Hi everyone, I have always watched this site and enjoyed looking at everyone builds, technical information and comments. I am not big on posting, unless I have something to contribute that has not already been said...
My Mustangs started out as hobby/project cars, since I typically use my Companys Car for daily driving. I started out wanting to just put on a set of HRE 945r wheels on my 05 GT Legend Lime and could NEVER afford them, let alone justify the price! I found a set that were for an 08 drop head Rolls Royce or BMW and the build went on from there (should have just bought the wheels from HRE... would have been cheaper, but not as fun!).
I ended up narrowing my 8.8 by 3.5", installed a trutrak, Moser forged axles, 9" ends (C-clip eliminators) and cross drilled all rotors to have a 5X120 pattern along with the 5x114.3. Turned out great.
Then came the supercharger, more suspension mods, then a partial saleen body kit, brake upgrade, etc.
Man... these projects basically never end.
Then I started on my Wifes 08 GT. Similar story... found a set of HRE 947r from a show car in Vegas that had a boy racer kit, so it came with a narrowed rear, trutrak, etc. Brembos, suspension mods, etc.
Anyway, always lurking in the background. There sure are alot of awesome builds around here!
see you around...
Cheers,
Michael

Thanks Eric,
I know... LOL
Here are some pictures of the Car... I am actually getting ready to de-mod her and sell everything! the engine is still new and I also have a Level 10 5R55S Auto that never got installed, because I never have time anymore thanks to my job... too much travel ...
Id post the parts up on MF, but I cant anymore due to the post limit requirement. I dont post unless I can add something substantial and most guys are better than I at the technical stuff.
I am also on S197forum and my stuff is for sale over there if you know anybody that interested.
Saleen kit Saleen aluminum hoods (one with hole, one OEM New unpainted. TONS of parts that I was going to add to this build!
Enjoy!
