Everything matches and looks cool though.

I saw it. Stupid.

Special effects look so overdone, it looks silly.

That said, I'll watch it once I get a bootleg copy of it.

Installing the UCA is easy.









Adjusting it is a biotch.

It will be installed on a rack....I'm not crawling underneath to do this one....
I already had the J&M Adj. panhard bar so this completes the set.

+1,0000000000000000

Last night I took the center console apart as I had to replace the Pioneer Ipod cable because the sound would cut out randomly. While I was in there I decided to route the GPS antenna to the shelf above the back seats. Everything is working great again.



Next up I have to re-grease my front sway bar bushings this weekend because they're noisy as all hell right now.

That'll help, but I still say it's a pita to install.

Sal what's the goal you're going after with your car? Looks like your going the drag route.

Ya that UCA is a beatch especially for the solo home mechanic. The parts look pretty, looks like your in that buying mode we fall into when your car is not running yet. Which is fine but get that motor built, tuned and installed as your primary goal. Chances are your going to come across surprise expenses before it's all over. Hopefully the process doesn't kill the fun of owning a stang.

LOL!

I saw it and it looks like an interesting concept, but the plane sequence was a bit 'over done'... Still, it definitely has me intrigued...

Yes, I am going drag racing, at least a little bit....but i wanted stuff that will also work on a road course, and still be streetable. I chose those arms with the poly ***** because they articulate like rod ends but without the noise and harshness....traditional poly bushings dont articulate well....they never have and you will experience a rise in roll rate as your chassis binds during roll....not good.

Also, the adjustable relo brkts will allow me to raise my instant center for drag racing and then flatten them back out for minimized roll steer when cornering is my focus.

I've got this one. Ford Racing doesn't have one for our cars.

Laura G, you'll have to excuse our friend Leo, he hasn't been taking his estrogen pills lately.
