UPR member hmm i have been thinking about one of those new fangled things ... @SharadYou sure its a UPR member? Is it stamped on there somewhere?
Thems GLENNS rails is purdy ! What system did you end up going with for fuel ? I like the glens but really liking the aeromotive Sleeper kitThis shi t is just getting better by the day. Now I have to get a different nut for one of the motor mounts AND 2 of the a-arm bolts because the stock flanged nuts won't fit on this POS k-member.
Not gonna get the nut on that bolt
Here's the nut next to the bolt
Oh and I got an email from UPS saying my packages from LMR will be delayed due to severe weather.
But I did put my fuel rails and injectors on.
At this point, there is NO WAY this is a UPR k-member. But I don't have the time or money to get one right now. It'll have to happen later.You sure its a UPR member? Is it stamped on there somewhere?
I was there. The weather actually turned out great Thursday and Friday. Saturday was a washout but a couple of shops just did "dyno-nights". We had a great time as usual. Oh, BTW, my buddy's car wasn't ready either. He's actually STILL waiting for his new Tb plenum to arrive after going back and forth with Lightning Force Performance and their sh itty customer service.@stangboy Well, I definitely would NOT make any plans to head this way this weekend, unless its in a boat.
**UPDATE**
"In order to use the stock crossmember I had to grind the welds off so it could be adjustable.
The stock crossmember worked like a champ once I made it adjustable".
So now I have to call AP back and let them know that they did, in fact, send me a defective crossmember that they insisted they didn't. I'll be shipping it back along with the big a$$ transmission mount that came in the installation kit. I ended up using a stock sized polyurethane mount.
Now I can start making some progress again and hopefully have the thing running and tuned before mid summer. Wish me luck.
I guess if grinding some welds so it could be adjustable is considered modifying it then i guess you could say that....BUT their crossmember was made SPECIFICALLY to mount this transmission(well pretty much any manual bigger than a T5) into a fox body mustang and it DID NOT do what it was intended to do. So as far as I'm conserned they either owe me money or a credit....I don't think they have anything else I need right now so I'll take the cash. But I'll see when I talk to them tomorrow.So let me get this straight.......If in the end, the new cross member was the problem, wouldn't you have been able to verify that by simply putting the stocker back?
And, if you had to modify that stock cross member to get it to fit, you may want to omit that fact when you call AP for a refund.
Made a little bit of progress lately. I finally found a strut nut to lock the down the driverside of the front suspension. I put the front brakes on. I need to find the lines that I bought a while back and put them on. I got my measurement for my driveshaft and emailed it to American powertrain. So my driveshaft should be coming soon.
Here are a few pics
This new strut nut is so pretty I might put the other new one on the other side just to match it.
Took a few pics of the transmission mainly because I hadn't taken any since it's been in the car with a crossmember that fit.
BTW @madmike1157 I think my thread fits the criteria for a "Build Thread". Don't you think?
Ohh I'm sorry, I you must've missed the part where drag car builds, regardless of who does them will not be allowed in the "build thread" category
.
Just kidding.
Boom.
Uhhh I don't know,..... now it makes it easier to see that you have a major ordeal infront of you w/ the wiring spaghetti hanging there. Good luck. I'm glad that part is behind me.
