Apparently I registered back in 04 but never posted. Ive searched and gotten some good info off here before but cant really find a good answer to this question.
I have a 97 Cobra convertible that i bought new with about 76,0xx original miles on it. Its stock other than than the SVO side pipes and 3.73(I think) rear end and a steeda tri ax shifter.
What would you guys suggest for some good driveablity mods?
So far I definitly want to do some maximum motorsport sub-frame connectors(the full big ones) but I need to find a good chassis shop in Danbury CT area as Ive heard ALOT of horror stories about poor installs and doors not closing right after.
What else would you guys suggest to make it a great user friendly everyday kind of car? Im also looking at some eibach springs and tockio shocks since those need to be replaced, but will wait until I get a better exhaust as the side pipes are taking at least 2 inches of ground clearance to get out the side.
I want to build a nice blvd cruiser. I already know that I want a style bar and cervini 2 piece hard tonneau. Motor work Im not worried about right now. Maybe in the future build a nice 5.4L N/A motor unless it cheaper to buy a crate one. I would like to get a nice exhaust set up with long tubes and the whole 9 since Im pretty sure that the side pipes are sucking HP away. The exhaust has to turn 180 degrees inside the muffler, then it turns another 120 back or so to get out the side. it looks and sounds great,(very 60s muscle car-ish) especially since I retrofitted the stock side sills when my SVO fiberglass got destroyed, but im growing tired of it. I would like to do a long tube back, but would I be able to start with a X pipe or H pipe(which is better btw) and mate that to my stock manifolds, then mate it to the headers when I get them? Possible or just do everything at once?
Thanks guys, any suggestions you can provide expecially on the driveability side would be great.
Cheers,
Dave
Oh and does anyone make good trim pieces or little stuff that ISNT chrome? I have the 2 tone saddle leather tan and black interior, so adding aluminum or chrome to the interior just seems like too much to me. its already 2 tone, 3 tone might be a little much and Im much more of an understanted style kind of guy. Thanks
