Crafty's 2000 mustang build. sorta
 

k well it's my sixer so i figured why not put it in here..
basically i'm parking the car now. i know it's a little early but w/e.. i have a massive nasty air vacume leak somewhere on my stock manifold, and my clutch is on it's way out, and my suspension needs to be finished for the new year. oh i forgot to add i have to prep it for nitrous:chacha:

i'll be trying to add as many pics as i can to this thread. my basic goal is to beat a certain turbo civic next year at the drags... well two actually... :(

i'll start off with current mods:

4.2L F150 swap (kept 3.8 heads. to be ported)
spec stg2 clutch
tri ax short throw
3.73 gears
steeda comp springs
and i went on a diet:LOL:

plans for '10
(keepin realistic)
windstar intake
8.8" with 3.90
180* thermostat
GT rear sway bar
c/cplates
100 shot of nitrous
05-09 mustang seats
rear seat delete
(maybe) ported heads
and some really stickey tires lol

and yet more dieting lol

so we'll see how she goes... i want to get most of it done before it gets too too cold...

Good call on the 05-09 seats. I drove to vancouver and back from calgary with no pain whatsoever. My 2002 GT Convertible seats were back breaking after 15 mins. Maybe I'm just to sensitive lol. Good luck with the plans dude.

tell me how hard the windstar intake will be to install, im thinking of doing that to the 3.9

yea no worries. i have already had a shot at it and it wasn't running really well... so that's why i'm parking it to work on it. but damn does it look cool on the sixer!!:chacha: lol the extra power wouldn't hurt either. the only thing i'm doing different is i want the intake to be fender mounted or at least clean it up a bit so we'll see how she goes..

i know.. it's not the fact that they hurt it's just that every time i sit in a newer GT the bolster is a lot better for cornering and the head rests are taller and actually get to my head :tup it's either black leather GT seats or go with corbeaus (SP?) seats that look similar.

You got yourself a nice little plan going!! :tup

Sounds like fun:tup

Sounds like a cool build. Good luck with those Civics :tup

btw.. just wondering where are you getting your kit?

thanks guys. i hope everything turns out to work for me. as for the civics.. i know i can outrun the one with just the rearend and intake. it's a 91 civic hatch.. it was really close in the first place. the other one is my friend's 07 Si... damn that thing is stupid fast. sweet looking car tho:rolleyes:

probably VAP AUTO there on the 3.8 mustang forums

ya that's where i got mine. good kit.:tup

what was the final price with everything and shipping it to Canada ?

i think it was around 400 for the 99-00 kit

UpDaTe!

so almost everything is in that i needed in order to get started on the project. only thing i'm really waiting on is my custom cam and a set of tires the stang is off to A.M. Ford on monday for a full tune up (belt, plugs, filters.. the works. (also getting the timing retarded 1* for nitrous setup))
then it's sittin in my shop for a while... :(

but here are some pic for everyone :chacha:

Attachment 20832

*wow old pic... stang still looks like a 4x4... :(

Nice, new toys to play with. Lucky guy :p

Dogs are beautiful too!

Added seats from an 06 to mine, thought you might like to see.

oh sweet deal. they seem to fit in there just right :tup good improvement over the stock buckets? my other option is trying to get the recaro cobra R's from FRPP. the part # is M-16620-C but i haven't called for price or even if they are still available... :S
btw tony.. do you still have that 7.5" tloc sitting around? if you do i wouldn't mind paying to take it off your hands. i dont feel like paying $800 for the only used IRS in the area and i'm going to wait on the 8.8"..

Cool stuff dude!!Is the Windstar intake plastic?

lol yea it is, it's the same stuff the GT intake's are made from. aparently they can take some major abuse tho. two 3.8's are either running a vortech/procharger on it. one was at 10-12psi if i remember correctly. crazy really.
i also might get my brother to make a kinda cover like the 3v 4.6's have. just to fit inbetween the runners. and i also have new BFG's coming in tomorrow too. so i might hold off on the windstar for another couple weeks. or at least till the snow comes down the vally... :(

Col!!Will be lighter,and will not heat soak as bad as the stocker.Just keep the nitrous away from it LOL!
Cool idea on the cover for the intake.

You have to use the wiring and rails from the original seats, including the seat controls at the seat front, but it is a great mod. Sorry a fellow local club member is enjoying my old 7.5.

just figured i'd throw in a weekly update. as some people know. i got my new BFG KDW's three weeks back. and last monday i got a piece of fu*kin metal through the driver's side... yay me.. so one day of waiting and $25 later it's fixed... so anyhow the stang still isnt parked (doing some final cut polishing and prep work on my winter beater.. damn i hate that car lol. so anyhow here's some pics.:bleh:
lol now this is a sick wheel combo:laughhard

Mystic Chorme Cobras are pretty sick.I wouldn't mind one myself,but if something were to ever happen to it if i were to own one.........:banghead:

well i've always seen pics of them and i was just well.. idk it was different. but seeing one in person with that blower whine... omg i fell in love :)

I think the blower whine does that to all stangers LOL!

well.............


I hate life. seriously not kidding. my girlfriend of two years left my ass on tuesday.. and then...

i'm alive.. but staying the night at the hospital..

Holy !!!!!!! Dude,so sorry to hear!!!How bad are you injured?And what happenned if you don't mind me asking?

holy S**T you ok. what happened

Damn, thats nuts. Rear ended someone I take it or mega backed in to, perhaps clipped someone going into that driveway?

Hope you are ok and pick up some nurses for us :tup

well if you look you can see the black pickup that was involved ()
according to all the witnesses, he slammed on his brakes to make the turn at the last second (no turn signal) i hit him and my car basically went under his.. all i remember was his tailgate commin up way to close. aparently (i actually dont remember it..:confused: ) i had got out of the car to check on him... and as soon as i took five steps.. i went pale and started to stumble.. so I went back to my car.. he RAN into the building near by not caring for the fact i was obviously in shock and loosing the fight to stay with it.. i had to call for my own ambulance... to my luck an off duty paramedic was getting gas across the street and saw the whole thing.. and was pretty quick to help out.. my mother was called and aparently watched them pull my ass out of the car. lol i never knew so many people could fit in my car at once... but i guess it took them 15 minutes to pull me out safely..

as for me.. staying the night or safety.. in a collar.. again... a lot of neck pain.. and some chest pain. BTW: air bags never went off... :confused::confused:

lol funny u should ask. i have two friends that want to take me out haloween night if i can go out.. one's a nurse lol the other works with my ex... both are hott blondes :tup yea i'm pretty depressed.. but my old man said that if i got rid of the tundra he'll pay the balance towards a new silverado.. so i am trying not to dwell on the past (she so aint comin back...) and try to rebuild my life. lol i'm still young. i'm sure i'll be ine. just as long as i avoid relationships for a bit :biggrin:

btw.. i'll be gettin the car back.. and parting it out.. so i'll most likely start a new thread in the for sale. if anyone want's "DIBS" if i do get it. just pm me.

Take care of yourself,and i'm glad to see your alright.
You sure you wouldn't want to add a F 150 into your life instead of a Government Motors truck.LOL!

dude just get better and don't worrie about now . . . . . . just think new stang???

lol thx guys. i'm trying not to stress out too much here.. but it's still hard. just gotta take it one day at a time :) as for the truck situation.. if i were to buy a ford again.. it'll be a lightning for sure.. dont feel too safe in lowered cars right now lol. might try to find another older mustang that runs

A Lightning would be pretty sweet.I would love to own one of the first generation Lightnings,heck even a second generation Lightning LOL!

man.. i'd love to get a lightning! 5.4L stock supercharger.... ICBC snagged my licence tho for three months... so kinda outta luck there..might just get a decent sport pickup, and then maybe a bike :D

bitches be crazy, man lol
as long as you're alright I'm sure you can get your situation under control soon enough

I have some nursing colleagues in BC or heading to BC soon! :tup

sweet deal. any clue where 'bouts?

well i figured i'd keep my build thread alive..
so here are some pics of the car A.D. lol
