Aloha everyone. New member here! I'm going to document my build so far. Any feedback would be appreciated! Hope this is the correct location for this build thread? Anyways her it goes!
welcome. What are your plans? V8 swap? street, strip? Know that is you are planning a V8 swap essentially everthing related to the cars are different- brakes, suspension, cooling, harnesses, transmission, engines, exhaust.
Wow...Hawaii jeesh. I can only imagine the shipping rates. Good job... I'll be watching this build.
So as of right now the car runs and drives great however I'm going to swap the sn master/booster and pedal assembly over soon because the rear breaks aren't doing much. Also the rims that I got with the sn95 were hideous :/ and so wide that I wouldn't pass a safety inspection. They would also bottom out on the fender wells going over bumps So I started looking for a different set. At first I was going to buy a set of steel bassets because there cheap and I can get free shipping on Amazon prime. Idk if anyone here is familiar with living in hawaii but the shipping prices are insane!
After about a week of shopping I found a set of bullets 17x8 on Craigslist and went to check them out. Turned out they were brand spanking new oem ford rims!! Gave the guy $350 and loaded them up. Had them installed on the car the next morning.
I would get an adjustable proportioning valve so you can adjust the brake bias.. It installs easily under the hood at the junction on the firewall..
