So far my best time has been 8.49 at 81 mph in the 1/8th. Thinking the housing could be bent and causing the breakage, a new housing was located.Īlso on order went a set of housing braces from Wild Rides Race Cars, a pair of Strange 31 spline race axles with C-clip eliminators and 1/2-20 x 3' wheel studs, and a FRPP 31 spline Cobra differential.īracing, Diff Girdle and 4.30:1 Gears going in.

Well, you guessed it! Broke a third axle.Īnd that brings me to my current round of upgrades! Got that repaired and went to the track for the next points race. Then at the Horsepower Junkies Draggin Rights I broke another axle. Team Z Double Adjustable Lower Rear Control Arms At the same time I installed a 3 row aluminum radiator and new 180* thermostat. So on order went a pair of Team Z double adjustable rear lower control arms and 1/2' grade 8 bolts. It was bent approximately 5/8' up higher at the spring perch. Upon further inspection the right rear lower control was also bent. The seal was leaking on the right side axle tube. This wasn't so good either as a bad lower control arm bushing had caused severe wheel hop. So in went new Motive Gear 28 spline axles as replacements and new seals before the first points race of the year. The very first run of the year during test and tune I snapped the left rear axle on the launch.

For this round of mods I only added a 70mm mass air meter from a '94 Gt. Also a set of home made sub frame connectors got welded in at this time. This time a fiberglass 4' cowl hood, light weight Weld Rod Lite wheels, 275/60-15 Mickey Thompson drag radials, and 4.10:1 Ford Racing ring and pinion gears were added to get it ready for the drag strip.

So he had the idea to put some slicks on Shadow and run it to stay in the points until he could rebuild.Īfter this I put it back on the road. After a couple of races the crank in his car broke. He bought a roller and started building it up. While it was taken off the road my dad decided to get back into drag racing. But the passenger side had snapped the rear axle and bent in the lower rear portion of the rear quarter panel.Īfter that incident I took it off the road for a while until things were fixed and my paycheck could with stand the insurance of another vehicle again.

After rolling it back level to my surprise only the driver side view mirror was broken. Also at this time I further stripped the rest of the remaining AC system.Īnd it stayed in this state for several years until one day on my way to work I crossed oven an ice slicked bridge and sent it into a ditch.

Also a set of aluminum undrive pulleys, Professional Products polished 70mm throttle body and EGR plate and smog pump delete. This time it was an electric fan when the old fan clutch went out. I drove it for a little while until the bug struck again.

I wasn't long before the itch to modify it more kicked in and I purchased a set of BBK full length headers, BBK off road H-pipe and MAC dumped cat back system.īBK Headers, Off Road H-pipe & MAC Dumped Cat Back The only mods done to it by previous owners were Flowmaster's welded into the factory cat back, an AC delete due to a locked up AC compressor, a K&N conical filter, and a Tremec 3550 with Hurst shift handle and knob. I purchased it used in 2001 to help offset the daily driver duties of ZERO my '96 Cobra.
