Sorry I missed your question. The mounts were made by a member here named Todd Sickles? I think. I can't remember his screen name. I think he made run at one time but you might try this guy as I noticed they made some aluminum https://lateral-g.net/forums/show...0&postcount=26

Thanks Kevin,

Here is the current list with changes planned as I get to it.

Front: SPC Performance Upper and lower control arms, ATS (Speedtech) Spindles, Varishock coil overs, single adjustable with 650# springs
Sway bar is a stock OEM (i think 7/8" diameter)
Rear: Currie adjustable arms, with Bilstein shock and Speedway 5.5" 225# coil springs, no rear bar yet

Great taste in wheels :thumbsup:

Nice build!

Tom,Any update's.Scott.:thumbsup:

Hi Scott, No real big updates. I got the transmission back in after replacing the hydraulic TOB but only put about 100 miles. I also changed the tires to 200 tread. I went with 275/35/18 on front and 295/35/18 on the rear in a NT05 Nitto. I had nitto drag radials on the back before but wanted to have the required tires for autocross events. The LS3 is just stock but the NT05 seemed to not hook at all. I went for a drive Today and it fish tails a lot through third. Some of you guys with 550+ HP must really have to be careful because the rear wants to come around on my stocker.
Starting next week I plan to shim the motor mounts to make it higher for oil/tie rod problem. It has been cold (i know that sounds funny in Southern California) so I have not been in the garage much. I really want to get some things more tidy before the El Toro event but if not I will just roll out with my huge gaps and primer, no carpet, no anything :lol:

That's Great.:thumbsup:I really like this build.

If the rear end is wanting to "come around" -- you need to get back to an alignment shop and have 'em do a 4 wheel alignment. My guess is you're "out of square" just a bit on the rear end. I had that on the Nomad... and it was only about a 1/8" "out" but that caused it to push the rear off line. Once the guy squared it up -- she launches hard and straight as an arrow.

Lookin fwd to seein this at RTTC Tom! :thumbsup:

Greg, Thanks. I think you might have a good point. A while back I developed a rub on drivers side tire with my old tires. I scratched my head while wondering what happened. I thought the body had shifted but it was snug plus the car cage bars that tie into the frame so it can't go far anyway. After thinking and searching the forums I realized my upper adjustable rear control arms were not tight. I then dialed the rear end back to where I thought it should be and the rubbing was gone. I then changed the tires so it seems the rear very well could be off. I will add that to my list and thanks again as I would not have never thought about it:thumbsup:

Dave, I also look forward to going and seeing some of you guy's. I should make you all look good with my lack of driving skills :lol:

nice ride tom. is that primer finish? how long do those finishes usually last without the top coat? or is it finished in matte grey paint?

It is just primer (UPOL I think). It has been on over a year however the car only has about 900 miles on it so needless to say it has spent very little time in the sun.
It does not stain that bad like the primer they made years ago. I wash it with a little squirt of simple green to remove the grease:lol: . Some day I will get some color but it sure is nice not to worry about nice paint.

I had fun with the car last week at the Socal Challenge. I put about 20 hours the week prior just looking for loose bolts. I was looking for any issues etc and noticed the driver side coil over was blown out.
The threads ripped out of the lower body

I never felt there was any travel from day one. I have no idea how long it was like this as the car was always firm. I have SPC arms which have a built in drop which made the already short shock shorter. I used 650LB springs at the time. These Varishocks were going to be changed down the road as I already purchased Ridetech rear coil overs so this just moved the fronts up on the priority list. I called Ridetech in the middle of the week and they shipped me a set front single adjustables the same day via Fedex. I went with 700LB spring at their suggestion (225 rear). What was really nice is they have options that will extend the shock. I was not sure which one I needed so I bought both the standard height and the extended. I tried the standard first and needed to raise the car more.

Mike @ Ridetech advised that I would need to use a little heat from a torch and some wood to keep from crushing the shaft.

They use thread lock on these and for a while I was loosing this battle. I am sure it is easy with the fixture they use.

This picture shows my old and new (with standard height before I changed) coilover. The Ridetech shock is far superior in feel quality. The other brand looked and felt like junk imo. I am really please with the ride and performance.

Here is how the stance is currently. The Factory Five Cobra is my brother in laws

For the price I think these are some of the best shocks:thumbsup:

Not only did my ride improve but I picked 2-3 seconds at the Adams AMP track from last March. Shocks and tire pressure were the only things that I changed. I still don't have and id do any shock adjustments yet. This is the main reason I went with single adjustable as it will be a learning curve for me.

I am going over the car again getting ready for Return to the Coast event.

I was pleased when I compared my times with some of the others at the track and while I would run one lap good I would be drifting another. This is a pic I borrowed from TCI

Not my fastest lap:lol:
I made a call to Tobin @ KORE3 for some Hawk pads he suggested. I also felt I might be cooking the DOT 3 brake fluid so he suggested I move to DOT4.

Tobin is great to deal with and when I reach another level of driving I will be upgrading again with KORE3:thumbsup:

I put the pads on Today and drained the fluid. As always something simple as bleeding the brakes turns into a pain
http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8306/7...3c63c10a_b.jpg
So I changed out a bleeder and was using my pressure bleeder which works good with one person.............that is until the hose springs a leak at the front and you see brake fluid spraying while behind on your back under the rear:willy:

I called it a evening and will tackle it this weekend
