Thanks.
It's coming along sloowwly.

We replaced my wifes car with a new Mustang GT a couple of months ago, so I'm kinda broke right now (and for the next five years!).

Coming together bit by bit.

Nice Ride!! How does your car handle, ride and brake? I am planning on almost the same susp and brake setup, and wheel/tire combo you have. Would be nice to have some feedback before i spend a few K on susp, lol. TL

Thank you.

It handles very good, ride is firm but not to harsh, if I avoid the potholes. It brakes nicely also, though the pedal is pretty hard. I'm planning to get an sn95 brake booster, or a smaller bore (15/16in.) master cylinder to hopefully fix that.

With the exception of the Koni shocks/struts, all the other suspension work has been done for a couple of years.

I was out for a spring gallop on a nice twisty country road after the other work was done 2 years ago.
Happened to be behind a 944 that was also clearing out the pipes. Followed him for for about a 1.5 miles without losing an inch of ground, and we were both pushing it pretty hard.

When the road ended in a T, he turned right, I left.
He gave me the thumbs up through the rear window as he turned.

Felt pretty good to get props from the driver of a car I had no right keeping up with.
I think he was surprised I did!
:D

Warning: The M/M panhard bar is a bitch to snake anything other than stock 87-93 exhaust, or dynomax pipes around. I had to ditch my Mac cat back in favor of a Dyno max system. I miss the Mac, it sounded better IMHO.

Thats good to Hear! I want my car to handle like my 95 cobra, hopefully i can achieve that, it will just cost a little money. So a bassani catback will not work with the panhard bar? I sure hope it will. Thanks again for the feedback, it is greatly appreciated. Once again, love your car!!! TL

Thanks. Man if you guys (and gals) could see it in person. The paint looks like ass! 10 year old used car lot job that started peeling 10 years ago!

Other than that I'm happy with it. Most work has gone into (and going into) the mechanicals at this point.

I guess every flaw stands out to me. I'm always surprised when someone says "nice car" 8O

The rotors I had on were SVO/Mark VII (same thing)
New stuff came off a friends 2001 cobra that was being upgraded.
