Tabres Posted January 28, 2016 Report Share Posted January 28, 2016 Bitchin. Car looks great! I've always been a big fan of the longer studs in the rear, too. Gives it an all business look. If I can make a suggestion, though... tire shine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can make a suggestion, though... tire shine I couldn't agree more about the wheel studs.... to bad the proper APR studs for an IRS are 70 bucks instead of the typical 15 for a pack of 5..

I work nights and have to get up early to make c&c cause it's an hour drive away (I live way out in the country),combined with a busy week I just plain ran out of time. Also not have drivin the car in awhile I just wanted to get behind the wheel, but don't worry I will have them shined for this weekends events.[emoji106]Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SublimeRT Posted January 31, 2016 Report Share Posted January 31, 2016 Ugh those wheels are so nice. I really like the classics with a twist. I really dig those decals on the lips as well. The car looks great man, good job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Posted March 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2016 Not much going on with the car cause waiting on parts from powder I got back today. Re-did the harness in flex, changing a lot of other small things too. Also go engaged last weekend to my g/f of 7 years. Pretty exciting things going on lately for me and also hoping to get the car back together this weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zach Posted April 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2016 Picked up this 03 cobra t56 and a driveshaft shop 950 aluminum driveshaft for a t45 swap I had laying around and 60$. All that's wrong with it is the Throwout bearing retainer is broken; already been inside the transmission and it is in immaculate condition gonna prolly run it as as and build it with the d&d magnum upgrade kit later on. All I need to find is a scatter shield for a and and it's ready to throw in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted April 12, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2016 (edited) Well after running the numbers on the trans I found it is actually a cobra r spec ford racing t56, with the 31 spline out put with 2.97 first and .62 od. I think this is good and bad, Good for the first gear and the 31 spline output and bad because I don't believe anyone makes a 26 spline input for the 2.97 first gear. Any of you guys got any info on this?? Edited April 12, 2016 by Zach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted September 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2016 Traded rear out of my car for a low Mile 04 irs with the full mm bushing kit and billet flow brace. Anyone with experience on this swap leave some info it looks to be pretty straight forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanter Posted September 12, 2016 Report Share Posted September 12, 2016 It's as straightforward as they come really. Biggest thing is drilling for the rear brackets. Lots of ways to do it so take your pick but I think the easiest would be to use long bolts and a backing plate and drill all the way into the trunk similar to reinforcing torque boxes. Or if you have access to a welder you can weld nuts, or bolts for that matter, into the frame rails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The when I get it together take it to have the brackets finish welded in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, for now I tapped the frame rails and used fine thread grade 8 bolts but this winter I am going to tear the trunk apart and just come through the floor with long bolts and backing plates. I think Dan had his IRS bolted through the trunk floor with backing plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zach Posted September 14, 2016 Author Report Share Posted September 14, 2016 Yea I believe he did, I'm working on it now and drilled up into the trunk, I'm really surprised how thin the metal is in the trunk compared to on the bottom of the Frame rail.

Yea my sra had Yukon 31 spline axles Yukon locker, welded tubes arp cap studs diff girdle cobra brakes and gt brakes went with it, maximum motor sports extreme duty weight jacket lower control arms, cobra spec stock boxed uppers, h&r torque arm springs mm valved bilstiens, braided brake lines and all the other stuff. For the money I had in my sra it was a pretty fair trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabres Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I've got a very comparable SRA to what yours was, including a MM panhard bar and coil-overs, and people still wanted a lot of cash on top of my SRA for even non-built IRS's. Some folks just seem to think they're worth their weight in gold. Idk where you guys find all of these deals.. Awesome upgrade, though. This car just keeps getting better and better.

Well the guy I traded with has had a couple of 8 and 9 second Cobras and basically hates irs, he said he hasn't had his most recent car a week and was ready to get rid of it and I was in the right place at the right time.

Lanter Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 That seems to be the only way to grab an IRS for a realistic price, right place right time. I feel there are two categories for the IRS, 1) way over priced and will sit for sale for months or 2) guys that hate the IRS for some reason and just want to get rid of it but those things sell within hours....

Zach Posted October 8, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2016 Got it all wrapped up, slp lm1 catback installed and everything else. I have to say I was worried the lm1's would be to loud but they are actually just the right medium in between loud and quiet. For some reason the h&r springs that came with the irs have the rear of the car sitting a fair amount lower than the front so I had to throw a set of Mach wheels on there to drive it around. The Ccw's were basically sitting on the fenders, I put the old rubber isos in there so figured that was some of the problem so I orderd 2 sets of new urethane isolators to put in there and stack of need be to get me by until I can get a set of mm coilovers for this thing. Over all I feel this is one of the best mods I have done for this car, I do not believe I have ever enjoyed driving it as much as I do now. The car is so planted to the road and instills a great amount of confidents in the bends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
