What did you do with your Thunderbird Today?

Thats the front piece for the subframe connectors.
Did racecougar make those?

Got around to replacing the front UCAs (again). The last set, Mevotech Supreme, lasted 15 months or 15,000 miles. Guess I can't recommend that brand...

Negative. @jco1385 helped source these for me like I said. Someone on SCCOA was selling them and I don't have a SCCOA account.

Way cheaper than what they go for on SCP's website, that's for sure

I have those subframe connectors, it definitely stopped the creaking and cracking noises I would get cruising around.

I still have one of the last sets jl made; still in the box, and lazarus has most of a set on it. Very stiff.

it wasn't today, more like last week, but in the big picture its a huge step forward. I haven't done anything with my car in almost 10 years. but I bought another set of pedals for my stick swap.

Mine sat for 14 years before I touched it and it's taken nearly 6 years to get it back to road worthy. Be patient and get as much purchased and ready to go before you jump in. That way there are less monetary surprises

oh this has been an on going project for probably 15 years now. I honestly don't remember the last time it ran and drove. I've got a lot of pieces here just need to put the time into it. but I've contemplated changing a few things but will see.

Looking at the SCP site to compare, which set of subframe connectors are those?

 

[jco1385]

Not today, but about a week ago and finally opened them today.

Kudos to @jco1385 for helping me source them from SCCOA because I don't have an account over there.

It's this set:

Front Subframe Suspension Support Brace - Awesome & EASY to install!

<p>The Heavy Duty Front Suspension Support Brace is designed to substantially increase the support of the front suspension pick-up points for alignment accuracy and consistency. The FSSB also stabilizes the front suspension while significantly improving the handling and feel of the car.</p>

More refining of my new Power Acoustik’s start screen and background, for the start screen I darkened it a bit and added generic display text, and for the background I also darkened it and made the text green like it’s illuminated so it doesn’t quite blend in so much with the white menu texts. I really need to get the car in daylight to see how it looks but I like it, best of both worlds!



For anyone with thisheadunit who likes this, here, I did the homework for you

I think it's very cool as a start screen. As background, I find it super busy though.

Btw, this is my phone background. Surprise.

I agree which was why I wanted to change the image text from white to green, the camera oversaturates it but its less busy to the naked eye. Besides, I'll mostly be using it in carplay mode with the default background(which annoyingly doesn't seem to be changable from the defaults)
