According to the 2008 rules, 15.11 states: 15.11 OUT-OF-PRODUCTION CARS Where a car is out of production and the manufacturer is either out of business, stocks...
Probably the best way to solve this is to gateher all the information you can and send it to SCCA and let them make a determination and get it in writing....
Hi guys, I've been driving my '72 Mustang around after doing suspension and trans, wheels/tires, etc to it, and having a problem with front end grip. I've...
Steve-o, You have staggered tire widths on a nose heavy car. Even the m3 pushes with that setup, and it's not nose heavy. Fast m3 drivers usually run...
What class are you trying to be eligible for, stock? If so, there's no updating or backdating, so I think you're out of luck. H's & K's, Rick Ruth ... out of ...
Rick, Section 15, so SP. I didn't really know that from the section number though, I only knew becuase he asked elsewhere in a thread called ESP Fox. :) :) ...
... Yeah, I can't believe I forgot that. ESP. My bad. My question isn't so much about the actual modification as it is the documentation process. Ford is VERY...
Yeah, I know, I know . . . . The diff sizes are mostly for looks and fun, keeping that "muscle car" look. The car is most certainly a street car, I just tend...
In an addition I remembered that the camber is set at -0.3 or close to that, not too aggressive. I would guess that something like -0.5 --> -1.0 would be...
On Fri, Apr 4, 2008 at 4:04 PM, johnysbillards ... The truth is, modern radial tires aren't all that sensitive to camber. I'd throw as much camber as I could...
Yeah, steve-o. Camber it up! Unless you can do tall spindles or the "shelby mod", which I would love, because I like fixes like that. don't know if it...
Did you happen to do anything to "tighten" or otherwise improve the limited slip? Did you do anything that might cause front suspension binding? Maybe the Poly...
From what I saw you can't actually do the "shelby mod" easily. I wanted to though. On the earlier mustangs it's a bolt-in mod. On the 71-73 at least you have...
johnny, in your original description, you said that the car is "sliding" instead of "pushing" like your '86. from that, i surmise that your issue is not that...
Aaah, the old sleeves-too-short-in-the-poly-bushings spectre that was terrorizing us back in the last century! The memories. His name is steve, btw. I get...
Thanks a lot Teddy! #3 as you said, and I agree, can be eliminated. I bought a T2 for my '86, which I could not buy for the '72 because it has a 9" rear with...
yeah, realized that from his reply. i got the "johnny" from his username. i remember having to make a bunch of new sleeves for my car. later on, i helped...
I run -1.5 on the street in my 86 Mustang and the factory tire wear problems went away in addition to keeping more negative camber through the turns. I had...
... Ralph Nader strikes again! That big front bar REDUCES front grip. The stiffer the suspension is at one end, the less grip it has. Manufacturers*, in their...
Hi Robert, I've found that loosening up the front sway bar also helps. This still gives the sway bar the ability to do its job (past a certain point rather...

On Wed, Apr 9, 2008 at 9:45 AM, George Kokolakis ... Yep -- it's a common adjustment that I've used on occasion, but at least in my experiance, it just delays...
Yes Robert you're correct, but the problem can be remedied by being smooth, hopefully, very smooth. I should have added that to the comment. I've seen many...

I use a bodacious front sway bar with 800 lb springs on the A/Sedan car and Griggs arm on the rear. Stiff end will resist changes in directions. I've found I...
I love you guys, you're awesome! What can I say. The experience and knowledge and information sharing!!! that goes on in this group is fantastic. The way...
Hi David, It's not like my car is setup like yours but it's similar in some ways. I have 800lb front springs with Koni double adjustables all around, plus an ...

Hey Steve, Good Luck with playing with the suspension. That's half the fun. Screw up and you'll be doing doughnuts or sliding off into the weeds. Recovering ...

Anyone have an idea of how to attach brake cooling ductowork to a Fox GT bumper cover without foglights? I need a way to hook them up to the front and I have...
I use the galvanized steel ducts. They look cheap, but they work well. Rivets or even tape will hold them in, because if you're remove only enough of the...
