twistedneck replied to the thread S550 Lightweight brake setup for 18" wheels (Aerospace)?.The best upgrade would be the Radi-Cal from AP. Its way cheaper than the Brembo setup and from what i've seen on track these are equal to the $8000 Brembo's... (see full post)-
twistedneck replied to the thread Your Thoughts on my build..A properly tuned Quadrabog is music to my ears (bwooooooowaoaaaoaooooo) thats of course with flipped over air filter lid.. NOBODY loves a 305 powered 79 Chevy in the snow more than i do! but this Bronco.. (see full post)

That game is properly accomplished in a car equipped with a Quadrajet. TC? Never heard of her.

I could use some help from those who are experienced with differential work. I bought this car as a roller; one of the selling points was the T2R it came with. It was installed in the axle housing without a ring gear, I thought that was odd. I’m...
-
Installed without a pinion is not a good sign. I wouldn't use it. Chalk it up to experience and take the loss.

Looks like the bearing spun and mangled the unit. If you go to a real bearing shop, they may make something called a " ready sleeve" that can be pressed on the ruined surface, and a bearing can be used. You might also find a shop that can weld...

I'm sure we all have had our feats of insanity playing in the snow....I know I did......Once, back in the day in my 442, I was going thru the gears on a slightly inclined snow covered narrow one way street with cars parked on both sides.....one...

twistedneck replied to the thread Your Thoughts on my build..I can one up that.. sliding around in Michigan snow with TC off and the rear diff locked in my Bronco Wildtrac.. that was insane fun 70mph front rooster tails of snow. (see full post)

Wild Mustangs are a tough breed to tame....I'm glad you're getting yours dialed in....That black Golf must have been fun!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

twistedneck replied to the thread Your Thoughts on my build..I had a regular black golf and it handled extremely well i wanted the GTI but it was a little expensive.. then I got the Civic Si and that handling was off the charts, its what i wanted my Mustang to handle like and it finally does with the soft...

I agree with both of you and run Cortex 400 F and 200 rear with an 18 mm or no rear bar, Eibach adjustable 35 mm front bar. No aero.Oh, and the car I have the most nostalgia for was my old A1 Callaway GTI, loved that thing.
-
I have been tempted to try that out! Funny that you mentioned my first car! Loved that GTI

twistedneck replied to the thread Your Thoughts on my build..I agree and took it even further.. i got the best grip so far going down to 375 front and 150 rear springs! a little body roll doesn't hurt and you have plenty of suspension travel. look at the phoenix S197.. that thing rolls and pics of the...

Big fan of Cortex, but for me, had to go down to #500/#350 springs to get some more grip. without a big wing, then #300 for the rear would be better. Needed the softer rear for better corner exit, probably the best performance point of the S197.
