Thanks for the excellent write up John. I appreciate your efforts and responses. I wish I had done some of the simple things you did to your subframe before I welded my connectors into the car. I believe there are a lot of little things that can be done to these cars to really make them better street cars without going to a full race cage.
Bob, more precise a good way to put it. I agree with that assessment. I feel like the car actually turns immediately when I turn the wheel. That I did notice before I did the suspension on the car. Also, if you look in pictures three and four you can see the UCA braces. Look at picture four especially. Look at the Gen II sticker on the UCA, right to the left is a turn buckle. That's the UCA support that run forward to the frame.
Joe, I'm not following. Are you referring to the additional supports? If so, then eventually, yes. My body needs attending to. It's in very good condition for the year considering just how bad these cars can get easily. However, I still have plenty to do. I have to find a balance between enjoying the car and working on it. Right now, I'm trying to tip the scales more to enjoying the car. That means I'll do the body work some day but not any time soon. Eventually, I'll also do a transmission brace that goes through the body like my subframe connectors do. That's how DSE does it and I think it creates a good look even if mainly hidden.
Good luck, Doug.
