You don't want any of this. '98s were rated at TEN more rwhp than '96s. :burnout: And mine has FLOWMASTERS - we all know that's good for 50 rwhp.

Mine currently doesn't have a MAF. :jester: It'll have a K&N intake, Pro-M MAF, BBK TB, and C&L plenum when it's back together, though. :D

That's my secret. It doesn't make enough power to break traction, so I'm putting 4 spares on it to save weight. :jester:

Can't stand the wheels on it so I borrowed these until I can decide on what I want. Also picked up a cobra gauge cluster. Have the parts to do an egr delete and cop conversion as well.

:nice:

I made my own EGR delete. Cut a blockoff plate for the intake on the plasma at work and welded up the nut off the EGR tube to make a cap for the exhaust. Redneck, but it works.

Where'd you get the Cobra instrument cluster?

rtusnake
08-02-2013, 12:35 PM
Same here, joys of having a machine shop at work. I think my company should sponsor me as many parts I done for the cobra lol.

Bought it off craigslist from a guy in pinson

Say, what all is required to do a COP conversion? And what is the advantage other than getting rid of the sometimes troublesome coil packs?

Just the cops and wiring. It's basically just to clean everything up. The cops have just as many problems really

TheJeanyus
08-20-2013, 09:34 AM
Drill out the tie rod bolt holes in the spindles, bolt 'em up, put the brakes on (Bullitt front brakes with SS hoses), adjust the ride height, eyeball the alignment, and get it to the alignment shop.

Also have the aforementioned CAI, plenum, TB, and MAF and a strut tower brace that need to go on. Oh, and a set of 4.10s.

PI swap will have to wait a while. Too broke to buy the rest of the parts and the tuning stuff I need. Need to sell some of the extra parts I have lying around. I'd like to have it done before the kiddo is born in February, but we'll see.

Manual racks aren't that bad on the street. It sucks to turn while standing still, but even going a couple mph, it's pretty easy to turn.

It's nothing like a power rack after removing the belt. That's a bitch because in addition to turning the wheels, you're also having to force fluid though the lines. Also, the ratio is a bit lower for the manual rack too.

TheJeanyus

My grandfather had a mid 80's Escort Pony with manual steering, and that's the car I learned to drive a manual in. It was a bitch at low speed (which was the only speed it would go :lol: ), but being FWD may have made it worse.
