Jefc73/Making it my own

[Mach01]

One sidenote. When using the Steeda billet swaybar mounts they use sockethead bolts instead of hex head bolts. the rear bolt on the drivers side mount is tough to get to (see pic) I made a tool to fit in this tight spot. Took an allen key and cut the end off and used a ratcheting wrench to fit over and tighten the bolt reaching in from the wheel well.

Yes. I had some trouble here as well. Had to lift engine and borrow a tool, basically same as you made.

Got the SCT tuner and tune from Steeda today. Will be doing a Christmas eve install tomorrow. Installing the Steeda CAI and tune. Thanks to [MENTION=10893]David@Steeda[/MENTION] and Matt as well for the quick tune turnaround.

 

[jefc73]

Got the Steeda CAI installed and the custom tune. PITA to get everything lined up but managed. Seat of the pants feel...holy shit it woke the car up. Breaks the tires loose easier and response is quicker. FRPP struts and shocks next. Its winter up here now so temps are cold. Have a portable heater that does a nice job in the garage so hopefully in the next week I will have it done. I have the ultra light linear Steeda springs on the struts right now but may try the progressives first.

Looking good, Jeff!

Got the FRPP struts and shocks on today with the Steeda Ultra lite springs.

Great choice. Read good things about that setup.

Looks awesome!! Can't wait to see the new setup in a whole. I still LOVE those wheels... Are you going to take it to any track days when the weather improves?

 

[jefc73]

I probably will Jarrod. There is a track up here in Michigan called Gingerman raceway. They do SCCA stuff I believe so will try and make it out there for a track day.

Just bought the RTR rear valance for Black Betty. Thanks [MENTION=10447]AMAlexLazarus[/MENTION] Taking a break on the suspension stuff for a bit. Will put this on and the FRPP rear decklid applique soon. Waiting on the custom coyote badges to install on front grille and FRPP decklid applique as well. Black nickel with red badges.

[MENTION=8574]derieuz[/MENTION] The ride is in the garage under cover right now. Not a daily driver so when snow clears will get in driveway and get a few shots.
