Update: I've got a set of SVE drift's headed this way. These will go on this weekend so I can look at it see what else I want to put on it.

For the engine mods I'm still hung between a set of GT500 axlebacks and an Airraid CAI or a Roush setup, both seem to be around the same price for the set's. Right now I don't want to do a tune due to warranty.

I've got a new buffer coming in so I can give it a good polish and wax.

If you buy the ford racing programmer and have a ford dealer install the tune it should keep your warranty intact.

Been thinking about that. I've read where there is some pinging and such happening. Anyone run that tune on an auto?

The wheels are on. Makes the car look so much better, I'll get pics up this evening. It makes the car drive a bit different, cant really explain it, but it's like the back end has more body roll now. Not sure if its that these tires grip more making the suspension work more or wether I'm just nuts. I'm thinking now that the back end needs lowered. the front seems low enough for these country roads, not sure what to do.

Next up exaust and CAI.

Got the Roush CAI and Axlebacks installed over the weekend. Wow what a difference, I'm not sure if it really gained much power but it seems like a different car now.

Only the wife thinks its too loud now I told her to turn the radio up and let the haters hate
