Maximum95's GT

Love the scenery with this! Car looks killer here!

Thank you my friend, we are lucky to have beautiful scenery here in New Mexico. And tbh, I do miss this look. It was one of my favorites. By 2017 it was really dialed in too.

April 2015. I added 1" spacers to the front, lowered the ride height, rolled the front fenders and added more camber.

July 2015, the Big Country Labs wing goes back on the car.

August 2015. I had been wanting a full-frame camera for a while, so I bought myself a Canon 5D Mark II. Here are some of the first photos I took with it.

January 2016. My Mishimoto radiator cracked, right where the tubes meet the end tanks. I called them up, and they warrantied it no problem. The version that cracked had the mounts welded directly to the end tanks. They sent me an updated version, where the mounts are bolted to the end tanks with some isolators. I still have that same updated radiator on the car.

I told myself I was going with a more traditional build on my 95, but every time I see this car I want to build a stancey car again

Same exact thing happened to mine a few years back. Car went through several radiators, and I just assumed after the 3rd or 4th replacement (of various quality brands as well) that they all suck. Turns out the SN95 radiator core support is flimsy and weak. Mishimoto's updated 'floating' radiator was the last draw and it has proven itself for well over 8 years now.

I can't blame you at all. I almost feel the same looking back! I would have to get another one though, I've always wanted a '96-'98 convertible. If it's a coupe I just feel like it needs to go performance!

I'm glad to hear that! Luckily I only had the one crack before I got the updated one. Also 8 years on mine!

March 2016. My friends and I took a little trip to the Gilman Tunnels near Jemez Springs, NM for some photos.

Here's a little burnout video to go along with the last post...

March 2016. At some point I installed an MSD 6A to fix the spark blowout, and the car would rev to limiter no problem. I actually got it for free, a guy gave it to me out of a Merkur XR4Ti that didn't run. Cool car though!

I also swapped ProCharger pullies with a friend, I went from 4.0" to 3.7", which brought the boost up to 13psi. We filled the car with E85 and headed to the dyno for a retune.

This time it made 398whp and 411wtq.

April 2016. I finally bought the BC Racing rear suspension to go with the front. I was able to lower the rear quite a bit more with these, looked a lot better. I still have them on the car now. Also the wing came off... for the last time!

June 2016. My friends and I all participated in Desert Fest, one of the big local car shows for tuner stuff.

June 2016. Just some photos, I was pretty happy with the ride height at this time.

I wish I had photos of the install, but around this time I added the Maximum Motorsports subframe connectors. That was hands down one of the best modifications.

October 2016, my girlfriend (now wife) and I bought our house. And with that the Mustang finally had a home. I had been keeping it at a family member's house for a long time. We had the garage floor coated before we moved the cars in. Pictured in the background is our 1997 Town Car. We still have it. Bought it with 90k miles, and it now has 184k. Fantastic car.

October 2016. Just taking photos as usual. We even had a visit from a roadrunner.

May 2017. The car remained the same for a while. I got the charge pipes powdercoated matte black, got a black coupler for the throttle body, and some other miscellaneous clean up under the hood.

May 2017. Some more photos from the same day. I had also started using Lightroom to edit my photos, versus the free software I was using previously.

May 2017. Jereme, who you may remember from earlier in the thread, moved to Albuquerque for a while. So we had to get the Mustangs together once again.
