I have a really nice exhaust. The guy who built it made it snug up to the body really well. In the middle is the lowest part. I can drive over speed bumps with a full tank of gas, my tools and someone with me and it dosent se. My tires are shorter too (225/50/16---245/45/16) so its lower then it looks.


I tucked my exhaust up as far as I could, but I can't go too far or else the driveshaft hits the Y-pipe.

Actually, I have more problems with the front fascia or the tailpipes dragging than anything else.

I run a single 3 inch exhaust from passinger side turbo crossed over to the drivers side. Its a dump at the moment because i need a custom built tailpipe. If i routed the ebrake cable i could get rid of the lower hump in the middle.

I stay away from stuff i can s on. Owned enough lowrider trucks to have it be second nature. I have parked and walked up driveways many many times. Im wanting to maybe do air bags just for it to look cool parked and have mobilty everywhere else.

VERY nice work on the '83. I love it already.
I'm also on The Corral and TCCoA.
I'm in the process of upgrading to the big VAM, computer (8UA), 35 lb. injectors, etc.
Did you have any trouble installing the ACT sensor? Did you get the later manifold, or did you find another way to install it?


I skipped the ACT sensor. Kinda lazy consider i weld alum all day. Its only 2 degree's of timing either way. Also doing the LA3 was the best thing i ever did. My car ran soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo much better afterwards. All the misfiring and wandering idle went away. Very happy with the mod. I HATE wiring and it took me a hour to install. That was being SUPER careful.

If you have ever been to vancouver island i bet you have. In that pic my car completed a 1000 mile camping road trip. With 2 ppl and camping gear, tools and food. Ran like a top in 95 degree weather in stop and go traffic. I never have been more proud of my turboford. Normally it breaks down if i even look at it sideways. lol
