greene: That's cool. I don't check mine often either. I have the cobra brake conversion, & was debating on upgrading to Brembo's or the Wilwood setup. I have the Maximum setup, everything except the torque arm, & have no problems with header clearance. I'm running BBK 1 5/8 long tubes. You can try changing out your springs to bring it up a little. I had a set of old Saleen springs on the car b-4 I changed to the Maximum set up, and only scrapped on large speed bumps so I had my shop measure & set the coil overs to the same height. The handling is 100% better. I can take on & off ramps at 3 time the posted speed. Just still getting use to the handling of the new setup. The ass doesn't swing out like it use to when u get on it in a corner. The rear tires spin & u just slightly point the wheel where u want the car to go. No more wild counter steering in a big drift. I just have to take it to a race shop & get the suspension dialed in. ...
SALEEN90: yea i hear you, i was looking to get a sound system done in my car, but space is limited in the verts, ive been looking at other verts like mine and seeing what setups they have thats nice and boomy without sacrificing much space, i planon getting a 6 pointer for mine as well along with full subframe connectors to stiffen things up, ive been thinking about doing a 5 lug conversion so i can throw 17" SALEEN's on it, but thats gonna be a different ball game....atleast intill i get to the suspension and foot work, right know im focused on the body, i decided to mod up the ol N/A 2.3 thats in it for now intill its on the street which should be soon, and then the new engine is going in, i think i got about 130hp out of the stock 2.3...so ill be good for now, atleast intill i get a new job which makes things really difficult...
SALEEN90: yea i know what you mean by the interior, mine has all kinds of parts and stuff, i guess it comes with the restoration thin lol, but all i need now is 2 front seats, im trying to get some black ones with grey inserts like the back seat, i have them on the front but there cheesy looking, and the seats are broken, but there ebay seat covers, the backseat came out NICE but the front ones gotta be axed, gotta the inside all painted up all nice with black and grey, looks like new again but yea foxbodyforum.com is new, and just now pick things up, and you have the most unique fox of them all!...
