Thats what i figured was making all the damn racket under my car...it sounded like the damn rear end was gonna fall out. i guess ill just have to get used to it or get some LCAs with poly bushings instead.

I dont have power steering and its really not that bad with the 245s in the front. Hopefully it will feel better with the skinnies though. Also pulled my front sway bar, i drive the car like a granny anyways unless its a straight line.

just a few updates on the car. I got the front frame horns cut out, radiator and stock fans out..putting a griffen and spal fan. Also changing out the opti, putting in a electric water pump and getting rid of the rest of the useless crap under the hood.

Nice work! 
I just picked up a proportioning valve to get rid of my abs unit, so cant wait to get that gone. Did you have a plastic tube like thing right next to your radiator overflow underneath the passenger frame. Not sure what this goes to, was going to pull that and the horns.

Your car is coming along nicely to. Did you ever get the new windshield for it?Im getting ready to order a proportioning valve and line lock for mine to. Im just going to get the summit brand proportioning valve and make my own lines. The black tube thing is from what im told a vacuum canister for your HVAC system which is long gone in my car so i just threw it away.

Just barely a street car lol, I'm still trying to convince myself that mine will be lol Nah, no windshield yet, need to hit the junkyards around here. I am waiting for the warmer weather and I'll start hitting the front end with a cut off wheel.

3rdgen I like how your Formula weight project is going... I just retire from the Navy (Nov) and now live in Cheney. I did a lot of playing in San Diego and now that the weather is starting to come around I can't wait myself to hit the pavement and track at Spokane Raceway. We need to hook up, so I can check out the ride...
