Bought mm adjustable lower control arms (still need to raise it up a bit), H&R super sport springs (front and rear), strange adjustable shocks and struts, mm front sway bar, mm caster camber plates, new bushings and ball joints for front control arms, cobra R hood, and a new shifter. Also put a crank case evac in, will switch to black hose later, but had a bunch of blue lying around so I put it to use. have some new trick flow valve covers, and loooking at a reicherd racing box upper so i dont have to pull the upper to get the valve covers off in the future.

when i get all the kinks out of it, still need new tires, these ones are starting to get a little hard. want to get the box upper, need to double check the lash after a few miles make sure i dont throw any more keepers. Hood is being gay and not wanting to line up. Need to make sure the oil blowing out of the main seal is fixed with this evac kit. Its getting very close.

I have not dynoed it yet. Might try to get it tuned if and dynoed at AED soon, they are very close, it has a rich tune on it now, the box intake should give it a little more air.

There is one car where a spoiler is more unacceptable than any car produced in the history of the automobile industry.
-> 79-93 Fox Coupe
The Model-T is a distant 2nd...

Just a puke tank, looking into vaccumm pumps, running out of room it in the engine compartment. An evac kit let's the crankcase pressure vent as to not blow oil out of the valve covers and main seal

vacuum pumps are not really neccesary on an fi car. you want some blow by (bigger ring gaps) a vaccuum pump creates better ring seal while evacs crank case its just kinda a negative. you just want a catch can with a breather then it wont be puking oil out of the breathers all on the valve covers and headers

i got a small jegs one, pictured in there. IT was like 75 dont need to buy the mounts that are 30 extra as it comes with a mounting system. I had all the pushlock fittings and hose. i still have more fittings if you would like a deal on some. I jb welded the fittings to the valve cover till i can get my TFS over to my girls dads house to tig the fittings in.
