I'll keep an eye out for the next couple weeks then. Thanks for the tip.
Just installed the armrest. Truth be told I couldn't feel the differece between the alleged leather and the vinyl from the stock piece. It's only slightly more cushiony. If it wasnt' for the stitching that goes along the sides I don't think I'd know the difference. It's probably the dumbest mod I've done. Doesn't get my recomendation.

 

Way to go, Leo!

I'll inspect your work when I see it Saturday.

BTW, how does the car look 'level' compared to the forward rake?



Pretty much the same as what Tom did... I tied something heavy on a string and suspended it from the center of the wheel well fender to the wheel center cap.

For some reason, my axle was centered after the drop.

Even if it were off a little, I've read that it really doesn't harm anything, just looks shifted to one side, especially if you're running wide rubber in the back.



I was thinking about that mod once I see it in person. From what you're saying, ... save my money.

Does that come with the TB approved stamp?

To me it acutally looks as if the front is higher now maybe just an illusion since my gargage has a slight incline. Either that or maybe just a mind trick since I know the front springs haven't been changed. I'll look at it tomorrow when I take it out to go pick up my floor mats and mudflaps.

I'll do this test tomorrow and report back. Not to worried about it.

I think once you see it on Saturday you'll agree. I'm considering sending it back but I'll wait and see if maybe the combo of the ebrake and the lid together change my mind.

I did unwrap the ebrake just to check it out and I think you just might consider swapping it for your MGW handle. It looks really good IMO.

 

Stop procrastinating and install your new mods. The difference won't be dramatic enough to cause you to lose control.

 

The front should be higher now. Remember... the back needed to be dropped about 3/4" to match the front, but you dropped it around 1 1/4".

Leo - I thought I was up early... or didn't you go to bed, yet??

 

Wow I was just re reading the last few posts and I didn't expect to see a response. LOL nope I just haven't gone to sleep yet. It's only 1am.

Ahhhh so I'm not crazy the front is higher.

Did you get my PM??

 

OMG, the news stations are so stupid and DRAMATIC. They have named the storm that is rolling through the next 4-5 days.

 

I have a MGW handle??


Mine only dropped an inch in rear.

Tom, I think your rear end is heavier.



Actually, it does!

 

That's nothing! SoCal is going thru it's coldest Winter yet, FREEZE WATCH 2007!!!

See for yourself.

 

OMG !! How will you ever survive I'll get some blankets, coats and necessities shipped to you overnight.

 

Hey Bill... In an emergency you can use a credit card as an frost scraper on your windshield!

 

Make all the fun ya want, but it really is cold here!

Frost on my Mustang's windshield?? Yeah, right! I don't think so!

 

I can see the news now...


Sunday, Sunday, Sunday...

See... Reporters stuck out in the cold while we focus on a puddle of water
See... Strange white puffy things fully of wet stuff coming down from the sky
See... Californias putting on Jackets.. in Janurary ??
See... Frost on cars

It's

WINTER STORM 2007

The most devastating weather event of the year !!!!*

*Until something else happens.

I better get back to work... I'm spending too much time on teh internets

 

Actually, I have lost 20 lbs in the last 50 days!

1 1/4" is the advertised rear drop. Mine my have been only about an inch, too. But, 1" is still more than the 3/4" needed to level it out.

 

I have a MGW handle??

Woops I could've sworn you had the MGW e-brake handle. I guess I confused pics of your car with Tom's.


TB Seal of approval.


The weather lady here in SD said we might actually have some "frost."

 

20 lbs? Good job! Stay away from Taco Bell and the like and you'll be shedding off even more poundage.

Me on the other hand, have gained a few pounds since the holiday. To make things worse, I'll be going on a 3 day cruise next weekend!... and you know what that means..

 

Tomorrow will be Leo's front springs and e-brake day!

I'll be sure to take a lot of pics of him working. Sometimes it's nice to kick-back and watch.

J/K Leo, I'll pass you some tools and hold the flashight.

 

Umm... I don't think Tom has the MGW handle either.

You're losing it, Leo.

Sounds good to me. See ya Saturday.

I guess It's because I'm getting old.

 

I have an MGW e-brake handle?

Yep, I was 196 awhile back, and now this morning I was 176. I'm not following Atkins or anything, but I am watching carbs. I basically am eating smarter and with less easily-burnable carbs in the body, it's forced to switch to burning fat.
