If you're upgrading swarbars, the Cobra Valley ones are great because of the solid end links and adjustability.

Nice car but should have went with the blue with white stripes. More of an iconic color combination and better for resale if that ever happens.

The color combination "in my head" was blue with white stripes. That is the most common color combination, as I said I built this to appeal to me. Certainly not for resale, make it right for the next guy?
This is the car that inspired the look I am going for.
I went with this rim in this color/sheen

I think I am going to start slow and see what happens. If it turns out I go to a lot of track events I'll start looking into upgrading the suspension.

Why does it handle better with the rear sway bars disconnected? Auto cross needs quicker shorter turns and letting it roll helps it turn quicker?

Great look....and you'll appreciate not having to clean the black rims as much. I also
run the 18s in that width and its looks mean.

Will be a great build. Congrats!
I don't see any upgrade on the ball joints.....just switched mine to Cobra Valley joints from Randall and wow, what a great low cost upgrade...with new boots on and these joints, I can now handle the 550HP nicely from the Roush, and handling is a major improvement....I am sure you are aware of what the standard BJ are that come with the SPF....Highly recommend you switch them out

I melted the driver side vent hose on my Kirkham.
One day I look under the hood and I see a spiral skeleton.
The plastic melted toward the sprial and had about 1 ft of useless hose.
Never did smell anything. Maybe it happened during my infamous overheating/hose pop at a Shelby show.

Bill, Muck tends to "muck up" threads.
Rodneym burned through his venting hose. Morris has seen fires due to cheap hose and the shop that did my install strongly recommended it.
Anytime I see Internet BS, I'm chiming in.  |

Morris suggested the mans product catches fire and he defended his product.
Shame on him.

Did I miss something? You said Morris suggested specific products. I don't see any specific manufacturer recommendations in this thread. Maybe there was a PM between you two? But there's nothing in this thread.
Running circles? Not sure what you mean. I'm looking for clarity. |

Guy's
I believe we should rethink the situation, and let others who chose to do things their on way, figure out afterwards, how they could have stopped the issue before it ever became an issue.
Like I said before.....I can only walk the horse to water.........
Like many competitors over the years, I would show them everything I was doing......then beat them on the track, and drink a beer with them afterwards.

Do you have a source for the hose?

Rims and Tires
Got a photo of the rims and tires before they shipped.
I am not going with polished spinners for sure.
