The quality of your work never ceases to impress.

Reading your build thread is a roller coaster.

Thank you for the kind words. There is more to come when I have time off from work.

This car really should’ve came with a lifetime prescription of Valium.

How much does the longer arm lengthen the shift (not sure of the correct term here, but how far you have to move from gear to gear)?

Still haven’t driven it with the A47 arm but it isn’t that bad. Since it’s the same base, I theoretically could grab the shifter close to the base and the shifts would be the same as before.

I’ve decided to collect parts to build a SLA setup.
Is this gonna be a piece meal set up or are you going with something like the griggs set up. Been contemplating doing this for a couple of years now.

Piece meal.. Griggs spindle adapter, SPC Performance UCAs, Penske struts, Eibach springs. Plan to use the OE spindles.

I’m going move toward reinstalling ABS at the same time but utilizing the 07-09 GT500 ABS pump.

Was under the impression the newer pumps were vin specific.

Very interested in watching this go together

Made the time after work today to finally replace the high pressure hose for my power steering.

As you can see, the previous line was about 12 miles too long. The ID was smaller, as well.

The fittings are a much gentler radius 90° to promote smoother flow. The route taken also promotes smoother flow.

I’ll say the steering feels much lighter and it was easier to back out of the carport. Before, you couldn’t move the steering wheel without revving and the pump would scream at you. Went to a local traffic circle for some simultaneous turning & braking and it has improved. The steering wasn’t as “choppy” when on the brakes. Initially, it was great but after putting a dozen miles on it whatever air was trapped inside inevitability congregated.

I am hopeful and will report back.

shit they give their own zip codes to some of the pot holes around here right before they fill them with gravel/tar, call the job done and move on.

Really should’ve been working on this on my off days this week but I have been sorting my badly neglected work shop.

This is still a nightmare.
