- Do NOT use the driver footbox panels that come on the kit, they are 5.0 panels.
- If you remove the gauge pod, wire a 520 ohm resistor between the leads on the charge light or the alternator will not charge the battery.
- Order a set of studs for the oil pan it will make removal POSSIBLE.
- The stock cobra gauges are too small to use inside the FFR gauge rings.
- Tires make a bigger difference than suspension.
- Have a shop vent/vacuum the freon out of the AC system to before disabling the car.
- Wire in a rear cutoff switch if you plan on racing and have a trunk battery.
- Buy pre-flared brake lines because they are REALLY hard to flare properly.
Things I'm glad I did:
- The footbox mod - the extra room is really critical.
- Tune - gotta keep that old engine running well.
- New transmission - Smart Parts Auto can get you a good deal on a transmission that will make a huge difference for smooth driving.
- Interior light - a 10 minute wiring job that I use ALL the time.
- Diet one circuit at a time - and make sure it still works in between each.
- During donor teardown, label every connector!
