    Thanks. The back end of the car seems pretty tight. With the bigger sway rear sway bar, the c-pillar bar/brace and the rear strut tower bar, I can't complain. I'm not sure if the car is driving more neutral now or if I'm noticing a slight amount of over steer. I do like how responsive it is.

    I just wish I could talk AZGTX to sell me back the front H-brace.... LOL.

                LOL. Just thought that on the small chance that you weren't going to use it after all, that maybe I could be first in line to buy it from you, but if you ARE going to use it... ignore me.

                BUT, if you change your mind.....

                Actually, I thought I'd try to build my own. Wish me luck.

                  Hey Larry, May I ask where you got the C-pillar bar and Rear strut bar? I am looking to do some suspension stiffening on the wagon.

                    I think the C-pillar bar was for a Honda Civic hatchback, but I can't remember. Shiftyman may remember. He's the one who told me originally. The rear strut bar is partially custom. Nobody made the correct end pieces in order to bolt it up to the top of the strut towers so with the help of my neighbor, we made those. The bar was a cheapy off of ebay I think I just asked different sellers to measure the bars they were selling in order to figure out which one was the length I most likely needed.

                      My dyno run two years ago after I swapped in the VJ-11/14 hybrid turbo. I ran the test only at 11 lbs of boost at the time. Right now I'm running about 15 lbs of boost. I haven't dynoed it yet. I'm also doing a few more mods. Can't wait..... I want to crack the 200 WHP mark. :D

                          So..... I just bought the "MSD Ignition 6421 - MSD 6AL-2 Ignition Box" as one of my bigger summer experimental mods. I'm hoping for a little improvement in HP and MPG... okay, I'm hoping for a lot.... who isn't? LOL.

                          Anyway, I am sure that i will need to get one of the tach adapters in order to make the stock tach work correctly. They make the #8910 and the #8920. I'm not sure which one I'm supposed to get. Does anybody know?

                            I had a problem with my MSD 6AL when I installed it. The car would start and then shut off. The MSD 8910 is needed for the 6AL to work in the BF 323.

                              Resurrection time...... so, I haven't done much to my GT because I've been busy focusing on work, family, and my health. I have had a little bit of a rough go with my health this school year, but I'm staying positive and looking forward to working on the car. Still have several mods on hold.... new aluminum radiator, water temp gauge, another H-brace thanks to azgtx, re-working parts of my intake and exhaust, installing my MSD box that I haven't gotten around to yet, and so on. Got the roof of my car painted last fall so now the car looks way better.
