Well I drive it pretty hard, it does feel a bit more solid than it did, but it wasn't a night and day difference, I dunno.

Maybe all the noise the freakin' suspension makes threw me off.

i like to lift one rear corner of my car until the front tire on the same side comes off the floor, then open and close the doors like the car is standing flat on the ground :D

dont try this at home:


I can do that with mine...but it also has a cage ;)

I do plan on implementing your through-floor SFCs in the '80.  Hopefully I'll have time this summer/fall.  It's pre-Job 1 and has 4" more of wheel base....and you can tell.

Carpimp...just install one good set....

the 6point is in mine in that pic as well. the jack is actually under the foot plate of the main hoop, works great that way ;)

you will probly be a lil short on material for the 80(you were talkin about the 84 when i sold ya that tubing). i would cheat the front a bit on each side to make up for that 4"
it will still be plenty of SFC :evilgrin:

Yep. It is not a particularly fun job. Especially when you keep running out of welding wire as I did.

I don't think it will help the handling of your house very much just to do one side. Maybe box the house.



Forgive me. I couldn't help myself.

Got my UPR sub frame connectors for $45 and got them installed "welded in" for $50 not bad for under 100 bucks. One of the best mods by far you can do for these cars.

Didn't you answer that yourself 2 posts before you asked the question?
