Default What all are you guys doing this winter?

Havnt been on here for a LONG while now.... BUT thought I would stop in and see how everyone is doing and what everyone is up too.

This winter I havnt been able to spend to much on the car due to moving for work BUT was able to purchase a 17" racecraft wing, and AEM meth kit to up the boost on my termi engine havnt installed anything yet due to not having the car out at my new place

Also working on my suspension set up to get a better 60' then my horrible 2.45....


Horrible run last year where I lost traction. Going to try Mickey Thompson Pros this year!

I'm enjoying a decent winter finally, a fast snowmobile is just as fun as a fast mustang. Nice build by the way, maybe see you down at GLD this year. I only get down there 2-3 a year, but if I see your car, I'd love the see that swap. Congrats.

Not as often as I want BUT.... I may be moving up towards that way in the year, Girl is looking to get relocated to Milwaukee. Ill be going to Byron IL for racing a lot more, and I always make it to Rout 66 in Joliet for the nmra ihra mustang shoot out

NICE primetime! what 88 are you looking at? I went with the PT88, its an older style of turbo but makes awesome power and CHEAP as hell. And what are you doing with the car? street, strip????

Come on more people have to be modifying their mustangs!!!!!!!! lets get some more photos in here

looking at a pt 4788 t6 or a crt billet wheel 88, car is mainly for the street as i have no cage for it. I must ask why to you have an 88 on a stock 4.6 and only making 627? Why not run a 7675 make the same power and spool up faster?

As a Texan the winter just means I turn my heater on when it's 50 degrees (freezing I know). That doesn't exactly count as a mod but it's the only time I get to turn the temperature control **** towards the red.

Edit: I'll try and get some pictures posted with my heater on
