Tony Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 it's impossible not to care about the show part when you're dropping crazy money in a car imo lol. i'd think you could make it stay racecar'ish with lightweight billet wheels and the right tire. even if it's an 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted April 16, 2015 Report Share Posted April 16, 2015 The cat serves as a secondary caliper. They get mounted right next to the calipers and when you need a little extra stopping power they dig those claws in lol. @Josh@RideTech those brakes are going to be badass!

Josh@RideTech Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Ran into a minor setback... I put a new Ford Racing oil pan on the engine, along with a stock replacement oil pump, back when I was putting the engine together. There are 4 bolts on top of the oil pump, one came in contact with the edge of the pan when I tightened everything down, so I pulled the pan back off and made sure there wasn't a hole. I didn't see one so I put a button head bolt in the pump, so there wasn't any more of a clearance issue, and put the pan back on and put around 5 quarts of oil in it. It's been sitting on my stand for almost 4 months with the oil in it, no leaks whatsoever. I put it in the car on Saturday, hooked up the trans, and was working on it last night....and there's oil running out of the front sump of the pan, where the bolt/pan made contact. So...the K member is coming back out and I'm ordering a Canton pan, I guess this is my reason to make buying the pan justifiable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted April 28, 2015 Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 That really sucks about the leak from the pan, you won't be disappointed in the Canton pan. I have their road race pan and it's super nice, soooo many trap doors in that thing lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have their road race pan and it's super nice, soooo many trap doors in that thing lol. It did, I wasn't really pissed, just more disappointed that I had to step backwards...but it happens! It's in and done now. I've got the headers on, got the high amp alternator coming, and finishing up some wiring. New MAF, I've got the base tune for the 36lb injectors...now, just to get it running and to the dyno... I've been playing with the new widebands, mocking up the Dakota Digital setup, and tucking everything away . and drilling this 7/8" hole through the sheet metal was by far the scariest thing I've done for a while...
