Default RE: What's Your Mod List (See what others are doing)

Well, I bought the car with the CIS intake...

Just ordered the SCT programer for my car, should have it friday.

Machine my self some under drive pullys

In the future I want to build up a 4.2L + (See if anyone makes a crank and rod set up that can help me reach 5L...) (that would be so cool, 5L V6...)

Build up the top end Heads/ Intake manfold

A super charger and N2O...

Strengthen the frame/ rest of the drive train

Then MAKE a carbon fiber trunk lid and hood.

Sun roof could be nice too.

Suspention and side pipes (no H pipe)

Paint it blue with white or silver stripe/s and NO body kit/ plastic crap, NO stupid lights... If it doesent make the car faster or handle better, not happening.

All go NO show!

Default RE: What's Your Mod List (See what others are doing)

Well, I have my XCalibrator 2 for my 97 basicley stock Mustang.

If you can afford the $400ish for it its GREAT.

Right now I have it on: 91 octane, fuel econmey, 14% more fuel on open throttle? and 30%? shift pressure.

Right now its on fuel econmey because I do lots of highway driving and everything eltse is for wen I nail it. From a stand still it feels much better then it did at the track when I took it (going again Aug 11, will have slips) the car now pulls like a raped ape when it shifts (love it).

Oh,I left the limiter on and shift points stock as well. I need to see some stock duno charts on a V6 Stang beforeI play with the shift points.

Ether way I LOVE IT.

next may be a little juice or a built up 4.2L... Pending whatvehicleI decide to drive when I move

Regrets

1st and foremost... Purchased Xenon GT rear fascia. When I took it out to the body shop to be painted/installed the dude noticed it was missing holes/housing for the rear side turn signals which are required by law in VA.

Even though California Mustang failed to mention that it was not street legal in some states and the photo on the site was iffy they refused to pay for shipping/packaging (I destroyed the box out of excitement)....... great I have an RMA but for me it would cost close to 200 dolla for the custom box/shipping to the other side of the US. Bumper itself was approx 350 not worth it so plan to sell on ebay or something in hopes someone able to use will buy.

I now have 3 bumpers... stock, unknown aftermarket, and xenon... lol? Thanks cal mustang and xenon.



2. Apparently I don't know my own strength. I busted off one of the studs on the tru-bilet fuel door. Thank god not only are they mailing me a new stud but it is secure enough as is minus half a stud.



3. When I put on my honeycomb tail light panel I lost my grip enough that it is alligned to far to the left. Once it made contact that was it... not moving. And ofcourse I had forgotten to moisten up the surface first to leave a little more room for error. I spent hours til night fall trying to move it thatmilimeter up/right (from back) using various tools including back side of my hammer, pliers, etc. Meanwhile as the hours past I got more and more POed and eventually stopped caring whether or not I scratched it or small portions of my trunk... oops.. [:@]I even soaked it and it won't budge...

Going to a body shop monday to see if they can loosen it up / sand it all down.

[blockquote]

[blockquote]
Note: Could probably blame on the lack of sleep for over 48 hours...[&o][/blockquote][/blockquote]

4.Long story short. I calledTed Britt Ford, Chantilly and spoke with a sales person whom was recommended to me. Stated I wanted some research and to sleep on it for less than a week. I walked in repeated same thing. Few moments pass and an old friend of mine popped up switching places as the sales person. With my guard gone a sales manager convinced me to walk out with a "today only" (yeah right) special and later finance convinced me get everything but lowjack.

Realized less than a week later that I could've gotten a dumbed down GT for $2K more which would leave me more room to customize. Damn...
