Changes/Mods to your car or truck over the winter

[Stangman701]

Mostly cosmetic stuff for me
- replace the chin spoiler (mine has a lot of curb rash)
- smoked fog lights
- new struts and shocks
- new tires
- UPR Rock Crusher shifter
- fix my leaking driver's side valve cover

You're going to love that rock crusher. I have just the handle on my car and it puts the shifter handle in a much better position

I'll add my current project for the Focus. Most likely the last hoo-rah for my "between Mustangs" car. :D

- 10.4:1 forged pistons
- Forged rods
- ARP main and head studs
- Clevite race bearings
- mild cams
- GT2871r turbo
- direct port meth injection
- Torsen LSD
- coilovers
- poly bushings
- Lakewood traction bars
- ARP extended front lugs
- Excedy hyper single clutch
- Slicks

Probably other stuff I'm forgetting. Final goal is 11.9 or better in the 1/4 with the current turbo. I expect it to take a few trips and a lot of practice launching a FWD.

The motor is built and in the car. Torsen LSD is also in. Just buttoning up small stuff before the first start.

I am just doing the handle as well. It looks really cool. Reminds me of that old muscle car look.

I shouldn't talk, my gt500 is turning into a garage ornament. I was planning on a a few things this winter, I talked to Mike in the fall and he squeezed my car in his schedule before winter. VMP tvs, kb bap, and vmp twin 67 tb. I might throw some id725s or Id1000s. Stock 47s are maxed, car is making mid 600s right now

Id say your maxing out those 47's...lol

I have ID1000's in my NA car and I love them! They drive great! ID's customer service is awesome as well. They are pricey injectors but are well worth it IMO.

Did you order directly from them? It's something I'm going to look into soon.

I have a few small changes planned for over the winter for my Z06 to try to add maybe a few more HP and some other small goodies!

1.) Im adding an off-road X-pipe instead of the catted version I have on there now. (Should be a good bit louder, maybe save a lb. or 2 and maybe add a few ponies!)

2.) MGW shifter as we all know I tend to miss the 1-2 shift from time to time at the track.....lol

3.) GM Centennial suede steering wheel with red stitching to match the rest of my interior.


Not a whole lot but then again I dumped a ton of moola into it last winter.

Cant wait to get her out this spring and get everything ironed out and get some new bests!

What y'all got planned for over the winter???

I"M surprised to hear that you miss the 1-2 shift..... i have a tendency to miss the 2-3 shift, hitting right in between 1 and 3.... but i don't think that's all that uncommon with these transmissions.

Yes I bought directly from them and they made me a descent deal.

LOL.....yeah I dont know what it is with the Vettes but ive always been good on the 2-3 with them but had trouble from time to time with the 1-2.

The tough shift on the Mustangs ive ever owned has always been 2-3 for me......who knows, maybe its just me?

Are you the one I see running around Carnegie/Bridgeville from time to time? Looks like a '13 front end with HID fogs and maybe a tinted windshield?

I've seen that car a handful of times around here but never when I was in my car I don't think...

Have you checked out the Bosch injectors? I run the 105s without a single hiccup, no tuning issues, and idles/drives like stock. Making 725rwhp on corn with them. Not maxed out at all...

Thanks I'll check it out

Yeah that's me, I think I've seen your cobra before. Thing looks/sounds awesome. I will look into the Bosch injectors as well, thanks

Humm.... Spring will call for my yearly oil change and then just drive it.

[Terminated]

Need to get the IRS freshened up on mine at some point. Depending on funds, wheels and suspension.

[cwh19]

I just scrapped the shell of my 94 a few weeks ago.

My winter plans include down payment savings for something from the US with a v10 or something from Europe.

[Mark Aubele]

Long tubes and 3" x installed (what a pain), AED tune done. 3" custom exhaust from the x-pipe back on the way. Suspension next.

[03 OW SVT]

I'm hoping to put new wheels on. Hook my N2O back up. Fix my boost gauge. Install an X pipe that's been sitting around for months.

[thedak]

I'm thinking I'll swing by Starbucks for a Gold Coast Pour Over.

Then head to the track, run some 10s then head to work.

How does it sound Mark?? Did you keep the cats?

Sounds terrible with the stock mufflers. Have a custom 3" from the X-pipe back on the way. No cats.

What kind of wheels did you get Kevin?
