Such a good wheel to put on older Mustangs i have a spare set i use on our 95 and our 89 Mustangs!

I'm always full of ideas, i want to eventually offer a conversion kit to use 3000 GT bilstein shocks as a coil over, im also working on a nice high performance front suspension package with spherical rod ends for the lower control arm and strut rod too! Stay tuned for more!

@@PowershiftFactoryshould I jump on this ‘95 red t bird sc guy wants 3,000 it’s got about 80k miles and is 100%stock??

@STRTayso that sounds like a good deal for a 95, they have Teflon coated rotors, and a physically larger inlet to the supercharger, definitely desirable, and they should have a better more reliable ignition setup than early model supercoupes.

They can be pretty affordable, although they can be a bit dodgy these days with reliability it is 30 year old tech that was some of the best when it came out!

I'll bite, whatcha got for the fix? :)

@@PowershiftFactory lol 😁, quad shocks, beats me if anything else works. I just welded 90deg brackets on top of the upper arms and sandwiched the inner 1/4 panel sheet metal with steel plates on both sides for strength to hold the other side of the shocks. Positioned them so they dont rub the tires and all the hop was gone right away. This was on a factory suspension setup too. Did this about 20 years ago on a SC I converted to a 351W 393CI stroker.

@@reserved50 it sounds wild but maybe i'll try it it doesn't sound difficult and i have some nice quad shocks accessible to me

@@PowershiftFactory if you notice, the factory rear lower arms have a stabilizer attached to them on both sides, they knew from the factory they hopped. Too much bushing deflection

the caliper brackets? We're just about to get the final kit installed for testing here in a few weeks! once its good we will start production on it!

Thanks! Glad you liked it and found it helpful!

I really love my Bullitt they are grate cars. I'm the second owner of this one. It has got maximum motorsports tubular a-arms, coil overs, caster camber plates, eibach sway bars, rear lower control arms, 3.73 rear gears and a trutrac diff its just so well balanced. Love tearing up the canyons in SoCal with it.

Same😊 DHG #3776 🔥

We're starting to work on making and selling some parts so check out our website! We only have the rear diff mount available now but going to be testing some delrin front diff bushings out really soon and doing a new video on that slowly but surely fixing the rear IRS!

For a stock car, remove the air silencer in the fender well, get a cone intake/filter, and overdrive that blower at least 10% Mine has so much whine because the blower has a 15% overdrive and is a Magnum Powers MPX90 case without the noise silencers cut in the blower outlet. I also have a huge 85mm Throttle body and a 95mm MAF so i have huge air flow into the blower and out compared to a stock setup. Its running something like 18 PSI of boost or so.

Thanks!

The biggest thing I learned was if something looked like it was in the way you need to remove it, there are little short cuts to be had and the faster and easier route is just more disassembly! Honestly the aftermarket charge piping just helps sooo much in making this easier! But for top end work you gotta take take the wiper assembly out for sure!

Unfortunately I got those many years ago and kept them in storage for quite some time and only recently installed them, they are no longer in production. I want to work on building a drop in Bilstein inserts kit for the front for folks to buy in the future but I'm still working on the design.

Huh their website doesn't really exist anymore... and they're exclusively an ebsy store these days, its quite different from when i bought this chin spoiler, but i bet its the same i kept checking it was out of stock then one day wasn't and i bought it, its definitely a good looking piece i hope they can keep up and stay in business

That's a really good question and honestly I thought the same thing as you did when I upgraded my Dakota years ago but in practice it doesn't really matter. You have a greater / more even clamping force with more pistons, you still have the increased leverage due to the larger rotor diameter as well, and you still add substantial thermal capacity with the larger rotor which is ultimately more important. Even looking at the OEM 2 piston Cobra brake setup it only uses about 60% of the available rotor surface as well. You can quickly reach the point of diminishing returns where you could spend 4x the money on a bigger caliper but will not even see close to a few % of improvement.

Yeah those tires on the stock 16" wheels dont help. I'm going to be switching to 18" wheels sometime this year to fit my custom GT500 14" big brake kit!

Thanks! Please check out some of our other videos on the Supercoupe! We're working on custom 14" big brakes and a rear differential mount! I really want to further develop what's out there for improving the performance of our IRS a lot of the stuff out on the market for these is just really expensive for what it is... They're really a great platform though!

Glad you liked it, I hope it was useful for you!

Thanks! I cant say it didn't have a little bit of a learning curve at first, but once you get the hang of it its one of the easier CAD applications I've used. Start to finish real time it took me 18 minutes to CAD up that part for this video!

Ouch, that's a heck of a friend but I bet he wasn't super thrilled though! I have to admit I was surprised a bit to see how much everything actually moves under load.

Thanks for the comment and support! I definitely plan to put these on my supercoupe, its a bit lame on the early supercoupes like ours that we need to swap knuckles to do brake swaps though. I thought about a cobra brake setup its fairly affordable but our cars are bigger and heavier than a Mustang, we need more brake. Are you planning to keep the 5x4.25" bolt circle or changing to the mustang 5x4.5" pattern on your SC? Once I test these brackets fully I can probably sell some!

@@PowershiftFactory I'm planning on keeping the 5x4.25 bolt pattern. This past weekend I was lucky enough to find 20" wheels in our bolt pattern. I'll be more than willing to buy brackets for sure.

Thanks for the comment! I party did this just to prove I could and because it ends up being cheaper and better than other options on the market! Once I get it installed and tested on my Supercoupe I'll definitely look into having them available, if nothing else this part can be used on several of the cars we have in the shop!

Can't say the same for any of the v8s stock. Those RL's are fucking terrorists. And I personally handed out the L's in one. For a rwd 194hp v6 truck to match it up to about 40 is insane.

The late model Magnum small blocks are good engines the biggest downside they have compared to say a SBF or SBC or the 80s and 90s really was the fact that Dodge only had trucks to put these engines into at the time so they got intakes and camshafts fully optimized for that use where as the SBF and SBC were used in Camaros and Mustangs as well so were a little more performance oriented but of course being a truck Mopar gave these engines all iron heads. But the little 3.9L is a great engine, but i might swap to a 5.2L in the future since I have one with some performance parts sitting around!

@PowershiftFactory hmmm I'll fs have to look into that. I'm prolly gonna keep the v6 only because when I do start building her, she's gonna be more prerunner/dune eater type shit. She's gonna be slow fs. But if I want a speed demon offroader, I'd go get an isuzu rodeo with the 3.2 🥰. Such a fucking demon on the trails. All in all the 3.9L gets my seal of approval as a lover of v6 engines.

Thank you! I'm trying to keep up on everything while working a day job but i got lots planned this year probably more than i can pull off but stay tuned!

It gets both harder and easier, some parts are getting pretty rare these days! But its also becoming more rare of a car, im starting to get into making some of my own parts so look out for more content!

Whatcha cooling up? I'dcertainlybe interested. I've heard uhmw bushings on the knuckle and lower control arm can do the trick but they are just so expensive to buy. If you look st the cobra IRS Ford started swapping to solid cross axis joints on the knuckles but the control arm and subframe bushings seem the be the problem on those.

Haha yeah the bloating of car models, mostly due to crash and pedestrian safety standards, its hard to like super new cars the belt line is so high you have less visibility and can't even rest your arm out the window

Nice! That must have the old FRPP supercharger kit? I've seen them used on a few early Saleen S281s with the 4.6L Its the same supercharger as the Supercoupe but put upside down with a special intake manifold, you haven't had that car long yet but if you dyno it I'd be curious what it puts down!

@@PowershiftFactory oh ok i didnt know about those mine has an allen engineering kit it and my buddy has a dyno and let me use it when i got back it put down 382hp-490ft lbs of torque at 6000rms on 8lbs of boost pretty crazy considering i got it for $2800 and only had to replace a wheel bearing

@@oogalaboogala8408 that's pretty impressive for a 4.6L SOHC right up there with Terminator Cobra numbers!

For sure the 89 SC sway bar is stiffer, not a lot though but i was able to notice it. I think the '89 SC also had stiffer springs which would make it ride stiffer, I suspect ford probably changed thing sup either to save cost or maybe some people complained about the comfort of their flag ship sport luxury car so they softened it up. I need to get my rear Eibach springs installed in this car as well as a stiffer front sway bar.

@@PowershiftFactory I would think customer complaints on a slighty stiff a ride on their "luxury" car. Also the 89 with a 5spd got the most aggressive camshaft of all the SC's. In later years, the piston clearance was reduced to quiet engine noise down, especially cold.

I used Energy Suspension 43163G for the knuckles you can pick them up for $55 on rock auto. At the advice of Dave at Supercoupes Unlimited i did not use lube on the bushing to knuckles as he said the can pop out. I'll probably upgrade to UHMW at somepoint but the price was right on poly and its better than the beat up stock bushings!

Thanks! I hope it brought back some memories, these cars can be a pain but when they working well they really are wonderful cars!

I had ordered them from SupercoupePerformance.com several years ago i don't believe you can get them anymore...

I ordered them from Super coupe performance several years ago as one of the last runs that Bill got of them from Tokiko. I used a rebuilt alternator it took me a bit to find new brushes to repair the OEM alternator but I have since done that so I have a spare rebuilt one now as well.

Thanks it feels almost like these cars are making a come back these past few years which is pretty interesting. I can absolutely relate this is my second engine! But boy the brakes and suspension need a serious overhaul I'm planning to tear through the rear suspension pretty soon

If you're in the Seattle area or willing to ship it to me I'd happily take it off your hands!

yah how do i message you @@PowershiftFactory

My plan is to get it fixed up on my own dime so the insurance cant force a salvage title and total it just to save a few bucks because they dont realize the cars real value or that its appreciating. Then once nice swap to collectors insurance with an agreed value. Insurance are cheap skates

@@PowershiftFactory 110% I have been seeing some clean examples going for 5-6k easily around my area and low mile examples in really good shape going for 10-13k. Once i get mine back on the road, i plan on getting it appraised.

Sorry to hear this also happened to you, i certainly know the feeling its awful and frustrating hope the swap goes smoothly!

Thanks they are really cool cars but most don't really know they ever existed!

You're grandpa was rolling with a Supercoupe!? That's pretty awesome definitely not so much about the tree I hope it wasn't damaged worse than mine, sadly every year more and more of these cars make it into the scrap yard.

Haha I meant to ask in the video if anyone figure out what happened given the weird damage! I'll look into PDR for the c-pillar dent for sure, I'm saving up a bit to get some of the front end parts re-painted sometime this year.

Yeah I was trying to figure out what to do with it, I'm glad it didn't damage the heater box or glove box. I think if i can get it shaped back together I could wrap the dash in some vinyl or something and get it looking better than it was originally. So probably a dash repair video is in my future. I am not excited to remove the dash though!

@@PowershiftFactoryon the bright side, this is a great opportunity for customization And insurance companies make me so mad 😡 was not a total loss, they just didn’t want to pay for it

@@eatmenickers6238 I couldn't agree more I think in the end it will end up better in the long run. I'm really targeting OEM+ style with this car so wont do anything too wild but boy an actual cup holder would be nice to have haha.

@@PowershiftFactoryAll I want is to put a refrigerator in my center console 😂. It makes perfect sense for a touring car to have one, and considering some SC have an extra cd player on top of the track player/ radio it’s possible to route those wires to power it without draining your battery But I’m in agreement, I think stock looks great already, I just want some mesquite accents to mix it up
