quote Originally posted by redraif: Next was the sleeve length and placement. I could go with a 5inch sleeve and keep a small part of the factory placed perch to seat the sleeve on, or I could remove the factory perch completely and let the sleeve rest on the bottom of the strut. After much deliberating I opted for the 7 inch sleeve resting on the bottom of the strut for strength and to cover more of the strut shaft for asthetics, as well as greater adjustability with my lowering pereferances. So I fought with Summit to try to get a sleeve from one of their vendors that I would NOT have to pay shipping on and was $10 cheaper then Coleman's, but for some reason they could not get the parts. So I went with Coleman Racing sleeves, the ID diameter was a clear 2.04 that would fit on my KYBs. Jegs was a bit cheaper on shipping , so I opted to buy from them. I thought about a 8inch sleeve for further asthetics, but time to get the part became a factor when Jegs said they had the 7in sleeve in stock, but the 8 in had a 6+ day wait. Ordered coleman part Number 420-701 (7in 2.04ID) FYI : Jegs part number is 193-420-701 ($101 shipped for the pair)

Just a bump so its not lost in the achives.... I still need it for some info and date references

------------------
1984 Indy Fiero SE Pace Car Replica #770
"SE" Stormtrooper Edition Rescued, resuscitated and reversibly modified! (I'm so not done yet!)

Poly all round & Black Drag DR-34s
Frt: 225/45 on 18x8 (47 offset w/ 8-9mm spacer) 1.5 coils cut off 1984 WS6 springs
Rear: 265/35 on 18x8.5 (45 offset) Coil-overs w/ 10 inch 300lb springs & 7 inch sleeve

Everything is the previous owners fault!

Thanks! I'm still around. The indy is still the same. Have some big plans, but due to much,much chaos.... things have been put on the back burner.

I have recently gotten the remainder of the parts I needed to start the mods. New body pieces to mod instead of the original indy pieces . Fbody front lower fender vents, Paul Angels rear quarter side vents and deck lid cowl (mustang style), JimmyS cowl hood scoop and gfx flares, areo nose and dead nose to do the skittime nose mod, new door glass via new power everything doors, smooth molding rear bumper to finish off the conversion. Might do a side marker light delete and move them to the front of the wheel well with mini side markers... still on the fence with the black or white bumpstrip.

Interior ... repairing the indy seats with donor pieces... then I plan to have russ88 do the darkgrey pieces recovered in light grey to match the rest of the interior. I might have just found a new dash without cracks.... then some floormats.... lol...

I will drop the car a bit more and go with solid rear cradle mounts to compliment the poly everywhere else. A poly dog bone.... a brake conversion if I can find the right one....and can afford it . Some engine detailing and maybe a differnt head with a bit of performance till the duke dies.

So that's the basics.... lol!

$ is the hold up.... like with anything else.... but it wil happen no worries! Maybe I will even do a build thread
