Okay, so some of you guys know my back story but here it is shortened down; I used to be in to the import scene (still like a well done import). My last import was a 2000 EM1 Honda civic SI fully built and turboed on 18-20PSI, it put down 410hp on a mustang dyno (which was pointless in fail wheel drive but still fun). Well living in the great city of Orlando about a year and a half ago the car got stolen out of my drive way. After my car was stolen i told my self i was done with imports and since i have known g36 for quite some time he pursuaded me to give the mustangs a go.

I ended up buying a 2001 V6 (yes v6 bought it for the gas milage)

And here she is about 10 minutes after i bought it checking everything out at G36monkeys house

(November 5 2011) Painted the bezel with this awesome paint we found that sprays on rough and after you wipe it off it appears metallic! (note coolant on the floor radiator blew up on the interstate about a week prior)

Now it was time to focus on the god aweful paint... Pictures cannot show how bad it was, clear coat would fly off and land on the windshield as i was driving.. Not to mention deck screws were holding on the front bumper which was cracked to begin with -.-

Turn on the WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editing in settings, then you can copy and paste full size pictures straight from facebook

FINALLY. I was wondering when you were going to make a build thread and I was going to get to see that beautiful supercharger sitting on that engine! But did you get the hole car painted? It looks beautiful!

There's a pony in there, it's just black.


Garrett, the only reason he gets bad mileage is the O2 sensors lol. I used to pull 30.

Looks good! Never seen a centri on a V6. Is it a custom setup, or a kit?

What are the build details, power goals?

We need to have a transformation ride of the month. This car has come a long way, looks fantastic now! Keep up the good work man.

I think with the black roof, some nice dark window tint would take it up another notch!
