Anyone need underside shots??

Yes, if you have SFCs on, I'd like to see how they clear everything. And I'd like to see what an unmangled intercooler scoop looks like tucked up nice and tight.
 
Pics to me are like candy to a 5 year old........anything will do:bye1:

The downpipe connection would be cool
Some pics of the torque arm and its mounts too please

Any others that you may want to post too
 
I took a bunch of pics when I first bought the car and had it in the air for the first time and inspected. Not bad for a car with 30K on it and 5 owners :D :D Just poke around here...

Hey Jim do you mind if I lift a couple of those pictures to show a SFC vendor why I don't think theirs will work?
 
Not at all! That's why I took them to share with you boys! I wanted to take more in detail pics. I'll have a new Canon 11 mega pixel camera by the time it's due for inspection in the spring so I'll take plenty more!

EDIT: Sorry looks like you needed your order placed by Friday to get the deal.

I was wanting to use these alston racing ones, http://www.top-downsolutions.com/product_info.php?cPath=24&products_id=90 only because I've used them on my 92 covertible and they fit well and are extremley well built. But they fit on the tails of the front subs and I think the tranny mount on the TTAs won't allow for that.

So I'm open to any suggestions, but only of ones known to fit TTA's. The Kenny Brown ones don't look to be available anymore. I saw some somewhere that are outside the SF's, kinda looked like they tucked up tight to the rocker panel and cantalevered to the tails of the sub frames.
 
When I lived in IL I used to see the guys from Alston at the swap meets all the time. After talking with them several times I decided to bring my TTA to them for SFC. As they got a closer look at the car, they said the SFC wouldn't fit without modifying the trans cross member. I was a little disappointed as they had told me they could modify the connectors around the car, not the other way around. So I ended up with South Side Machine connectors that I ordered from Summit. Fit was a little tight on the right side but all that was needed was to make things work was to use a different mounting hole on the hanger just after the cat. HTH. :cheers:

The subframe connectors I have is about 8 pieces...It is not just a two piece deal.

I'll upload the pics later tonight.
 
Well I'll get the picture for you guys tomorrow. Ran out of time and dirty hands.

Rear diff fluid and gasket, switch over the tires, full lube, oil and filter change, tranny service, and just a normal checkup. The car has 16 passes on it so it was due for some TLC. Everything checked out normal.

And I am replacing the oil feed line...or trying to atleast
 
Nice........:headbang:

I had visions of a two post when I built my house. Had told the builder I wanted 9' doors and 12' roof before I went back to work for 2 months. Came back and had 7' doors and 8.5' roof:mad2: and it was too late to get anything changed as the second story was allready framed and sheeted.
 
Our door is normal but the garage is 20 feet tall. You can elevate a Yukon or the like, to the point a 7 foot tall guy could run underneath it. Works out good. The TTA sits so low you have to jack up the car to get the swing outs under it haha. This car is a PITA all the way around!
 
So is the factory DP a clamp up front and a 4bolt flange like that too?
Whos dump pipe is that? Still available?


I really got to get mine up and get a good look at everything. These will help thou.
