RocketCouch User Poobah Registered: 10/09/00 Posts: 9455 Loc: So Cal	Been a long time coming but Friday I finally took posession of ADTR's new shop car Casper. It's a 2004 CVPI formally from Ventura County. Only 100k miles and got a fresh repaint including the rear fascia and grille. Definitely needs some work but overall in good running condition. Starting this week we're taking some measurements for intercoolers, tinting the windows, getting rid of some of the overspray and starting to order some more parts!

Car-razy! What's the plans? _________________________ 04 Crown Victoria LX Sport 95 AM General Hummer

RocketCouch User Poobah Registered: 10/09/00 Posts: 9455 Loc: So Cal	So far I've done little things to the car. I got the windows tinted all the way around, installed a new headunit (as the car came with nothing) installed 22FM plugs and installed the Heinous control arms (which are SUPER badass!) I'll be writing a how to article for install shortly! Tinted: HEINOUS BEFORE: HEINOUS AFTER: Also some new pics after testing the arms out on Mulholland Just got done porting a plenum and have an Aviator TB waiting to go on... Probably do that next week.

Roscoe Member Registered: 01/17/04 Posts: 328 Loc: North Florida	Hi Chris, I won't receive my control arms until Monday, but from what I've read I won't be disappointed. However, I have installed one of your ported plenums and a BBK 70mm TB. That is on bad ass combination. The only thing that gave me a comparable seat of the pants feel was when I installed better gears. Went from 2:73 to 3:27 and got a Reinhart tune at the same time. (Yeah, I know, I should have gone for the 3:73s...20/20 hind sight is great). UD pulley are next in a few weeks. Thanks for all your support of our little community here. _________________________ '99 GM LS, Steeda underdrives, ADTR ported plenum, BBK 70mm TB, JLT CAI w/80mm Maf, '04 ziptube, dual exhaust, Reinhart tune, 3:27 w/limited slip diff., Heinous rear control arms, Hawk HPS Brakes, Command Automotive Cryogenic rotors, Addco f/r sway bars, KYB Gas-A-Just shocks.

Super_Buffalo Climber Registered: 03/04/10 Posts: 687 Loc: Southbridge, MA	They keep the rear axle centered under the car, they control torque twist, and they help the rear axle move in-line with the driveshaft (cutting down on Universal joint wear and possible driveshaft fatigue). After my sway bars it looks like these will be the next thing for suspension. Speaking of which, any word on the group buy? _________________________ 2004 CVPI, Dark Blue Pearl, Tucked rear fascia, Osram Sylvania Silverstar 9007's, Rizzo's blinker mod, Gatorback belt, 180 degree thermostat, and more to come...
