Are you going to do an electric cutout, Andy?

 

[tubbedstangeater]

There's a cutout in downpipe. Might do electric later

Quarter stick shifter mockup tomorrow. Stock shifter had plastic gates to modify with plastic roller. Not interested in reinventing the wheel. Moving on to fuel and finish wiring. Next year I'll focus on guages. All I need is a shift light.

Looks good! One recommendation for the down pipe is not to do a forced split Y (capital Y) like you have, it creates turbulence and back pressure, do a lazy y (lowercase y) if you will. With that cutout open it wont really matter though lol

 

[tubbedstangeater]

I agree that's optimal but in all reality I should run a straight through style muffler unlike the stock ones I mounted. That's where the open header comes in at the track. I just want a quiet car for the street. I hated how loud my old car was.

What a pain in the ass.

Doing wiring . This is a nightmare but coming along. I want it to be clean.

Went for a test drive today with no failures and it felt great . Post some pre final pics soon

Excellent man! How's it feel to be almost dialed in?

 

[tubbedstangeater]

It's so smooth compared to my old fox. It handles great and the wife loves driving it.

what transmission are you running and how did you make the trans crossmember work? Also did you install a manual rack? looks like you left the factory v6 rack in with no p/s pump.

 

[tubbedstangeater]

I did leave the stock pwr rack in. I plan on integrating a pump. So far it's not that bad driving around . I'll figure that out in a month. I'm running a c4. I made a 5/16 plate adapter to stock member and moved member to fwd most holes. Manual racks are 700 dollars from what I see. A pump and lines are far less but work. It's still work in process.

great! but...I think the badges need to go up a bit.

 

[tubbedstangeater]

No they're fine.

 

[tubbedstangeater]

Rides like a dream !! Smoother than my fox and feels like it transfers pwr much better.

 

[tubbedstangeater]

Not bad on 19s and average of 14 psi with terrible 60fts.

Awesome build!
