The car when I first bought it 4-5 years ago - 25K on the odometer


did tint and exhaust first


eventually got some 03/04 cobra wheels


some longtube exhaust


swapped to a windstar upper intake (yes, from a minivan)


and eventually cut the springs


cleaned up the engine bay and got a strut tower brace

[SlowSix]

Ended up not being totalled (which kind of sucked actually)
Fixed up by Street Lethal


back with no stripes and a cobra front


8.8 rear end fun





home porting a lower intake


control arms

5 speed swap ! (car was originally an auto)

True story, I did this swap before I even knew how to drive a 5 speed. dumb kids

[PaxtonShelby]

I've always thought your car looked great. She must move pretty well!

thanks. She moves okay. Bit laggy. Definitely a lot faster compared to NA though.

[SlowSix]

went from cut springs to eibach prokit springs...ride is much better


this is where the fun began. Turbo goodies
MM FLSC

procharger 3 core race intercooler - got it for $80 at carlisle with a broken weld. Took it to timmy and had him tig it up, and bam.

the turbo off of tim's old blue car


new wheels

and a GT rear bumper cover



turbo headers - from TMA turbo


downpipe

injectors


MGW shifter

[SlowSix]

divX 340 lph fuel pump

slot maf and a MAFia


fuel pump fun


this pump is taller

trimming the basket

mmm corbeaus (sorry for crap pic)


finishing up that lower from earlier - IMRC delete

this was not fun

don't fill these with JB weld...it failed, lol

lower intake fun


turbo mockup

intercooler mockup


getting there - had to mess with the piping for awhile to get the foglights to fit

I hate wiring


Gauges

[SlowSix]

oil pan fun

new upr k member


old heavy junk (anyone want it?)

upr

all back together

it ran....kinda....not really


yes, my intercooler is crooked. I might fix that this year... but probably not


painted and wrapped my downpipe, plus turbo blanket



needed some new brakes, bad


powerstop junk



had tim run my downpipe back - under the K



This is the current upgrades
- microsuede seat covers, MM CC plates, and will be buying MM coilover setup here soon once I can find some bilsteins for a decent price.
May run the exhaust where the spring used to be once I do that


I have more pics of other random stuff but I tried to shorten it up.

[gmkillr]

How much boost ya running? Stock shortblock?

[sutyak]

Looks great! Same questions as gmkillr. You have some slicks or drag radials to have some fun at the track?

[SlowSix]

~10 psi. stock long block actually. only thing changed is lower/upper intakes

I do not. I don't go run often enough (although I'm there pretty often) to justfify slicks. I would like to borrow a set sometime and see what she does if I get her to hook though.
Although I may end up breaking some shit then, lol

What's your best time so far?

[SlowSix]

What's your best time so far?

Nice build.

But...

Why does your car have dicks drawn on the bottom of it?

LMAO. CWH19 was helping me out putting the tranny in, and drew that under there at some point. I cleaned it off. Damn undercoat, lol

You're welcome.

Nice. That car has come a long way. I ran 12.70s @116 in my brothers v6 with just 375whp and similar 60s. Your car should be solid low 12s with decent tires and better 60' times.

That was with a fair amount of wheel spin too.

Edit: My car made less torque. Our numbers are basically flipped. I made 375 hp/345 tq.

I've talked to your brother quite a few times about his car. I think I bought the a pillar pod and that rear bumper off of him.

I was thinking the 5 speed stuff was from me too. That shifter looks like what I had (was on a Steeda tri-ax), but I honestly don't remember who got all that stuff.

Glad to see you still rocking the 6. I miss mine occasionally. It was fun to see people's reactions.

you're right, the 5 speed stuff was from you as well. Looking back, I should have bought that g-force trans as well. oh well

the reactions are great though. Everything from "wtf is that?" to "Thats kinda cool" to "why the hell would you buy/build a v6 mustang?".
I've had people at norwin hills count the cylinders before. It is pretty hilarious

"why the hell would you buy/build a v6 mustang?"

3.8s rule, v8s drool
