Sho Amo Posted April 21, 2015 Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 (edited) I finally got a car I've been wanting to get since I was a kid. I was holding out for a rip red/black 96-98 coupe but settled for a rio red/saddle 94 because it was really clean. Here's a list of mods it has already. BBK cold air BBK o/r x pipe Flowmaster cat back Eibach springs Eibach sway bars SR shifter Braided brake lines 18/9-10 fr500 BFG drag radials in the rear. Here's some pics! Step 1 = Bump steer kit. No question. Step 2 = probably shocks Can anyone recommend a bump steer kit? Edited August 28, 2018 by Sho Amo Update! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Psychorugby Posted April 21, 2015 Moderators Report Share Posted April 21, 2015 Nice car! I'm a big fan of the Rio/Saddle combo myself . Bump steer - Maximum Motorsports, especially if you plan on using any of their other parts. Steeda is good too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you plan on going with the MM K member, get the drill through the spindle style of bumpsteer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've got much more research to do before I pull the trigger on a kit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Amo Posted April 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 28, 2015 Sorry guys, I jumped ship on the horizontals club... I got these with harnesses for 60 bucks. Found out one is aftermarket and one is stock, so I'll be replacing the stock one eventually.Dirty: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busta Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Awesome! You used to have a KB on it? Any more info to share? Yessir! The only modifications that I had made to the vehicle were installing a 2.1L Kenne Bell blower which was running at 5.8lbs. The car at the time was dyno'd and put down 320rwhp/355rwtq. The tires that you have on the car should be almost brand spanking new. I had put BFG radials on the rear and Falken's on the front. I also installed the short-throw shifter, and the brakes w/ stainless steel lines with the help of Steve on here so they have very few miles on them as well. Any questions feel free to ask. It looks like the guy who bought it from me in NC put everything under the hood back to stock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busta Posted April 29, 2015 Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Nahhh he got a super clean car that was loved and babied! When I had originally bought the car I had seen an interior pic and knew that based on the condition of the driver seat leather that was the one. it was never beat on with the KB or raced. I miss owning a Cobra but have been in the BMW world these days. I figured that would happen once I started selling them lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, but I'll tell ya what - had I not gotten such a great deal on the KB I wouldn't have gone that route. I would have loved to build the top-end and make the power all motor. The KB was a heat machine! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Amo Posted April 29, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2015 Thanks guys! Like I said before I only got it because of how clean it is. I've got some engine plans for it in the future but right now It needs suspension work. It is pretty damn slow though. Lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for the suspension, it has the eibach pro-kit that the previous owner had installed but is riding on stock shocks/struts. If i recall correctly one of the front sway bar end-links is missing.

Sho Amo Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Well one of the end links wasn't missing but it was missing some bushings. Got new ones today, and installed my MM bump steer kit with poly rack bushings. Notice one missing bushing under the sway bar. This was on both sides.I also did the little throttle mod and it really helped! I still want to get a wider throttle pedal for heel toe action :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busta Posted May 4, 2015 Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Nice! Yes I meant end-link bushings derp! It must ride sooo much better with the bumpsteer kit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Amo Posted May 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 4, 2015 Yeah it definitely does but I'm still getting some play in the steering and it looks like it's within the rack. Rag joint is good and so are the inner tie rods. Probably going to go with a used 03/04 cobra rack. Spoiler comes Wednesday :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busta Posted May 5, 2015 Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 What kind of spoiler did you order? s281? I always wanted to put one of those on but if you want to keep the 3rd brake light you have to swap the trunk lid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sho Amo Posted May 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 5, 2015 Yeah I wasn't sure how I was going to handle it. I was thinking maybe I just won't run a 3rd light. It's registered historic and doesn't get driven much anyways. I may just get a trunk lid and have it shaved at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
