so it begins finally got my car towed off this weekend to start getting the machining done, kmember, coilovers, a arms, tb, mas, injectors, cam, lifters, rr, nitrous, everything.

oh yeah i posted not to long ago i made a post about a guy who screwed up my heads. well i went and had a talk to him and got him to replace the manley valves that he screwed up but its still costing me money to put hardened seats in that were suppose to already be in there and to have the valve angle job fixed that he put all to hell.

so now i have to wait for the machine work, head work and the rotating assembly to be balanced and everything will finally start coming together I CAN'T WAIT!!!!!

i haven't drove my car since thanksgiving so i am excited

Congradulations. Now you know how I feel... I havent driven my car since February 2003

^^ Yea, tell me about it. Thats why I think Im going to trade in my 2000 Intrepid for a 99+ Stang for a DD.

man i thought i was bad off. what all have u done to it since then?

88BlueGT

I put a BBK Cai, BBk 70mm TB, EGR, MAC LT's, MAC Pro-Chamber, Flows, Pulleys, 91 MOtor w/ 32,000 Miles, Rebuilt Trans, gauges, etc. And little stuff like bushing, etc.

I ripped off by the mechanic who was doing it and he screwed everything up so about 6 months ago I totally stripped it (motor, trans, interior, fenders, hood, bumpers, doors, windows, etc.) and now Im trying to put everything back together. I just got everything for my GT to LX conversion, I ordered a D&D tubular K member a couple months ago, and got a full black interior for it, along with new doors, quarters, fenders, bumpers, etc.

I was going to do a 418W, C4, AFR 225's, 9' rear, full D&D suspension etc. and keep my 2000 Intrepid as a DD but now Im debating selling the Intrepid for a 99+ Stang and just building the 88 lightly (331 stroker, 185's, lentech AOD, full suspension, keep the 8.8 rear, etc.). What would you rather do?

Congrats! and I feel your pain about not driving your car, I have not driven mine since before christmas and I am aching to drive my car since the weather is great here in California, tomorrow I have an appoinment with swansonperformance for a tune and some other quirks that my car has. Congrats!

personally i would do the 418 just cause there isn't very many of them and u know just like i know if u got another stang u would want to modify it a lil bit here and there and it would just take money away from ur real project and then u might have a car payment as well. so i would just keep the intrepid especially if u don't have a car payment and it runs good.

^^ Yea I know, I am already looking into 4.6 performance parts lol It would definitly be impossible to keep it stock. I would be like ok just a cat back, ok just headers, ok just an intake, ok just a chip, ok just a programmer, ok just a blower lol and than it would never end and I would put no money into the fox. Im just so tired of being obsessed with Mustangs and not being able to drive one!

w8less

how much more do u like to being able to drive it.

say i have an advantage over u i get to drive a mustang whenver i want albeit a v6 but its still a mustang and a sn95 to boot. its my gf's so its just luck hahaha
