Yeah, I've looked at them before. I don't plan on running that big of tire up front though... unless I go this route.. lol

now that brings up memories of 70's street machines/canyon carvers with big ass fender flares and wild metalflake candy paint jobs (think bass boat here) LOL

Yeah it's here!!! :yes:

 

Boo I have no time to mess with it :no:

 

The Unisteer rack arrived today 12/19 after a couple weeks of back order waiting. Looks to be pretty good quality as others have mentioned. Unfortuately I will have little time to work with it over the holidays but there's always 2007!

 

I know.. crappy pic.

No kidding! I'm waiting on my pistons, and can't do jack until I get them. I hope they're here by next Thursday, I got 2 vacation days off with wife at work and baby at daycare...nothing to do but work on the pony.

 

So...ditto. Parts arriving is progress! :taz:

Likely the last time I do much on the car for 2006. I started my own EFI export brace and mocked up the Unisteer rack. I like the look of the beefier 1 1/8" pipe for the brace. I'll bent up a mont carlo bar after mocking up a motor with the EFI intake, etc up. I'm undecided on welding the bar in or making it removable using heims or pins.

 

Looks like I'll be replacing headers as well since I can't see how what I have will clear. I'll still drop a block down in and mock up a head and header before finaling the rack config to make sure though.

Have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year all!

if you are talking about welding it to the brace you already have started i would think it would be a good idea, would definitely help strengthen it.

oh, depending on what headers you have you might be able to make them work with the rack. i think hooker super comps will work, but the competition headers won't. you could always go with a shorty like the hedman's i have too.

i think if you use a third u-joint you'll have a lot more clearance too.

I might just go shorties and leave it at that. It would make the O2 sensors setup easier to make work as well and likely make it easier to route the hydraulic clutch slave and hose.

 

You have any pics of the drivers side of your shorty Headmans?

No big rush.. just curious on how they route. The headers that Pak have look like they have a nice hole in the right place as well.
