After 4 months off the road, the car is finally back in my hands

Let me first thank Pete (Bass Junky) for spotting the colour because if I don't, he WILL :P. The colour is off the Australian delivered '97 Ford Mustang, and just my luck it happened to be a 3 layer pearl (read; expensive bloody paint). I am VERY happy with the repair, colour, mods, and cost. Still have a couple of small touches to complete but nothing serious.

The car will once again make appearances at most SAU events

Note: The last pic was how the car looked b4 the respray. This photo was taken mid summer on a very sunny day (hence why the silver coloured rims look white). The new pics were taken last weekend on a very overcast winters day :P. You could see, in the 6th photo, the differance between the original colour and the new colour.

      AC Compressor

      You don't need an AC mechanic to fit it. You do need one to vac the system down and fill it. That's how you get refrigerant.

      Anti Squat Kit

      By GTSBoy · Posted

      Well, it's actually probably worse than you think. I think you have to (minimally) install GKTech's spherical bush replacements to the lower arm's inner ends, because you absolutely cannot subject the original (or poly) bushes to that much misalignment. The better option being to replace the whole lower arm with GKTech's unit. This brings sphericals to the lower inners either way you do it. And are you aware that the kit is weld in and you have to take the subframe out of the car to get it fitted? It's a fair bit of work. These issues both drive my ongoing dithering about doing this to my car, for the last couple of years.

      AC Compressor

      By kevboost7 · Posted

      The website said you need a AC technican to swap it in. Is that true? How did you fill the refridgerant? Was it easy to install?  If i just got the bracket and the new smaller AC compressor, would the other components be compatible with R134?

      Anti Squat Kit

      By ianp · Posted

      Hi All Finally getting back to work on the R32 this weekend and had a quick question about the GKTech anti squat kit (https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=39&_fid=eb6b5077e&_ss=c) So, this straightens out the rear LCA and increases the roll centre by 20MM which is great BUT I also have MFR roll centre adjusters (https://www.rhdjapan.com/moonface-super-lap-rc-joint-roll-center-adjuster-bnr32-ps13-rps13.html) which gives a +15MM lift. My question is whether they can/should be used together or if its going to massively effect the geometry? In my mind, I can't see that they work together but was hoping for some feedback on someone who has done this before deciding which to use or if both?   Thanks

      Rb25 into r31/wont idle

      By TurboTapin · Posted

      Agreed. Thing has to be running absolutely pig rich as well. I would worry a lot less about your idle and start going through all your electrical before the car burns down.
