mostly what I wanted the go-pro for is to mount on the car to see how the suspension is working, like under the car and see how much the car is moving and tires are working..

That is exactly what I was thinking when traction becomes a issue.

Huh? Not sure whatcha mean.

Man, being 6'2 and 315 lbs made this way harder than it should be on jack stands. Only took a pic of the bar itself, but this thing is so solid driving down the road. Cannot wait to hit the track now. Gotta put the nitrous on now.

My welds were nowhere near as nice as I wanted but I managed to get it as square as possible. With me in the car, set to neutral was not far off from no one in the car but still needed to be slightly adjusted.



This is a quality product, and UPR made sure the construction was as good as it get. Only thing they could do better is maybe offer steel heim joints for street use, but these are not intended for anything but track use. Even says so in the bar.

That's the bar I have on my car and NO kidding on the "not for street use" I drove mine about 20 miles to a cruise night and forgot to unhook it. The tab welded to the rear end housing broke off. That bastard makes the car Stiff

You gotta be careful, but it's not too bad.

Of all the things to go missing while I was I stalling the nitrous, I cannot for the life of me, find the micro switch...

Too tired to finish wiring it anyway.

Threw some 275/60 nitto 555r ok the rear and traction is fantastic. If it can hook this good in nittos then hitting it everything on slicks at the track should be no problem.

I'll see if I get time one day, tomorrow will be grinding to get the nitrous wired up, slicks swapped out, re wire the trailer connection for the lights and load up for the track.

TCI shifter and 4 speed gate plate on the way.

Searching for a core or a built 4L80 as we speak.

Found some 4.30 gears as well.

Thank god after reading this whole thread you didn't sell it! Man the last couple of days i have been thinking about pulling the Lq9 from my 02 Z28 and put my Lq4 in its place and spary the hell out of my mustang with the lq9. Too many choices, I love the 4eye by the way. I lost out on the chance to swap my 93 over to the 4eye.

Should have told them to paint it white. you could chase any leaks down faster that way..

I actually thought about painting my engine block white when I first got it. But I got impatient at getting it put in and said screw it.
