Long time mustang guy, lots o mods, first post

[metalman302]

Hey guys, been Mustang-ing and modding a long time. Registered here a while ago, just never posted.

Past:

95 GT - pullies, exhaust, CAI, AODE to 3550

Present:

94 V6 - AODE to T5, 2005 4.2L split port swap - still needs fine tuning but I've been driving it for a few months

90 GT - H/C/I, 3550, soon to be boosted

Future:

4v budget build. Huge pile of parts here. lol. Was going to stuff it all into an 80 notch, but now I'm considering putting it in a 96-98 2v.

Wow you've been registered for a long time! Welcome! Do you have any pictures of your rides?

Glad to see you posted up. welcome aboard!

95 GT (gone) - same color as GT Rob. Everyone always loved that color

94 V6 daily driver - 4.2L split port swap - Huge improvement over the stock 145 hp single port 3.8, but in the end there's still a bunch of details and it was a huge waste of time and $ IMO. lol

90 GT - My current beast

80 Notch - possible future 4v swap - or might go with a 96-98 instead...

always loved black hatch's and that split port swap just makes the engine bay look soo much better!

 

[Widow Maker]

Welcome.

I'm kinda partial to your v6, at least the color anyways...lol. What size tires are those? They look extremely low profile for being on a smaller rim.....

Those are 235/45/17. The OD should only be a small fraction under 245/45/17. Probably not even enough difference to notice. I think it's an illusion because of the 4x4 look. All the GTs around here are lowered and look sexy.

welcome man loving that 4eyed notch bro

 

[lutter94]

You've been a member longer than me....but...welcome!

Nice rides!

Everyone here loves the foxes? Maybe the grass really is greener on the other side lol.

Personally I think my notch is ugly how it sits. No tint, 4x4, faded. I like the tails, they will make great sequentials with some LEDs. The egg crate grill has to go though. You think it's tough finding good used SN95 door bezels and dash vents..... man that ain't nothing compared to some of this real early fox parts I searched forever for.This was the potential plan for it the car:

This is what the 79 & 80 interior look like. Hard plastic door panels like a SN95. None of that wood board vinyl garbage. The 79 stang had the low inside handles.

I love me a 4 eye... it will get there man..

Hate to say this... but foxes are actually kinda shitty compared to SN95. Interior is flimsy. Everything rattles and breaks. I spent a assload of time and money replacing every single suspension and brake component on the 90 GT just to get the ride quality and braking equal to a SN95. Just when I think everything is restored, now my door hinges are shot. Yes.... a car built in the 90s literally needs a restoration lol.

Fox lighting sucks too. There is no way to do HIDs on a 4 eye without it looking like rice and out of place. JMO.

Just not sure if I want to go through all that again. I miss the 95 GT I had. I'd like for the next build to be not just fast, but to be real *nice* you know... for a weekend cruise with the local club or maybe just with the wife.
