Where's My RedPill?

[BigTaco]

Rick,
Does that have a sight glass?

 

[VoodooBoss]

No it doesn't. I don't check it anyway.

Those welds are a work of art on that coolant tank.
Are the welds done by hand or machine?
Hats off to Moroso with building parts with show quality.
What's the little hole in the filler neck for.

 

[VoodooBoss]

I have no idea what that little hole is for nor do I know if it's hand welded. It does look good though.

 

[BigTaco]

Vent ?

 

[VoodooBoss]

Probably.

 

[TymeSlayer]

I weld like that... In my dreams.

I have the Moroso tank for the Boss that I painted flat black and it's held out great over the past three years.

The hole is so you can hang it by a wire if you're powder coating or anodizing it. That way the outside will not have a mark.

 

[VoodooBoss]

Lowering springs installed.

 

[ArizonaBOSS]

Looks good from here!

 

[JAJ]

Lowering springs installed.

Could you maybe move the tree so it doesn't block the sun like that? Which tires, by the way - is this with the 30's or the 35's?

 

[VoodooBoss]

It's the stock MPSS on R spec wheels. I posted this pic last week.

 

[TMSBOSS]

Tree still there?

 

[JAJ]

Thanks for reposting - much easier to see now - so it looks like the lowering springs give you about the same ride height with the MPSS's as you get with regular springs and MPCS2's. Is that about right?

 

[VoodooBoss]

John that's about it although I think it's a kiss lower with the springs. I expect to scrape on my driveway when the 30 series tires are on the car and getting my jack under the car will require driving onto some 2x4's to lift the car a bit.

 

[Froggy47]

If you are lowered (in general - not a specific value) and you scrape, what hits?

So I mean in the front radiator area and also the middle of the car.

On my c5z it's the radiator support frame and middle it's the (stock) mufflers.

Ugh.

 

[VoodooBoss]

The back of the front splitter is the lowest point and is where I scraped prior to installing the lowering springs.

Anything in the middle, when you go over speed bumps?

 

[VoodooBoss]

Not yet but I'm expecting it at some point.

The car looks great with the lowering springs. Have you had a chance to get it on track yet and see how they perform over the stock springs?
