[QUOTE]Originally posted by 50 Deep: [QB] Finally got all the components installed and time for fluid to be put back in the system. New Griggs Racing rear diff cover, torque arm plate, and redline fluid are set. Decided to upgrade the transmission mount as well with a Stifflers piece. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/CsC9XxF/F217039-F-AE39-43-C6-AA0-A-BD42-A6475658.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/ZxPHt8j/0411-F96-E-082-C-4-A35-98-B4-60-E988-DA5-B51.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/mhGZ22k/3-A7-FAA7-F-4-A81-4-AC4-90-EC-D60-F593-C1508.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> The brake install ended up being a total pain the ass. The Baer components went on just fine, but the car fought me along the way. Both the front brake hard lines were adamant about staying with the OEM brake lines. Stripped both the front hard lines trying to get the off. Several days of trying to cut and flare my own lines were time wasted. Initially I talked myself out of buying new pre-bent front hard lines, and that was a mistake. Went ahead and spent the money for new ones and within 2 hours I was done. Highly recommend that for anyone who finds themselves in the same boat. Chose to use the 1” Baer remaster and keep the OEM booster. Installation was pretty straight forward but still used the MM adapters for the 3-2 port conversion. The maximum motorsports pieces aren’t designed for the Remaster so I still needed to custom bend some lines. I may end up doing some custom stainless-steel braided lines from the master cylinder in the future. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/XZtG4Vw/17858-A2-D-AD39-4-AA9-BF46-47-BB8025-B214.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> Got the car out to the alignment shop on its maiden voyage. In some ways I don’t miss the uneasy feeling of taking a Foxbody out on the street for the first time after working on it. However, the feeling of building something with your own hands is rewarding. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/Ss74CXw/7-E14169-E-5-D01-423-C-9525-0-B32178-CDAD5.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> I still have some brake bleeding and adjustments to make but here are some pictures of how it sits now. Really pleased with the Carters Customs LX Street front splitter and rear diffuser. Looking forward to the side splitters he is developing and should be out soon. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/gwXhGpY/AFD4-C7-F4-EFF6-4-D32-8881-A95-D255-E534-F.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/hDvm4SM/AF0-BA869-7-B37-4-A3-A-8-A71-0-A8-C3363-DD3-E.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/VLZwcf3/33-BBB225-DA77-4-EF9-B7-FF-5-B380187-A36-A.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/cJHqLTL/95-BFD0-B9-175-D-4-AF0-8894-E6-EFA0283501.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/51GJRRc/34509-FC2-9-BCE-44-EC-B641-8-C4-CB4174284.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/vV7z5Hk/2471-D133-EB76-4-DE5-B985-C01317-EB3486.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> <img src="https://i.ibb.co/bRTpCdH/8-A9-F1-BB1-8978-496-A-B984-80-C878251059.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> And of course, what is a hatchback Foxbody without the Steeda Aero spoiler…. <img src="https://i.ibb.co/Sdnyb20/078-F1276-B712-4-A04-92-C3-00-FF0-DAF66-A0.jpg" style="max-width: 640px" alt=" - " /> If you like the wheel/tire setup let me know. Now that I have accomplished the goal of building this all around 4-lug setup I am likely going to build a maximum fitment one. Good time to jump in on these if you want. More to come in the future. Forgive any pics oriented the wrong way. This free pic uploader is well…… free…. [/QB][/QUOTE]
