What Dave said. We have run both R-4s and Carbotechs in the back. Never had the issue with the Carbotech's swelling in the rear, and they used to give us a much more pronounced bite, but I think...

Ed, you have pms turned off so I couldn't send you one, but I can send the block UPS, and they quoted me $10 which seems high. Probably get to you on Wed.. USPS would most likely still be there by...
We have em. We just have to tap our caliper bodies to attach it.
Blind luck really. My brother was stripping our parts car which is parked where I work, and literally was taking the rear wheels off when you posted. We have other rear brake backplates buried...
If you do still need it I have it sitting on my dining room table.
We have one down here (fla). Lemme see if I can put my hands on one quickly this pm. Check back tonight or tomorrow am for confirmation.
Not a Mustang guy, but I will be at the same school, so I will look you up. Good luck!!
That's the AMC Spirit in ITA, but it's actually a 4.2L Six. The 3.8L Chebby/Buick 6 from the Monza/Skyhawk is the closest 6 in displacement in IT. It's interesting to see some of the other cars...
Congrats on what sounds like a fun and successful weekend!
That looks great Tristan!
Ron,
We appreciate you putting this together. After running the Porterfields I'm looking forward to trying the Carbotechs. If you ever make it back down this way to run at Daytona again, or at...
When we re-did our shell I was suprised how much just the hard fuel lines weighed. It was a couple of lbs. Ron's list has some great suggestions (a few I'd never heard), and Paul is right about...
Anyone have a clue how much it would cost to have warn out drums re-lined?
"My drum backing plates are vented and there was evidence of a rear ducting system being attached to the rear control arms at one time. One of the previous owners of my car ran it in enduros on the...
Cool guys. Looking good!
Will the struts you have fit anything but a 260 strut tube? I can't remember if they all use the same cartridges.
Ron, we probably have 240 strut tubes, but don't have 260z units. I wouldn't be able to check until probably Tuesday evening. Let me know if you want me to check, and I'll go through the warehouses.
You should be right around min weight if that's 1.5" tubing in the cage. We are a bit over 240 min, but Tim and I could both stand to lose a few pounds, plus we are real heavy on wheels/tires. We...
Most of the english su guys I've talked to actually prefer the HIF carbs. They feel they can make a bit more power with them. They are just not as well understood. As to why more people are...
Ohhh crap!!! This is giving me nasty flashbacks to our rebuild from this past summer! I just did get the scent of metal grindings and argon out of my system. That's looking good Jeff, and...
Yes Ron and thank you. Sounds like the Porterfields aren't any worse than the carbotechs as far as durability. And we haven't got our ducting to the brakes in yet. We definitely want two sets if...
Ron, How many races have you gotten out of a set of the carbotechs? Like Tim said we have had Porterfields, and were real happy with the performance, but I'm not confident we got great life out of...
Great attitude! My brother and I are in the same boat, doing this as affordably as possible. Whether we ever run towards the front or not, though, NOTHING is as enjoyable as a weekend at the...
Ron, I did stumble across this price on an LSD unit, but I'm not sure whether it will be correct for your ring gear diameter.

Just an FYI. On the truck diffs, if you get it from a salvage yards you'll want to get the front diff from a 4x4. The rears are solid axle. Depending on the year/model of the truck the r-180's are...
