SO !

After my introduction thread a lot of people wanted to see a build thread here it is !

So here the car the first day i bought it




the first day i change the wheel because it came with the boring bullet and i didint want a mustang look ...

over the winter (i live in canada so i have to store the mustang for 5 month every year ) i bought a lot of parts !









first thing first my bucket seat ... worst experience ever, sliding around a mustang with stock seat !

then

after realising that mustang have no steering lock i wanted to fix that so i got a set of those sweet lca and im really happy with the build quality i cant wait to install them . Also i got my extra set of knucle that i gave them to my friend to get them cut and welded




my kenny brown traction bracket

i had a something similar on my corolla and loved it ! its also gonna help me go lower


hydrolic handbrake because stock mustang ebrake suck donkey balls

pill of stuff i picked up from albany new york !

my 4.10 r/p from ford racing

ratec instalation kit for the rp

granatelli camber caster plate !! but they dont fit my coilover now i have to get a custom sleeve because the shock shaft is to small and its loose in my current sleeve !!

AND !!!!! now the coilover !!!!

i couldn resist buying something else ! its been a while i wanted to replace my bullit drift spare ! A local company introduce a new model of wheels pretty funky for a mustang

specs are 18x9 et15 18x10 et15

when i bought them i didint know if i was gonna rock them as drift spares or daily ... you'll get the answer later on it that thread


so first thing i did when the car came out of storage this year was changing the front brake because everything was finished

i installed my seat

it feels soo good !!!

Nice thread, nice list of parts! That hand brake looks fun

+1 on parking 5 months a year... it sucks, but it gives a nice time to collect parts and do work

yeah my big problem is i dont own a house ... so i cant work on my car during the off season

today i change my rear spring and installed my other pair of wheel









next step is to change the bushing in my control arm so i can instal my traction bracket and go lower !!

2 weeks ago


got my knucles back !!

i installed my new suspension and my new link kit on the car !!

i also took out the rear sway bar

result :

for the moment im really disapointed ... i really wanna go lower but the rear is maxed out i could not install my kenny brown traction bracket because the bushing were stucked .. so ill be ordering new bushing during the week so i can install them and they will help me go lower ! As for the front i can still go down another 4 inch at least so im not worrried for that ...


feeling so far ... way more traction than what i have with the eibach sport kit i love it .... I was on 265 michelin pilot sport i had trouble putting my power on the ground ... as is now im on 235's potenza re760 and i have double or even triple the traction i had!!


next step knucles and lca

I love this whole thing. I want those LCAs and brake for my 95 and the wheels for my SVO... sweet build sir, very jealous.

 

[RichV]

Love the 4 spoke wheels.

What did you do for more traction? Just the coils?

 

[m@nu]

took out the rear sway bar and softer spring in the back ...

next step is kenny brown traction bracket !

right before i put the car on the alignement machine



on the ramp



my GF approving the stance



i also installed my co pilot



thats it for the moment ... ill wait to install the rest of my stuff because i gotta finish building my friends skyline in order for us to tandem soon

The thing hanging down is often called a "dog bone" its useless and you can just remove it with no ill side affects.

Those wheels look really good on your car

I hope that steering knuckle isn't as scary as it looks.

well .. it was my first drift day of the year saturday ..... not really a good day ...

first run traction control turned on ... i idint even know it was working because i never got any light in the dash... when i pressed my tc button nothing was happening ...
second run : missfire problem from pulling the wrong fuse to disable the abs/tc

third run i lost power steering ...

fourth run .... never happened ... The weirdiest thing happend to me. I was waiting in line for my turn, suddently i hear a boom .... car shuts off. I try to restart it nothing is happenning ... i push the car away smoke start to come out the hood. After opening the hood we only see smoke so i try to see where its coming from. Suddendly i see something red and glowing on the passenger side... FIRE !! Well apparently even tho your dont use is your starter can explode ! Havent work on the car yet brought it back home on its own power from bump starting it ... im kinde scared to see the damage now ...

at least my buddy manage to snap a couple picture

 

[ProKiller]

wow you got real lucky that you caught that in time. it's amazing how fast a car can go up in flames. good luck man

 

[Ferocious]

Damn sorry to hear that. Hopefully nothing to bad happened.


On the other hand, those pics are sweet!

 

[duh09]
