Here is a video comparison of the exhaust. It's hard to tell on here but the MBRP has a deeper tone and sounds better.

[Frankyy]

those springs are very good, I purchased the same for my 240sx, didn't even notice a difference in the smoothness, it's the same when mine got droped was a 1.8 inch drop the handling is soo much better

and on video you can't tell the difference in sound cause the camera can't realy capture the low rumbling sounds but it sur emade a difference thats for sure

[PDP]

ok i'll watch

[4G64T]

I used the same springs in my old ZX, fantastic value and great ride

[Tim]

ok i'll watch

But no touching... :laugh:

[Tim]

I used the same springs in my old ZX, fantastic value and great ride

I used those springs in my Mazda and loved them.

[4G64T]

You should boost this beast, 3 piece wheels, 315 width rubber mmmmmmm super stang :thsmokin:

[Tim]

I might look into some kind of boost next winter. For wheels I decided on 275 for the rear and 255 on the front with 18x10 rear and 18X9 front.

[Frankyy]

boost? why not supercharged?

[jza]

so did the cloth skin just go over the leather or you had to remove the leather skin ?? wow i would of kept the leather.

[Tim]

I had to remove to leather... I just never liked leather...

[leg0man]

How come you went with the Tokicos separately instead of the full Eibach springs + shocks kit?

[cobra_mike]

great call doing suspension FIRST.

kudos...

[PDP]

full coils ftw i told him still will be a nice ride setup though

keep thread going i like it

[jza]

man bring back the leather, those clothes look downgraded are date back to the early 90s!

Get an aftermarket seat warming kit instead.

Did you just order the cloth from Ford? I know for my truck I can swap the covers to leathers, how much did you pay for your cloths?

[PDP]

more then you can afford pal!!!!! 50% polyester!

The warmth of the seat has nothing to do with it.... It's a personal thing. I hate sitting on leather and also find it looks cheap but thats just me. The covers are from a 2008GT. They were removed from new for a Roush make over. I got them off Ebay for $200. Bit of a pain to install but worth it to me.

As for the suspension.... I went this route because I'd rather put money into engine upgrades right now. I just figured I was lowering it anyways so I may as well replace the shacks at the same time. Once I get everything else down if I feel the suspension could be better I will look into it then.

Nice! Looks really good now. I like how you blacked out the reflectors as well. IMO the leather was a lot nicer. But then again I don't think leather seats look cheap... lol, vinyl on the other hand...

I have seen some leather seats I don't mind... But I think you just nailed it... They were real leather but they had a plastic look to them.....

Oh and thanks!

[Jdc]

I know what you mean. Some leather does look pretty weak... and you upgraded the sig!!! Good job capeetain

[chlorinegenepool]

hows the ride on that setup?

[Tim]

hows the ride on that setup?

I only took it for a short ride... I will take it out tonight for a better one. It was similar to when I changed the ones in my Mazda. Stiffer,,,, steering is more responsive, and definitely feel the road more....

I was going to say with the new stance, it looks torquey, lol. Im sure it added 20lbs/ft somehow (you will make up something that sounds good, no worries ha.):thsmokin:

The new spring rate has allowed the tires to stay planted thus allowing higher multiplication.... Ah fuck it.....

Lol :banghead:

[03DSG-GT]

So when are you gonna get Rims?

[Tim]

Well I am putting it away for winter soon so no point right now. But in the spring I am going with these rims and Nitto tires. 275 in the back and 255 in the front. The rims are 18'.

[03DSG-GT]

So when are you gonna get Rims?

Ya, they are close to what I have, I have the FR500 315's in the back 275's in the front

Prolly gonna sell them in the spring to get 18's also

[Tim]

The FR500's were in my top 3 choices. I just like that these are similar but less "bulky" for lack of a better term.

[Tim]

what was wrong with your original carpet?

Nothing... just want a black one to go with the seats and if I can find a nice donor car I would like to change the trim pieces to black to.

sweet project you have going. GL!

Over winter I am going to call a few scrap yards to see what they have and also get all the part numbers and see what it would cost new. I may just go new if it's not to much.

[The Grey Area]

Not much for sound deadaning in those. I woulda thought there was more

[Tim]

I am thinking of installing some sound deadening while the carpet is out.

[jza]

but what about your weight to power ratio!!!

[awndray]

I am thinking of installing some sound deadening while the carpet is out.

So much for making it go fast.

[Tim]

but what about your weight to power ratio!!!

Yeah I suppose. I forget what a roll weighs. I don;t really need it so maybe I will pass.

[Tim]

So much for making it go fast.

My end goal isn't to have the fastest car out there. I just ordered the cold air intake, headers and x-pipe and tuner.

[awndray]

While this may be true, I was simply pointing to the fact that you originally stated you want to make it go fast.

I am sure lapping is fun and I may try it but I don;t plan on setting my car up for it. I want it to look good and go fast (I mean as fast as a slow mustang can go)
Adding weight, won't help your cause.

[Tim]

While this may be true, I was simply pointing to the fact that you originally stated you want to make it go fast.

Adding weight, won't help your cause.

I do want to make it faster for sure but I am not trying to "beat" anyone. I want it to look good as well as have decent performance. Exterior "look" wise I only plan on installing a Roush 3 piece spoiler and rims/tires. Interior I am changing the carpet and radio. The rest I will concentrate on performance upgrades. I know it becomes addicting and by next winter I will probably want more so I may look into boosting it. If I am happy with what I have already done I will start looking at brake upgrades and other things.

[blackfoot]

the guys at kanata ford should have a couple used black carpets laying around.

hit them up they were removed from their race cars

Yeah I know. Just a personal preference. I just don't like leather.

[97coupecivic]

good point, just thought I saw it outside thats why I was asking. What's next then?

[Tim]

Yeah the before pics were from last month. I am picking up BBK headers from Mike tomorrow. Probably throw them in this weekend.

[Tim]

Picked these up this morning from Mike. I won't say Mike from where as I am told supporting a "non vendor" is frowned upon....

Well then I won't tell anyone I am getting my Type R emblems from them.

[extremeline]

I find it funny that after almost a year JZA you still ride the Extremeline bash. For those of you who think it flopped....well...it did and it didnt. I quickly realized that I could only make about 20-25k of all the little rice rockets in Ottawa and then it would all be over. I started the store with 5k of product and left with almost 30k in total sales over 3 months. I also got the sign and printing business from next door and I bought a new car. I would just like to thank all those who bashed me all the way to the bank. 3 months of sitting around keeping my own hours and selling parts from china was worth it. I also enjoyed Trackwerks buying what was left of my product for a price they thought was good so they could pass it off to you guys as quality products....

Leave this business to the big boys Josh.....

If anyone needs some printing or signage let me know buhahahahahahahah

[Tim]

I really do get the whole shorty/long tube deal. But when you look at the difference in gains between the 2 and the cost to me it just was not worth it. At the absolute most I will be supercharging it and been assured that these are just fine for that.

Always off when you start the car?

[chriscivic]

defaults off.................

[Tim]

Always off when you start the car?

Basically when the ignition is turned to "start" it sends a signal to the relay which then sends a ground signal to the stock switch.

So every time the key is turned to "start" it's the same as pushing the TCS button

Looking nice!

[NoLimits]

Make sure you use the proper balancer install/removal tool, do not hammer on your balancer!!!

Whats with the intake though tim? looks like homemade pcv tubing, is it a real k&n filter or a copy?


Your gonna have a nicely improved car for a few bucks in upgrades:thsmokin:

[Tim]

I had a proper puller etc for the balancer. It does seem to be PVC pipe but is nicely finished and painted. This was one of the highest recommended intakes after quite a bit of research.

Here is some installed pictures. Programmed the tune and no issues. The engines is ALOT more responsive to the pedal now.

[xenon]

I love how you waste no time installng these mods. Good job!

[matt06]

^^^ hahaha. Seriously, I used to stockpile parts all around my house

good job, looks good and your well motivated too

[Tim]

I am one of the most impatient people you will ever meet.... If something is sitting in front of me and it can be installed.... It will...

[jza]

Please tell me you paid no more then $30 for that intake.

[Tim]

Please tell me you paid no more then $30 for that intake.

Oh please tell me why oh great one? Cause it's not all shiny and pretty? It's one of the best CAI's for this car. If however you are just trying to piss me off... FFFFFFFFFFFFFuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!!!!!!

[scottxkillyou]

no i think hes just saying that you can make one for like 30 bucks which will do the exact same thing.

[xenon]

I would take a plastic intake over chrome any day.

I had a BBK CAI on my stang before I bought a s/c kit and after a short drive I could burn myself if I touched it. More like a hot air intake. lol

[Tim]

no i think hes just saying that you can make one for like 30 bucks which will do the exact same thing.

Then maybe you guys should go into business????

[scottxkillyou]

Then maybe you guys should go into business????

whats the point? its an overcrowded market full of companies that can make them even cheaper than i can and make 100% profit off them.

[jza]

Because other pre-bent pipes arn't as good?

Tell me, how much did you pay idiot?

[Tim]

This is it all prettied up for JZA....

You're right JZA.... The rest of the world is wrong.

[scottxkillyou]

You're right JZA.... The rest of the world is wrong.

no the point is, all it is a pipe and an air filter. explain to me how that specific pipe is worth the amount you paid for it?

[Tim]

This is why.

Peak Horsepower: 288.9 (27.9hp gain)
Peak Torque: 303.5lb-ft (21.5-lb-ft gain)

Out performed C&L, K&N, BBK, MAC, AFM, and many others. Anything else?

so how is it differnt than any other aluminum or pvc pipe with the same diameter and filter on the end?

if you really want less restriction youd run with no air filter.

[Tim]

the point i was making is that you could have made an intake for way cheaper than you paid and probably got close to the same gains. i dont care what you do to your car.

[Tim]

That's not number from a box fuck wad.

Sure you could have.

Anything else?

[Tim]

Oh and I am sorry I didn't buy a pretty intake that pleases the RL peanut gallery....

[scottxkillyou]

yeah, your car is slow. now you have a reason to knot your panties.

[Tim]

what do you want me to say? i told you i dont care what you do to your car. i only added that in hopes i would get to hear you rant.

[Tim]

I have learned and adapted to the ways of the "redliner". Sorry.

[jza]

Oh ya, that's right. Your friends cousins uncle who tunes Mustangs dyno'd his car before and after installing this intake and got those phenomenal numbers.

He also dyno'd with other similar intakes and got really poor results.

Near $200 intake purchase: justified.

[Tim]

Yup.

I paid $300 more but it included the tuner.

[ArbitraryHer0]

To be honest with you, I paid something stupid for my AEM CAI for an Altima back in the day.

Hope you get results.

[Tim]

I know people seem to think that I am just buying things for the sake of buying things but I have looked into the items I am buying. I could have spent more on a nicer looking intake with lower results but why? I have been speaking with both a ford tech and Dasilva racing with regards the what I have bought and am buying.

[scottxkillyou]

again, i dont care what you do. im just giving you a hard time. im all for mods that produce numbers.

[Logan]

You have as little patients to get new toys on as I do. Just ask Mike @ No Limits...lol

[awndray]

Whosit's a doctor?

[Tim]

Not anymore.... But lets not talk about that...., hmmm k?

[scottxkillyou]

hes got little patients, so i think hes a pediatrician.

[97coupecivic]

There werent any sensors that needed to be plugged into the intake?

[Tim]

There werent any sensors that needed to be plugged into the intake?

Yes. The MAF goes in the aluminum part.

[awndray]

Not anymore.... But lets not talk about that...., hmmm k?

What, 11 pages is finally enough?

[blackfoot]

making an intake for this car isnt as easy as making one for a honda. there is a machined piece for the maf install. and there is a nipple for hte PCV pipe thats of a specific diameter and style of clip. it would be a pain in the ass to make one yourself. and by the time you get the pcv attachement nipple and the maf area machined into the intake pipe. and installing it. you would have spent more money than buying one.

[attitudecx]

Nice upgrades you've done to the stang.Really like the new black interior and the black out markers.CAI kind of look mean :thsmokin:
Keep the pics coming and have fun upgrading her.

[Tim]

Rear emblem blacked out.

Exactly how much of your rent does the government subsidize?

[Tim]

Exactly how much of your rent does the government subsidize?

Well you see it all depends... I am suppose to claim any extra income I get beyond my welfare cheque but I don't always do it. I mean the legit stuff I have to but the money I get from pimpin out my wife and drug sales I usually can get by without claiming. What I hate is the surprise visit from the social workers. DO you have any idea how much shit I have to go through to clean up my house and hide my "operation"? Not to mention find money to do some groceries so it looks like I feed my kid? Thank god for the food bank.

I remember one time I almost got burnt cause my son went to school with some mysterious bruises and the when the principal asked him about it he couldn't get his story straight like I told him to do. So I ended up with a surprise visit but the good thing was I had spent the week before in jail so there was no "stock" in the house and it was the end of the week so I was able to say I just hadn't been to the grocery store yet.

Living your life a 1/4 mile at a time aint easy but I make do.

[jza]

Is it as hard as they say to find proper employment with a criminal record?

[Tim]

Is it as hard as they say to find proper employment with a criminal record?

Not really.... I mean I have a really good job not to mention security clearance but it's the drug habit that makes it tough to get by. Good thing I have a BUNCH of bastard children I can claim to get the extra money from welfare. See? Being a babies daddy does have its perks. Speaking of perks... I mean percs.... Can anyone spare a few?

[jza]

it must have been hard to get security clearance with a criminal record.

[Tim]

it must have been hard to get security clearance with a criminal record.

Not really... It took a bit longer and I had to get finger printed... AGAIN.... but it was no big deal.

Hmmmmmm, F1 cars dont handle, IRL doesnt handle, Touring sedan's?, hell, even NASCAR can turn.

AWD is nice,beautiful neutral handeling, but boring as hell in the summer if your a donut blowing redneck like me.

[Tim]

first step to better handling is awd :sorry:

Wonderful.

[Tim]

Well since people are being asses with the comments on the sight I may as well just post here.

Tinted the tail lights, 3rd brake light, Fog lights and painted the pony in the grill. The fog lights are only a light tint.

No. The reason they are not on the car is I want the Lamin-x to cure at room temp.

[97coupecivic]

I have a feeling your car is going to look like the mustang on the first transformers movie.




































which is a good thing.

[Tim]

Thanks. I am blacking everything out. Some people like the idea and some don't.

[PDP]

I think it will be good Tim,

[NoLimits]

Should look nice and stealthy, but be carefull with tinting taillights. If you get rear ended at any point, and the other driver claims he cant see your lights properly (They are DOT numbered parts) you will be at fault if you modified them in any way.

Id go flat black on the hood to finish off the stealth look:thsmokin:

[RT/SH]

You're joking, right?

Yep, he took his taillights out and photoshopped them just for you jza!

I think it will look good Tim, I like how there isn't a high tint on all the lights, it's not overdone.

[Tim]

A little late but they're here. FRPP Hot rod cams.

funny how your car will still be slow after all those mods. Stop wasting your time and money and get a supercharger.

[The Grey Area]

It would be interesting to know how it responds to those cams

[NoLimits]

What? that doesnt even make any fucking sense, A v8 will not like better breathing from intake and exhaust and cams??? A 13sec car is slow??, A 12sec car with thousands and thousands of extra mods is that much better??

[curtis.ebear]

I think it will look good Tim, I like how there isn't a high tint on all the lights, it's not overdone.

X2. The 'smoke' is a good shade, it will look good.

[dubaholic]

The Mustang is looking good! what about your sct Tune? wont that need to be adjusted with the cams?

Dyno numbers would be nice 2!!
