RE: SD csx grille reproductions
Yep I would, especially since they are the same as 87 CSX grills. Once thing I would suggest when looking for market, drop a line in the SDAC newsletter to gather up those folks who not Internet-aware.

Re: SD csx grille reproductions
would anyone be interested in reproduction 88 csx grilles in fiberglass? There would be a significant demand them if they were priced on a reasonable level. The challenge is that they are an intricate design with small thin sections along the headlight buckets that most likely couldn't be replicated in fiberglass. The original grilles are made from injection molded plastic. The same project has been brought up before but I haven't seen any results from any others so far. Actually I'm in need of one myself for my 1987 CSX #172, but for now I'd be happy to find one that's heavily damaged on the passenger side so I can experiment on fusing it together with my original one that has driver's side damage. Anyone got one?

SD stability at speed
Well, my engine swap is done now, it's broken in, the suspension is (almost) completely re-built (still want to get the polybushings for the rear axle), but the car just is not stable like I feel it should be. I know that the front struts are not able to keep up with the MP Autocross springs (it's kinda bouncy), but the directional stability just isn't there. I have swapped in cast control arms from a later model AA body with poly bushings and new ball joints, MP struts and Autocross springs, a Quickor 1 1/4 end link style sway bar, a new quick ratio rack with new tie rod ends, Formula GP rear shocks and MP Autocross rear springs. You can see from the pics on my site how much lower it sits compared to stock. I had it aligned recently and it came out with -.2 degrees of camber in front (-.5 in the rear) and 2.9 (left) and 2.4 (right) degrees of positive camber. The toe is slightly negative, but I don't remember the number. Problem is the car just seems to want to hunt at just about any speed. Now that I can shoot from 70 to 110 mpg with almost no effort (and in a very short space) I've found that even at 100, I'm constantly correcting to keep the car going straight. Minor corrections, but just not how I thought (or think) it should drive. I'm wondering what the rest of you are doing suspension wise to make the cars more stable.

RE: SD stability at speed
Are the steering rack mounting bolts tight? BTW, wide tires will hunt and follow grooves in the road to a certain extent.

RE: SD stability at speed
BTW, the Spirit ES and R/T used the same body parts down to the ground effects. The differences are in the detailing (colors, badging, etc) He has the MP Lowering springs, which raise the spring rate and lowers the car. Stefan -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Kevin Schellenberg Sent: Wednesday, December 01, 2004 3:44 PM To: Marc Medina; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: SD stability at speed As Dave and Stefan already said, tires can play a big part in how the car handles at speed, but also don't overlook the importance of controlling the airflow underneath your car. You want to make sure there is a low pressure area underneath and the easiest way to do that is to give the air a narrower slot under the car to pass through so that its velocity increases. I'm not sure what type of ground effects Spirit ES' came with, but you might want to look into a front air dam that is lower to the ground. I know some people have used ones off of other vehicles like S10 pickups on G-bodies. Keep in mind I'm talking about the lower air dam that is generally hidden from view, not tacking a S10 front clip on your Spirit :) LOL You might also want to look into getting some side skirts that are lower as well. I'm not sure if the Spirit R/T got different ones or not -- something to look into anyways. Lowering your car also goes a long way to controlling the airflow but as you said, you've already taken care of that.

Re: SD stability at speed
Swap in some Koni's and things get very surefooted at high speeds.. My GLHS was stable till about 135... but the car could go quite a bit more, possibly 145.., its just that the sunroof and door glass made a suction sound at about 135 and that would really screw with my ears..
