Might need coilovers or the height adjustable lower control arms if you want to be able to move the ride height around in the rear.

Car looks great! Get adj. Coil overs from U.P.R. to match the front then sale me the coils that are on it now I have the front ones in my car already. I stole them from my brother once he put the coil overs on. ;D

What size tires are you running and do they rub?

The tires on it now are 225/60 with no rubbing. In fact I'm sure a 245 would fit with ease as well. Maybe even a 275/50 with the quad shocks coming off. I never even knew they made adjustable coil overs for the rear. I am going to look into those.

Not really. My wife and I are on vacation until Friday morning so nothing happened with it for a few weeks now. Hopefully ill get motivated with it since I've got a few new suspension parts gathered to install.
Also we broke our laptop, the one I use for tunerstudios, so I will have to wait to get a new one once we get back...

Been a while since my last real updates.
I welded on some sub frame connectors I had for about a year now, bought a welder and practiced on exhaust pipes and scrap metal for a couple weeks. The welds are ugly but it's under the car so noone can see that! I also installed some adjustable upper control arms I bought used. Still weighing out options for lower control arms. As of now I can't figure a great way to get the Welds to fit over the rear brakes so I'm deciding if I want to do something for handling or drag racing.
I still haven't tried to install the 65lb injectors, for some reason I'm afraid of trying to tune and adjust TS's in the PiMP for them. I don't know why though.

There shouldn't really be any tuning required with the larger injectors if you configure it correctly. You install them, change the required fuel value to match the new injector size, enter the injector offset "dead time" as stated in the sticky thread in the PiMP section of this forum, and the engine should run the same.

Yeah I know, I've read the injector thread a few times but for some reason I'm a little apprehensive to do it.

I lost the keys to the SVO! I've looked all over the house and can't find them. We are experiencing a "cold front" in FL right now and that means perfect 75* cruising weather! I got everything done except the larger injectors and I want to go CRUISING! This is pretty irritating. I might have to get a new ignition for it...

With an 85 SVO, the column ignition is only in control (other than ignition related tasks) of radio, windows, and the blower motor, right? The lights work independently of that, same with signals and dash alarms? If I don't have a/c anymore, no windows to send power to is there anything else lost in the ACC setting of the ignition if I delete that and go to a push button set up? I'm looking at one that doesn't require a key. It comes with an on/off switch and momentary button. Would be cool to put it under the dash near the fan control switch.
I just thought about the fuel pump... that would have to be wired some way to the on/off switch right? Or make a switch for it independently. I would rather have it combined with an on/off switch if possible.

I'm not sure how the acc side of the switch controls those items. You would have to put the fuel pump on a toggle switch.

Might be a little more work than I want to deal with. I was just looking through Summit and the push button switches were cheaper than a new ignition switch.
