here is 3 inches drop but engine is not there, once engine is in, it will drop more.

but rear is not done. will get it done next week.



Before, you are seeing floor jacdk but that is not lifting car in the air.



After

You'll come down some Leo. You've seen mine, and it's sitting low on the FRPP springs. I'm 2.75" lower in the front when I compare it to my Mother in Law's stock 05.

not a lot though, wheel arch is way larger than stock fender, it is way different.

there is 1 problem with toe out.

possible cause is..
1. camber plate on coilovers, setting is wrong.
2. too much negative camber setting on lower control arm.

guys, which trans fluid do you recommend?

i am looking at.
1. Royal Purple SYNCHROMAX
2. Amsoil Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid 5W-30 (MTF)

I put the rp in my old mtx it was good stuff .

i went from rp to amsoil. it made shifting in cold weather is so much smoother

i always had cold weather shifting problem with my old atf fluid ford originally put in.

which amsoil though? this one? Amsoil Manual Synchromesh Transmission Fluid 5W-30 (MTF)

no i'm running amsoil synthetic 75w-90 gear oil

got engine.
not the best one but ok.

serpentine tensioner pulley is bent.
rusted pulleys.


broken intake manifold


different style of tb. and tb sensor.




massive rust


i need to sand old paint and repaint using blue or something.

As long as it works your going to clean it up anyway


I'm sure i'm not the first to say this, I think your neighbors think your nuts....as they see you roll your engine on engine stand down the hallway to your appartment

i made sure to cover it up and nobody has seen me. lol
at least i m not putting this in bathtub, i m good.

having fun with engine.

i am thinking to paint like this..



but this also looks good


and this

where in the world do you get those coolant overflow tanks??? I hate the look of the stock ones

I like the last one blue cover, blue charge tubing. Reason I don't like white is it will get a little too dirty I think, the blue looks nice as long as it is a deep blue like in the photo.

Personally if it were me, I would rather a polished escort valve cover) and then black charge tubing and black hoses.

I second the escort valve cover! haha and also second that white will get dirty quick unless you maintain it constantly. I personally like the white valve with the blue charge tube. The white makes the valve cover stand out more.

love the white but that will be a bitch to keep clean.

i bought it at least 7 years ago. if you can find one, expect to pay lots $$$. wasn't cheap.

i might go with white one.

too late to colour change spark plug wires and coolant hoses.
i already bought them.

does anybody know where i can get powdercoated?

i also need to look for escort valve cover..i saw the white one on ebay but not cheap.

Hope you didn't overpay for that engine!

Can't wait to see it painted. I'd go all blue but that's just me.

I'd heard that the Ford tranny fluid was best too... can't say for sure though I've got 163k on my tranny and in ice cold weather it spits out gears.
