Put together a list today. No toter or other new toys this year (brolite exempt…), car deserves too much.
Want to order shocks soon, like this week soon, hopefully.
I still have never heard from Fox on my application from last year. Know who I should pester? Should I just order through one of you?
Any issues with getting things set up for my car if it's bought that way?
Need: relatively exact sprung weights F&R and motion ratios OR free lengths, spring rates, preload and ride height lengths. I don't think I have all 4 spring rates, just 3. Should be able to measure the rate with a scale against the wall and my dumbass vice setup, right?
Ryan - do you still have a wholesale at ruffstuff to get stocked up on heims?
Any eBay vendor in particular I should look at for link material? I need to check my current sizes and clearances and lengths, I think it's my front uppers that are bent for clearance, but the frame side mounts might be able to move enough to be able to go straight. I don't recall if my uppers are 1.75 or 2" currently.
I'd like to match Matt's sizing with 2" upper and 2.375 lowers all around if that will clear. Seems right. 1.25" heims x16. I don't see a reason for 1.25 on the uppers - other than 1" don't seem to exist, and 7/8 seems too small.
Rear bumps, and whatever it takes to properly place them.
Rear swaybar - probably similar setup to smike's with long arms, though below the chassis.
Replace rear spare mount & bumper. Probably end up going high with the tire and use the first generation tail lights. Probably not bother running a spare for racing with the liners unless I start getting flats.
Unfuck front driveshaft, I think I have the parts for that in my shaft pile now. Not certain.
New ujoints in rear shaft.
tighten lacing on driver seat
tweak steering wheel further down
fresh hood without as many holes for things that aren't there anymore
I'll wait to plate the subframe tubing until I'm U4 banded. Going to be hard enough to hit 4400#. Kinda worried about that with gaining shock weight. Pre-KOH '15 weight was 4460 with I-don't-recall how much fuel and no tools/spares at all. Might have to do lightweight hubs/brakes to make it without pulling real parts.
Target: shakedown weekend of 4/9
Chances for begging some [significant] shop time?
- shocks/sprung weight measurement? Probably can do here without too much trouble.
- links
- link mounts
- shock mounts
- driveshaft shit?
