Marauder Mods Underway....

[MI2QWK4U]

I left my Marauder at Lidios this week for some overdue mods. In the capable hands of Marc, the Metco trifecta was completed (control arms, watts link, and drive shaft loop). Marc was nice enough to give the rear calipers 3 coats each of the Eastwood epoxy paint treatment, and you guys were right, it looks great! When I left the Baer Big Brake Kit was just about finished, cant get over those brakes! Finishing up with some upgraded brake lines and its just about done. Damn...I love that beast.

I will have to contact Lidio for a few mods I am doing this year also. :D

I am thinking Marc finished it up tonight. If its still apart on the hoist Monday I will take a couple pictures. He wanted the caliper paint to fully cure overnight before driving it, so I just told him I would grab it Monday.

These pics arent the best, Marc had the car done except for the drive shaft loop and I didnt want to bug him to take the tires off, which gives you the best view of the rotors, calipers, and control arms. I need to clean up that bracket on that real caliper, but other than that, the Eastwood kit worked well.

Very nice ! You are gonna love the "ride on the rails" affect and REALLY love it when you throw it into a corner and punch it ... not that I have done that yet, mind you...

Hang on tight when you hit those brakes. I bedded and seasoned my last weekend. All I can say is, it is like having the brake system supercharged! From 65 to 5 in the blink of an eye. I swear I thought the car was going to stand up on the front bumper.

W/ the Watts link many members have gotten the bigger front sway to eliminate a twitchy rear end.

I've done the Metco upper & lower control arms, Watts link, Addco frt & rear sway bars and it does handle like it's on rails.... also did the driveshaft hoop.

I second that motion. Only problem with the Baer's is when I go back to my daily beater (97 Exploder) I get the cold sweats cause it feels like I'm not going to stop!!!

Dave, mucho nice! 500hp car and brakes to match :cool:
