Nice dude! love laser red, and it looks super clean. btw post up the Nov. ROTM nominations, it's almost december! haha

the past two months i have been pretty late with the ROTM, i JUST got the last mod list yesterday. i will most likely postpone these for December to get back on a regular schedule.

so everyone that was nominated for Nov. will be in the running for December automatically and dropping november

Congrats Ryan. Looks like a sweet car, just be careful of the cooling system on those 96's >< I've heard a lot of bad things about them.

That being said, nice pick up bro, really clean for the mileage.

Can I get some jelly with that peanut butter?

i actually like the peanut butter. i'd love some Saddle 03/04 Cobra seats :insertdroolingsmileyhere:

thanks everyone. car runs fantastic aside from a dying starter. should be getting a new one soon, they arent as expensive as i thought

ive had 2 friends drive it so far and tell me that the clutch is pretty stiff, but i havent driven many 5-speed mustangs so i would know what to compare it too. but it isnt bad, now im curious what a light clutch feels like on one of these things. i dont think it's bad honestly

Thats just how these cars are. its a cable clutch not hydraulic so it takes a little more pressure to push in. No one else is used to it cuz they have cars with hydraulic clutches and those are super easy to push in.

I have a spec stage 2 in my car and its even more stiff than factory but i dont even notice it unless i drive someone else's car to compare it to that is. but then after gettin back in my car for 5 minutes it feels like any other car to me. People just arent used to it.

yup, I'm the same way with my Stage 3. people think I'm nuts for daily driving it in stop and go traffic, but the fact is, you get used to a stiff clutch after a short period of time. According to my friends they have never felt a clutch nearly as stiff as mine. Then I hop in there car and nearly put the pedal through the firewall because it's so light lmao.

I call my clutch/flywheel combo an anti-theft system. Few people can drive the clutch and the aluminum flywheel doesn't help. Let alone the fact I'm 6'6" and I had to make my own non-adjustable seat bracket to fit in the car, so most people can't reach the pedals to begin with.

exactly. you will get used to anything regardless. everyone told me that a stage 3 was totally unstreetable and that a stage 2 is barely streetable. but my stage 2 is easy. and i am now friends with someone who DD's a stage 3 like you.

haha. and i know what you mean about putting other people's clutches through their firewall. lol
