicked around buying it and throwing it under the fairmont.
 
 Man with the power levels you'll be at, and considering you already have the full MM rear end on it I wouldn't make the jump in your case. You'll need a fully built rear end will all the FTBR derlin/aluminum bushings, and maybe even new half shafts at some point... My car is slow and will be slow for a long while. Before I really start adding any kind of power I'm making sure the brakes/suspension are up for it, and then I still need to get all the supporting mods done first like fuel, ignition, TB and mass air, etc.Originally posted by kbscobravert View PostIRS Fox? I have always wanted to try that. I even thought about IRS for my 95.Originally posted by stevoNot a good idea to go Tim 'The Toolman' Taylor on the power phallus.

 after we boxed the rear upper/lower arms, added new poly lower and rubber upper bushings, and some good shocks it is very predictable. Ive got some video of driving at ECR that ill edit down some highlights or a short eventful part. I watched my whole hour and 45 mins to see if what I thought was correct really was: I passed the same cars over and over, but never got passed the hole time. The other 'fast cars' were on the other side of the track.Originally posted by bird_dog0347 View PostI bet that thing can be just fine one second and going backwards the next if you aren't paying attention."If I asked people what they wanted, they would have said faster horses." - Henry Ford

 If you can believe, I once considered keeping power around 450 max.

We're going to Costco.

 I don't suppose you have the soft brake lines to connect the calipers to the hard lines do you? If so, want to sell them to me?Originally posted by Chas_svo View PostYou might pm DarrenM.
