nice fox man.

just a sweet car all together.

thanks guys. I can't wait to get to drive it!!! I am saving up for the lower control arms now, and then I will be saving up for the shp block so we can turn up the wick a bit. This thing is barely working up a sweat making 600 at 13 lbs, and only 5400 rpm's. It's going to be really cool to hear it hit 6k or 6300 or so and see what it makes in that range. Then put a smaller pulley on and see what 17lbs or more of boost does for it. lol. Just never ends!!!

wow kickass build.

 

[Jasperstang308]

also where did you get those emblems?

 

[NXcoupe]

BOSS inc, out of cincinnati. I believe their website is bossincstyle or something like that. I am not sure he still makes them but it is worth a shot. I have had them on there forever. Just like the look better than the old 5.0 emblems it used to have.

I can't believe I havn't seen this thread until now.
Nice work NX! that is a great looking custom car.
engine and suspension, body/paint. well done.
I like the 2 tone paint, different is good.

How goes it Man?? Haven't heard from you in a bit. When is your overseas bid over? I envy your car btw

 

[got5.0]

I see a blue termi... Nice build man, is it just gonna be a street car or what?

 

[NXcoupe]

Yep, street car. I am in the process of parting it out now, believe it or not. I am going to put a stock driveline back in it, and then either keep it and let my fiance drive it, or sell it as a nice driver/showcar. Went home, drove it, enjoyed it a little and then realized that driving it two or three days out of a year is a waste of money and time. So out it all comes, lol.

 

[1bad95]

aw man say it aint so! That thing is absolutely awesome!

 

[NXcoupe]

Unfortunately, yeah. I regretted it as soon as the supercharger was off the car. I've enjoyed it for almost 2 years now, but have put barely 2k miles on the setup. Just seems a waste to me. I'm going to sell everything off of it and then put a stock driveline in it, and let my fiance drive it or just sell it. There will be other projects once this one is gone.

 

[white95]

Just drive the car in your sig to the grocery store!

 

[Paul]

After all that work!?!?!

You're nuts man. But I understand - I recently took apart one of my cars that has been with me for 10 years. I just didn't have the time or ambition for it anymore.

 

[white95]

Is that why you took your silver car apart Paul? Is that what I have to look forward to also?

 

[Paul]

Yep. Eventually you get old, tired, and have other priorities.

 

[Dalamar]

huh huh, Paul's Old! huh huh huh

 

[Paul]

Not as old as Jeff. He's like a million billion or something.

 

[Dalamar]

a bazoogle.






sorry for whoring up your thread NX

 

[white95]

That, kids, was the word of the day.

 

[NXcoupe]

No problems, its good reading! Yeah, I am regretting it now, but what the heck, it'll be a fun driver now. It sounds silly but a 600 hp car is not that much fun to drive on the street, it's cool and all, but I have more fun with a 300 rwhp car truthfully. Heck, I get on it in 3rd and at gear change I was over 100 mph and that was in a matter of seconds. Not to mention stabbing the throttle and it going everywhere but straight up through second gear and into bottom of third. So there will be other project cars down the road.
