Cut and weld the axle ends for more camber. Griggs does it cause Racecar ;)

Haha, thought about some ideas to add some camber but I'm going more function>form. I didn't even intend for it to be so flushed out, when I first dropped it the car was sitting on the tires because the coilovers and extended track make it want to sit so low, I had to raise it waaaaaaaaay up to even get it there.

Needs more IRS


I've considered it, but problem is I think a SRA can be competitive for drifting if done right. Look at the guys running 2011+ Mustang's, couple of the fastest cars on the grid and they're SRA. Going to try an anti-squat or a torque-arm setup maybe and see how if works. If people are running away from me then I migiht consider IRS.... and more stances.

The SRA can work. Dave Nedelcu is making it work very well here locally in WA on his Fox with MM tq arm and panhard bar rear and all MM front. DOHC Novi 2k powered.

I never knew what he ran for suspension, but his car is QUICK so that makes me feel like I was thinking in the right direction for setup. Once it's all together this next year I'm probably going to start building a motor, and saving for panhard/torque arm setup or something for a pro am build maybe. I should be happy for now, I just want to have fun with it really

When are you going to be competing in FD?

Technically, possibly next year if I can get a motor together to do the 5/8th's bank because we're a Formula Drift Pro Am series. Got some things in the works so who knows, right now I'm just building it enough to have fun with it and maybe to see how far I can take it.

I'm so in love with this car because no one takes sliding these cars seriously.

Right? I've seen a good amount of new edge's and fox's built, but I don't think anyone's taken an SN to the level I'm going. I'm pretty stoked about it!

Shoot, around here all the Mustangs do one thing- drag race. So when I pulled up at the local drift scene one night, no one for a second thought I was going to be able to do anything and I remember two guys laughing and making fun of my car when I pulled up. But my car did just as well sliding around in that parking lot as half the 240's out there so I felt pretty good about it. I really want to build the 95 back up to do some more serious drifting but that's later on. I'm really interested to see how you like these LCAs. They seem like they'd be awesome once they're dialed in.

Haha, I got so much crap from people the first time I went out. There's a couple Mustang's here, the white fox that 410sn95 posted up there, buddy with the turbo new edge, another guy with an SN95, and a few others who show up occasionally. They're starting to get a bit of respect out here, but I can't wait to try them too. These are how they look on a fox, this is the guy who made them for me.

I posted a picture of his old setup before, and he was suuuuuper camber'd out and had some ackerman issues with it to the point where at full lock his trailing tire would literally just be dragging instead of steering, that's why I never asked him to make me a set. Then he redid them, and it's an insane amount better.

Yup, still planning on getting one from you. It's on my list, i'm getting everything I have currently in before making anymore purcahses at the moment haha.

Update, it's on the ground again, new sway bar links, and extended tie rods in. Time to start aligning it and figuring out what to cut out. Sorry fenders, time
to die.

Anyone know where to get a PAIR of 1.5in or 2 inch fender flares? Everywhere I've found is a full set :/
