Kyle5.0 Posted August 9, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Thanks guys. I considered cutting the springs but I don't really want to tear it all apart just to do it all again in another month or so. I think a drop will really help it pull off the yellow cobra r's. I think I'm just going with sportlines for now and should be able to have them ordered by the beginning of Sept. Here is a quick little PS of my exterior end goals. I still can't decide if I want to go to OEM corner lights though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Prokiller Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 wonder what carbon fiber saleen stripes would look like. and i vote to keep the clears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 i think the stock ambers would look better than the clears. or a slightly smoked one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyle5.0 Posted August 15, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2016 To all those saying to cut my springs... I caved in and did it. I'm going to do full MM coil overs over the winter so this is just to get me by until then. I took off 1.5 coils up front and a little over a coil in the rear DSC_0961 by Kyle Matson, on FlickrDSC_0959 by Kyle Matson, on FlickrDSC_0964 by Kyle Matson, on Flickr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sho Amo Posted August 16, 2016 Report Share Posted August 16, 2016 Much better! You should think about trying to get the underside of the lower grill to stay up.

RideTech_Ryan Posted August 17, 2016 Report Share Posted August 17, 2016 I may know of another company that sells a really nice adjustable coilover kit that works great for that car. Gives it one hell of a stance and ride quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kyle5.0 Posted July 8, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2017 (edited) Thanks guys! Some progress has been made since my last update. I made it to 3 local autox's and the car has done great. The only thing holding me back is my cheap all season tires. Im planning to finish this season on them to get seat time and understand how to really drive the car and not rely on tires. The local CAM class is very competitive and is full of helpful people. Here are some pictures and a small video of my first event with the car. Untitled by Kyle Matson, on Flickr I also took off the s351 wing to do some cleaning and the rivnuts inserted in the wing decided to strip/spin so it probably wont be going back on..... So what do I decide to do? Build a custom autox/nascar style spoiler. Ive got my template made up and will be using 1/8" aluminum which should be ready to pick up on Monday. I need to order some support rods and figure out what kind of hing/bracket I will use to mount it to the trunk.

Kyle5.0 Posted July 20, 2017 Author Report Share Posted July 20, 2017 Finished product. I am pretty pleased with the end result.

Kyle5.0 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Bringing this back from the dead. Life has been getting pretty busy but Im still managing to get a little work done on the car and do some racing. Since the last update Ive done a few more suspension modifications and acquired another set of wheels. The motor is still running strong even with the tensioner/chain noise I was concerned with from the beginning. After this season my plans are to pull the entire timing system apart and replace everything. The first thing I needed to do was get a set of decent tires since this was turning into a dedicated autox car. I went with Falken rt615k+'s in a 255/40/17. The shorter height helps with acceleration but Im looking to move to an 18 wheel in the near future for more tire options. IMG_0474 (5) by Kyle Matson, on Flickr Next up was to redo the suspension to add some adjustability. I went with MM coilovers all around. Up front I also added an FTR bumpsteer kit and some repo Cobra 13" brakes. DSC_0660 by Kyle Matson, on Flickr MM Panhard Bar with MM coilovers on Koni SA's. The rear coilovers really helped dial out some of the understeer, Im very happy with the rear setup now. IMG_E0830 by Kyle Matson, on Flickr IMG_0831 by Kyle Matson, on Flickr Stifflers installed SFC's IMG_0645 (1) by Kyle Matson, on Flickr Rebuilt rear with FRPP 3.73's and CF clutch packs. Makes up some for the weak 2v IMG_1344 by Kyle Matson, on Flickr DSC_0711 by Kyle Matson, on Flickr And now for one of my favorite additions. I found a set of mint Forgeline RS's on CL pretty local to me for a great price. They polished up almost perfect, I dont think they had every been ran on a car before.

Kyle5.0 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 (edited) Only "power" modification that has been done is an OEM FRPP 70mm TB. My goal for this car is to make it "look" like it was built in the early 2000's so I've been trying to source some old school parts.

Only reason I ask is since I’m not too far I’m considering having them do the fit system install once I get the car back together Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk I want to say it was $300 installed for just the subframe connectors, including parts. They let me hangout in the bay with them and seemed like great guys, I definitely recommend them. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
