WTB 83-88 tbird/cougar CHEAP Reply #16 – December 08, 2009, 02:45:31 AM Quote from: thundr306;301571Well it has 315's on the rear, 275's up front, full tubular front, coilovers, an 8pt rollbar and through the floor subframes. I'm not into autocrossing, so I'm not sure what you would need.actually, coilovers and the tubular front end will most likely be done, and thru floor subframes are illegal in the class I'm building for:mad: My plan is to do cobra IRS and some good struts with coilovers slammed as far as I can and at least 315's at all 4 corners. Also will be lightened as much as the class allows and will be 2.3T powered possibly with compound turbos.(HX35 lags too bad even with twin scroll manifold.) But heres what Im doing with nothing more that bilstien struts and slightly bigger front sway, removed rear sway, poly bushings, 275/40/17 spoogeho V710's, and 350whp/395wtq. Drivers front tire is about 2" off the ground. And one Bhazard in the pass seat!! Quote Selected

Would be nice seeing it still end up dodging cones! Quote Selected
WTB 83-88 tbird/cougar CHEAP Reply #19 – December 10, 2009, 06:48:25 PM I guess this can be locked up now. Picked up fairly clean shell in warren michigan today for $200. Definately needs a fair share of reassembly though. Quote Selected

WTB 83-88 tbird/cougar CHEAP Reply #23 – December 10, 2009, 11:38:44 PM yeah. Its got enough weight that it will actually MOVE in the snow. Last winter, I had my bird in the driveway probably at the top of 3rd gear and it was moving all of 1ft/sec at most. Really hard to get it on a drive on lift like that. Quote Selected
