Default Stage 3 Saleen S/C from Brenspeed arriving today!!!

Finally, almost 3 years to the day I bought my Stang, the kit has been ordered and coming today. I can't wait to put this bad boy in, it'll be like a whole new car. I just wanted to build up a little bit, so I saved some money and with last years tax return I dropped $1k into a whole new rear suspension set up from BMR. Just really need to get some more meat in the back now, tax return wasn't as much as I had hoped this year, but it was ok...wait another year for the S/C and get the tires with it, or just feather pedal with the S/C till I get some more cash to get the tires. Which would you choose? lol.

I'll try to post pics whenever I do the install. A friend of mine is gonna help me put it in.

make sure you help the UPS driver. The S/C box was so heavy, i saw the driver tumbling the box, end over end, trying to get it up my driveway. I was like WTF!?!?!?

Congrats on the purchase and your friend's help will come in handy when putting the SC in place. I installed mine myself from start to finish and that was the one area that assistance would be nice due to the weight.

Congrats on getting blown. I'm looking forward to suspension mods with my tax return and possibly a few cosmetics, I also got some bills I need to pay off! I'll probably use my Obama money for gears or either CAI + Tune from Brenspeed!

Man, that thing was heavy to bring in. So it's here and awaiting install. My wife just had surgery so I gotta wait a bit to install it cause I'm helping her around the house. I can't wait to install this thing though.

LOL WTF!?

They usually have dollys for carrying heavy stuff.

But I've had so many packages destroyed by UPS is doesn't surprise me much. I ordered some things a while back and the box looked like they were playing soccer with it.

He had the S/C on the dolly...then took it off the dolly and started rolling it! I laugh about it now, but was pretty pissed when it happened. Not to mention the box was shipped on its side, so all the oil was drained AND they broke the Boost bypass thingie on the side.
