My 1993 touring.

 

Welcome to the forum!! That's a beautiful Montego Blue FD!! Do you know any of the car's history? How does it run and drive?

 

Welcome to forum

Thank you for the warm welcome, can't wait to meet everyone.

 

Clean MB, and welcome!

 

Lately people have been harping about 100% stocks cars. Screw that the truth is stock is slow, unreliable and boring. This car looks like it is track prepped as it is equipped with sparco seats, 4 point harness, roll cage, big brake kits, strong light wheels, R888's, lowered (if I had to guess coilovers), vented hood and what look like a shiny component in the front air dam.

So tell us more about this car...

 

Good eye

It's mainly a track toy and cars n coffee head turner with all the stock components in the attic. (interior, exterior stuff, no motor tho)

It was purchased with 81k on the stock cluster and has 3k on the cammed LS1 L33 mated with a built t56 on the stock diff.

I'll cover what you didn't
5 point driver 4 point passenger harness
coilovers are 510 fortune auto thread *****,
corner Balanced (virtually zero bump steer)
rear trailing links
nardi wheel
quick release hub
all exterior aero is bolted in properly
half flat bottom
nascar brake ducts
stop tech bbk biased for stock rear brakes
battery relocate behind passenger
sti shift ****
jdm **** all about

thanks for the kudos bro my friend jeremy built it and john reed tuned it

 

Nice! thank you for the additional info. I'm really digging how you are routing the air to cool the brakes. I wasn't expecting a V8 though, not hating just wasn't expecting it. And like I said a heck of a lot more interesting than a stock car. Congrats on your purchase, that is a very nice car.

 

Welcome, your car looks great. Hope to see you at local events, ACCO has an autocross planned for next weekend.

 

is that at hoodoo? I ski there in the winter snd don't remember the pavement being super nice, thoughts?

 

Yes, at Hoodoo. I've only been to their event at the Mt Bachelor parking lot so I can't say for sure. The youtube videos people posted made it seem OK, it looks like they use part of the entrance road as well as the main lot at Hoodoo. I'm planning to go if I can get a new helmet in time. They've hosted track days at ORP, I went to one of those and it's a lot more track time than an autocross.

 

my helmet is in california, i think they have loners? i call then on monday and try to find out otherwise i'm SOL.

 

Wonderful build. What's the story behind the long-spindle and sprung tie-rod ends ? Also, who did the rear LCA and link ?

Welcome!
