Falcon
 

Craig great work as always
I finally bought a Mig and hoping
I can maybe do somethings close
to what you are fabbing.. in the past
I have just bolted everything.. trying
to get past that

Bob

are you still using the canister mounted to the PS pump? or have you gone to a remote canister?

I am using the integrated reservoir with my KRC pump but I added a vent tube that is tied into my catch can to avoid over pressurizing the system. I have an older Borgesen box and pushed the lower seal out of it after several back to back autox runs. After replacing the seal I decided to add a vent. I still had some issues wth heat at Good Guys and while parallel parking so the cooler went in.

Issues as the pump not turning the wheels at low speed? Or overheating? Have you tried any different pump valves? I went up one size in mine to increase flow at low rpn. It helped with parking / tight turns like laguna 7/8.

The steering would start to feel notchy. I have not tried the different flow restrictors. I don't want any additional assist, if anything a less would be better. I have thought about getting another Isuzu Rodeo box (the one Borgesen used) and build a stiffer torsion bar for the spool valve and then swap out the internals with my box.

I also got a couple of the GM "J-car" (Barretta) CTO racks that I looked into using but have put on the back burner. At this point I just want to keep the Falcon running and reliable so I can work on my driving while I design the chassis for the Model A.

Well folks. I did it. Won the Spirit of the Event award at this weekends Optima Street Car event and will be heading to SEMA and the Ultimate Street Car Invitational this year. I am very excited and get to check off a bucket list item.

Best photo on the entire internet right now Craig!

That is just pure awesome!

Major kudos on that accomplishment!!!

Good for you, Craig! By the way, you're too damned young to have a "bucket list." That's Greg's department . . .

You really have done a nice job of keeping your Falcon "street," as opposed to the four-wheeled motorcycle mine keeps getting closer to. Congrats on the invite!

Congrats!
