Calypso lx project!

[Shadowstealth]

So a lil over a month ago i bought a 92 lx from mike at wolf pack. The car was spotless and deff has a lot of bark with a pretty damn strong bite! :).. but i am the type of person who enjoys doin small things to a car and leaven it be.... but so far ive been like a train... been planning some kick ass things for it. I got a Pair of springs of jason "89vert" and i was cool with just that... for about a week haha... i needed some gurth to its stance and new shoes. " not that the old ones where bad.. just needed to upgrade lol" so now... I should have new wheels and tires to throw on. Along with the 5 lug conversion kit from late model restoration :) this should be the finish project for a lil bit. Hopefully ill get a all wheel disc conversion and 2 inch cowl hood :hyper:. Then off to carlisle.... but if things dont work out.. my question to you guys...if you had a choice.. would you go cowl hood or all wheel disc for carlisle. Let me know what you guys think!

Thanks again guys

Dave

PS: I found this pic of the same color 03 ' cobra on google ... and love it would it be wrong of me too do the same thing? LOVE THIS COBRA!

Those both look real nice!! 03 cobras look real good on foxs!! Do you have pics of ur new lx with the springs on it, or did i just miss the thread? All wheel discs are a plus!! that hatch above looks real clean w/o a hood IMO

Dave,

Sounds like you are enjoying the car! Glad everything worked out and I wish you nothing but the best!

those rims would look great on that fox!! go with a 4 disc.. not a fan of big hoods

Here a few pics of my 93 Calypso hatch. The little avatar hard to see. I got the cervinis storman norman hood on mine.

i love the cowl hoods but 4 wheel discs come first imo

The Cobra brake conversion was probably the best thing I did to my car.

[biminiLX]

Car looks great, love the wheels.
If the brakes are still new, go with the hood IMO.
Here's my car w/ 2" HO Fibertrends hood:

And I definitely agree with this, makes the car much better.

I would do the cowl hood, not too big though and concentrate on rims and tires before brakes. you will get much more satisfaction out of those than stopping 3 feet quicker !! BY THE WAY SWEET CAR !!!:goodidea:

Thanks I'm pretty damn glad i got this ride! Foxes are so fun to drive too. I have prob put 200 miles on my cobra since i took it out of storage in late feb. and some how since i love driven this car ive put over 600 on it. Deff love this "go cart" more then my 03 cobra for sure.

[89 vert]

First time seeing this thread, very nice car. Good luck on all your mods. To bad you didn't get to see the Roush.
