car needs power brakes, no question about it. i get really bad wheel hop when launch from a dig.and exhaust fumes suck....also i hope i never use that stupid 5 point harness again or that race seat.the harness takes like 3 mins to put on its bs. i need to get rid of the wheel hop bad. wonder if the stock sway bar would help? theres no rear sway bar currently. and i have to fix the hung up front caliper, looks to be a 93 cobra caliper or just a 93 gt
look sequential license plate numbers... how cute
had to weld in stuff to strap in the gas tank on one side, this is where im getting smoked out, cus my exhaust dumps at the axle
so now i have a fool cel
car sits high in the rear too

You should be able to take the rear sway bar off the black car, and it should mount right up. Probably won't help much for wheel hop, but it would deff. help with body roll.
i dont have the quad shocks on, but im going to see about putting them on. anyone know if they are a shock or dampener? ive never seen any spring back
wonder if its the lack of quad shocks, car has considerable rake to it front wheels tuck while rear is up kinda high
the bushing bolt was in the rubber not the metal sleeve. and the front calpier was not retracting so i took one of the 87, problem solved. the brakes suck bad so im pulling the manual master and adding my booster and getting a new master, any suggestions on what master to run. i currently have a 2 port master its just a manual one so i cant use the 3 port 87 one

I dont know if i have standard or metric threads . and i dont know that that one would work well with my rear disc brakes. I was under the impression my car had been converted to a 2 port, but dont remember my 0ld 86 and 85 gt cars having that master. so 85-86 are 2 port?

turns out my car has that same master its just bolted to a special plate that allows you to convert to manual brakes so all i have to do is remove that and insert my 87 brake booster . yesterday my other front brake caliper started hanging up. so now i gotta pull the other one off the 87 too. still got some funny wheel hop when i get on it and i hear a wierd poping noise in the front end sometimes. also cant get my steering wheel centered for some reason. all in all the cars close to all done and of course after all that trouble with the dash my heater core is leaking now!!!Apparently so.. The link I posted shows a picture of it.
