my hand started cramping today and all i was doing was sawing a 1/2 cm antenna

LOL then don't, and I repeat DON"T ever try to cut an exhaust with a hacksaw. That shit takes forever man lol. Springs prob wont be much better but at least you'll be able to change the angle. Exhaust your kinda stuck with it lol.

Speakin of Summit I went down there the other day and picked up some slotted and drilled all the way around for my daily. To my surprise when looking around online they were the cheapest out the door than all the other stores house brands. And mine came with ceramics up front and semis in the back. Not bad for the daily. $260 out the door for all 4 rotors and pads. Just food for thought for anyone looking for a cheap fix for there brakes.

Btw Im lovin the car. It's like mine, looks stock as hell. And I don't mean that in a bad way at all. Right now I'd rather it look stock. Big difference between when you got it and now. Keep at it man!!

Also you have the same wing as me so do this with a buddy. Take it off. Don't worry the studs are gonna feel lose, you didn't break anything that's just how they are. You'll see 3 holes on both sides of the trunk for a total of 6. Shave the nubs off the wing with a grinder (or whatever you choose we had a grinder sittin there) and move the front studs to the middle holes and mark where the rear studs are and drill em out and bolt the wing back on. It will bring your wing back about 3in or so and get it off the trunk. Do it and stand back and look at it from the side. Dude it looks killer. Believe me well worth it. It's the little things that make the biggest difference!

those rotors look great

Thanks, i do want to bring the wing back a little bit. just havent gotten around to it

what brand seats are you getting?
if you get summit racing seats, could you emphasize how you mounted them on the brackets?

I was looking at the summit racing seats, they seem to be a good deal. I know there is a member here that has them in his new edge, the guy with the sick v6.

I need to ask him how he likes them. I noticed that the brackets are for 94-98.. or atleast the ones I saw

 

[belber095]

he told me he got the brackets from a junk yard.

I love the way my Bassani exhaust sounds. Had quite a few compliments on it too.

I saw that they made a non stainless version that cost $200 less, http://www.stage3motorsports.com/product/BX46995S/
which puts it in the realm of fesability..

 

[MustangChris]

buy it and never look back.


get that shit ceramic coated at a $200.00 savings. lol.

Thanks man, it is desperite need of updating i am just to lazy...

 

[Cpotts13]

Alright I have been lazy lately in updating this thread but lets start.
After I upgraded the sway bars there wasnt much done performance wise for ahwhile,

in early November my alternator went bad, like catastrophically bad, it was whinning and shooting sparks...
I went ahead and replaced it with a new pi performance 130 amp alternator and I also replaced the water pump, it was loose and didnt have much life left in it.

After that my next big thing was a set of H&R super sport springs, i was freaking tired of the truck like stance the frpp gave my car and instead of messing around with cutting them i went ahead and got better ones.

new stance

finally i have it as low as i want it to be.

After the spings I was having the infamous "cobra clunk" ( i know its not a cobra but the brakes are) and come to find out that there was supposed to be anti rattle clips on the pads, i didnt know that cause when i bought them there wasnt any on there lol.. anyways a cheap 10 dollar fix and my car feels more solid then it ever has.

yesterday I was washing my car and was almost done, went to dry my rims of and found this..

the clear coat on both the rear rims were flaking off in large chunks.. needless to say i was pissed.
Called up American muscle, because they have a one year warranty and they were covered. The new ones will be in friday, free of charge and they are even taking care of the mounting and balancing and return shipping costs! Thumbs up for good customer service!

That brings us up to date so far, hopefully for Christmas i will be getting new front tires, nito nt555's. But if not the next mod i am definitely planning on getting is 17x9 in rims with corresponding tires for the front. Right now i have 17x8 and they look a little sunkin in because the car is so low.

If i do get the tires i will be getting a couple other mods. Hubcentric wheel spacers, prepainted hood scoop and side scoop and mach one chin spoiler!
Gonna pay some attention to the aesthetics a little bit!

I promise to keep this thread updated for now on! woot

Well I finally got a Cai!!

also did the transmission fluid swap, replaced the fuel filter and new spark plugs. Not very exciting i know. The transmission fluid was only slightly dirty, so not much difference. A bit smoother. Now the fuel filter was a big deal, at least to me. It was the original filter that was from the factory, and when I took it off and tipped it sideways, black fuel and sentiment poured out. Glad I got that crap out of my fuel system. As for the spark plugs I noticed it is alot smoother when revving.

Up next is a tune, throttle body (70mm) and plenum.


I did notice a slight difference with the cai, so hopefully with all this it will be a huge gain over stock.


Also I plan to make my first dyno run this march on a mustang dyno. I'm pretty excited to see what I can put down.


I am really hoping to see 255 rwhp and 280rwtq with a
-93 octane "race tune"
-airaide cai
-professional products 70mm tb
-professional products plenum


Comments or suggestions welcomed!
