These are AWESOME tires… I have a set on my ESM wheels, and this weekend I'm picking up a set to put on my EAP SVT wheels next. They're fantastic in the wet and in the dry, you won't find a better set for the money! Don't skimp out on tires when it comes to a drivers/handling car.
Snagged a full year 2000 rear subframe rust free for $70 off craigslist! Score! Tore it down, cleaned her up and will be building it up as a proper rear end for my SVTF which originally cane from Illinois which means it's current rear end is rusted... Even worse than my last focus which spent 12 years in alaska. I'll call this project cure cancer.
this hardware looks impeccable!!! And to think i already bought a full set from ford thinking i was gonna be breaking every single bolt tearing my current one out of my car... Those all cost more than this subframe. And finally cleaning up the core peices i'll be using.
I know, i dont intend to track this anytime soon as i have lots of building to go into it. I plan on just getting reinforcements welded in before any serious driving. Also why i went with a 24mm rear instead of eibachs 25mm current status.
Well its been sitting for two years so It needs a lot of new parts to make it road worthy again.
In the past two days: Timing belt, pulleys and tensioner, plugs (denso special order) and wires, valve cover gasket, cv axles, all new rotors and pads, new rear calipers, radiator flush, oil change, transmission fluid change, new hood and fenders, prepping front bumper for a coat of paint.
Replaced the upper radiator hose, the serpentine belt, belt tensioner, both O2 sensors, new shift nob, and a little DIY fab work to fix the front upper grill that broke when my belt tensioner disintegrated and took the serpentine with it!
Next in line, lower radiator hose, new headlights, and TB!!!! TOMS TUNE is the end game
Bled clutch, way better. Should have done this when I first got it. Adjusted shifter cable, also should have done it.
A clutch system with air in it sucks when your car makes as much torque as an overpriced Ninja blender. Much easier to modulate.
