  1. heheh i hear ya, if you like get sound deadening material and finish your interior, also i would go ahead and replace and upgrade the front and rear suspension i think spending a couple $$$ should make that problem go away.
  2. could be a typo but here are the specs of the car: http://speedhunters.com/archive/2011/12/06/car-feature-gt-gt-this-is-the-rtr-x.aspx I think its a superb build, Hopefully one day i can do the same thing.
  3. the early 80 mustangs 302'a were weak especially the transmission, get a t5 from 91+ the tq rating was better i believe in those years, you can also rebuild any t5 to a t5z spec.
  4. maier has different size whale tales, you can see one of their wings on the needforspeed 69 drift car fitted with the 2011 5.0. Im sure if you talk to them, they can make something for you to fit your coupe.
  5. yeah thats the guy, he says his 8 can withstand the power putting out, so i don't plan on going any faster. my 392w was dyno'd at 450+hp from fps so what I think I'm expecting at least low 400's rwhp so thats good enough for me. I don't plan on drag racing, maybe auto x and some road racing but it will rarely see the track.
  6. i know who you are referring too, he is knowledgable person. I might go with him. Im putting up almost the same hp/tq rating as you.
  7. love the gauges! can't wait to see them installed.
  8. never mind I had to read the name closely they are New Gen Wheels Im assuming for the price is Each wheel correct? lol http://driverzinc.com/category/wheels/newgen/
  9. thank you for the link I've been looking for something like this.
  10. most c4's are pretty much the same its matter of how you are going to rebuild it. most every transmission shop can rebuild them to your specs. I got my "street fighter" c4 from performance automatic a few years back no complaints just plug and play lol :) but later on i hope to switch to a 5 speed. but since your replacing the auto why not convert to a 5 speed? you would probably be spending the same amount (if you fish out the parts yourself) if you tend to keep your 351w stock with some mild mods i suggest get a 91-93 t5 or get a t5z from ford. this will place your rpms very low and save some gas mpg at the same time or if you wanna still stick with auto you can go AOD.
  11. should be light as fiberglass, from the look of his pics it looks like its very good quality product.
  12. couple hundred bucks more but its 4 piston. its the KH brakes. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/?cmd=ViewItem&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649&item=370456581472&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWAX%3AIT#ht_2153wt_941
  13. let us know how it goes im thinking of ordering a rear bumper or side view mirrors from them.
  14. this was the first mod i've ever done when i got my hands on my car, good conversion saved me a couple of times when i was young and reckless. Now i got a new motor with some mods so I had to upgrade to vintage venoms brake conversion kit, I haven't installed them yet but looking forward to difference of braking power. The Granada swap is very good.
  15. yeah i check on demand but they only have episode 1.. seems most of these rides where fast and furious inspired...lol
  16. is there a clip of it? damn i missed it! lol
  17. debating either to go with black or anthracite wheels
  18. Driver side finally blocked Engine Compartment is next they are going to clean up the welds and close the holes in the towers.
  19. so this weekend i was bored and bought my self a rotary tool from Harbor freight and started to cut and chop up the diecast cars i had laying around. the victims, 1969 shelby vert 70' Cougar 69 mach 1 started cutting and ALOT OF GRINDING and mocking up and bam, Still rough but going to use JB weld to meld these guys together lol. Yeah..i know the mets..ewwwww lol but it was the cheapest one i found on ebay. lol
  20. oh new scoops fitted. :) X-mas Arrived early! yay!!!! bought me a pair of LED tail Lights brand new for under $100 bucks, they seem to be good quality ill be taking pictures hopefully when they light up. :) if this is an awesome build to u then Teaser Shots..ford 392w at least mid 400hp but expecting to get at least mid 300's rwhp which is good to me. Heart lung Oil Pan and new brake system that I just got! 04 cobra calipers/rotors :) once everything is on im going to sell alot of extra parts....like the granada swap, and maybe the 8 rear end housing and wheels.
  21. Went to Maier Racing to buy some shelby scoops and Maier gave me a grand tour of his shop here are some pictures of the cars aswell he showed me the new 69-70 front chin spoiler. you can see where the valance meets the spoiler has more curve to make the are air move more quickly. he is always making different sizes race/street etc.. he also should me the new rear spoilers that he just came out with which are pretty cool.
  22. So i know i've been on here a while and some how i never posted up my build lol. Currently Its in the body shop and thanks to the help of cphsonic things are coming along nicely. the look im going for picture this car all silver w/ All black fr500s 18x9/10 the car will be taken for auto-x from time to time. 4years i havent' driven the car and finally the car is almost complete send it to the shop a while back and so far the structure of the car seems good. So they took the car apart and they are going to start sanding the body to bare metal. here are some pictures.
  23. I bought the shelby template off of them. they are great to deal with.
  24. Wow that's a bad horror story... I've only used them once never had a problem. Was this the same person you spoke with The whole time when u first placed the order? Did u speak with a supervisor? You coudlve gotten a radiator at ur local parts store. It's better to deal locally then go back and fourth over the phone its a headache. Try mustangsplus I had nothing but good experiences with them.
