UNBROKEN’s Iconic Silver ST build

[Stone17]

That stuff already has a new home.

Did you sell your Stock brakes setup?

Did you sell your Stock brakes setup?

Yes…a long time ago.

 

[Stone17]

Yes…a long time ago.

Damn.

 

[UNBROKEN]

Busy day today. I’ll drive it tomorrow and bed them in.

 

[TheHypnoToad]

Looks nice. How difficult was the install?

 

[UNBROKEN]

Got the brakes finished up with a quick test drive and 2nd bleed then had a buddy stop by with a scan tool to run an ABS Service Bleed just in case. The oem fittings are such a pain in the ass…the lowest bidder strikes again. Drove home and bedded them on the way but haven’t really stood on them yet. Had to get home for a dinner out with the family.

More pics…I love this stupid car.

Are you on H&R's? @UNBROKEN

Are you on H&R's? @UNBROKEN

Yep

 

[StoneColdBlue22]

Yep

I would disagree with those people.

I have a new set of Steeda springs but really wanted the lower drop of the H&R’s. I based my decision on what others have said about the floaty soft feeling and I’ve had Steeda’s on a few mustangs which always worked out great. Seeing a side view of your ST is making me want to sell the Steeda’s.

why did you go with drilled instead of slotted or slotted/drilled?

I don’t like their current slotted style and they don’t offer the drilled/slotted style I had before from them which was my first choice.

Working on a strut tower brace. I found the aluminum bar then stripped the paint and I’ll weld up the mounts this weekend.

Hey Rich, been waiting on my 22 to come in from Ford Storage Purgatory and have been lurking on your build. quite a good looking setup you got goin on man very well done. I think you had mentioned somewhere along the way that you built this sway bar from a Corolla part? I access to build and burn some metal and this looks like a fun project, any way you can direct me to where I can find this? thanks man

man…it’s been a while but I found it on eBay…like 45 bucks or something stupid cheap.

 

[mycbtech]

nice, just found it, thanks for the reply!

 

[UNBROKEN]

Guess I forgot to add the audio updates in here. Custom sail panels for the Focal Utopia TBM tweeters by me. A-pillars for the Utopia 3.5WM midranges by MTI. I have to finish the midbass tweaks this weekend then retune…then I hope it’s finally done

 

[zdubyadubya]

Can't believe you already have 45,000 miles on this thing. I remember when you joined this forum after you had just bought it, and I'm still only at 18k.

 

[UNBROKEN]

Well over 20K of that is just road trips…that’s about all I use it for anymore. Going up to MO in it next month.
