IRS install THIS WEEK!
Hey all!
Its finally here! Due to working 3 jobs this summer, I unfortunately am unable to do the IRS swap but my buddy is doing the install at his shop nights so he doesnt have to charge me labor. As far as the IRS is concerned, its built to the hill(minus level 5 half shafts...which arent ever needed in my opinion)!!! The MM CO's are in the mail as we speak with MM Sport shocks and struts and 375lb front springs and 575lb springs!!! The IRS bushings have been upgraded with everything from the following website...
http://www.fulltiltboogieracing.com/irs.htm
Bruce, the owner of the company, makes some good **** and I have EVERYTHING on that website, including the racing rear bumpsteer kit and swaybar endlinks.
Also, I'm going to pick this beauty up next sunday. I bought a used FRPP FR500 IRS catback. Its the one with the x pipe after the mufflers and the dual mode mufflers. Picked it up for $350 and its barely used.
This isnt the one i'm buying, but these are the best pics I could find online of the catback.
Might buy some new tips because the tips on the catback are stock sized but I might just keep them that way as the ones on the car are already flowmaster 3" tips so no difference than what i already have really. Been hearing this catback is kinda quiet so i might buy another o/r x pipe or just do the longtubes awhile and get a shorty o/r x as well as a shorty catted x to run for emissions(thanks PA...) and sell the magnaflow catted x. Idk what I'm doing yet, but we shall see.
But its finally happening guys!!! I'm so pumped to get this thing in and be pretty much done as far as suspension is concerned, until I get the tubular K next summer. But pretty much done...NOW BRING ON THE POWAA!!!
Keep you guys updated as the week progresses next week
