What's going on Matt?!
Joe
I got my supercharger on (sorry no pics yet) and I noticed the alternator sits higher than it did, Sooo. My Kenny Brown STB doesn’t fit now, it might be going up for sale which is unfortunate, cause now I have some unsightly holes on my shock towers to fill.![]()
It really is a bummer!I’ll add that to my rolodex on why I don’t care for STBs lol
Seriously though, bummer! I hate when I have to reverse course on a mod to use another mod… actually I’m literally ankle deep in it right but it’s much less impressive![]()
Sounds like a dream! I never really looked too far into the cars history but I would assume yeah some up north time, couple of rusty spots, but I do know that it sat for awhile up in west palm beach before I got it, maybe it was close to the water.@SC_Shi Guess yours spent some time up North too. If I ever find a nice Florida only MN12 for sale close by I will be buying it.
My Firebird has 150,000 miles on it, but it always been in Florida. It doesn't have a spot of rust on it anywhere, thing still looks brand new underneath. Even when I took the factory exhaust off everything just unbolted without any trouble![]()

That is true to a point, especially for cars that have spent time near the beach. I do think it is somewhat exaggerated though.
Like @SC_Shi said areas like West Palm Beach may be a prone to rusting.
My cousins Jeep from Tampa had rust, but he actually bombed around on the beach with it, and got the thing stuck in sand lol..
Used Florida cars mostly have a bad rap for other reasons though. Title issues and flood damage.
Not the most glamorous project
That's how I felt when I removed that horrible, shoddily installed remote start system. My car lost a few pounds from removing all those wires!
Tidying things up is always nice.
Fun fact about the Antiblockiersystem: when I was looking for Thunderbirds, ABS was a must-have feature for me, to be comfortable daily driving an older car. Texted the seller; he said sure, it has ABS. I got there only to find out it didn't. But I liked the car otherwise.
Now I'm grateful for the simplicity (less stuff to break), but in anything other than dry conditions, I drive particularly carefully.
...oh, and what's the color of your coolant?
That engine bay is TOO CLEAN!!!! Very nice job at keeping it clean XR7.I have $2600 worth of speed parts ready to install, but what am I doing? Rewiring again lol

Shedding weight!
The job looks good to me!
I removed my abs unit aswell, just going to run the crown Vic master to a wilwood adjustable proportioning valve and see how that works.All back together. Not the most glamorous project but it’s tidied up nicely. Next task is to remove the ABS HCU and swap out the brake lines.
