Step 1:

Dealership "Service Manual" just arrived.
got it off ebay for $80 shipped.

This is what you wish your Chilton/Haynes manual was like
600+ pages off detailed instructions and exploded views on service, repair and removal

Imagine if your Chiltons book was the size and weight of a phone book

This thing is LITERALLY the size and weight of a large phone book.


Got it from this guy. Arrived 2 days after I ended the auction.
It's used but in good condition. Worth its weight in gold

Service Manual covers everything from 4 cyl to Cobra rear disk brakes
with awesome exploded views

The Brown Truck just dropped off my SN95 spindles too.
Rotors look good, should just need to throw new set of pads on and be good to go
$300 shipped off ebay for everything

I like the Saleen kit, It's very subtle.
Not going to put that dumb wing on there on though
