Title: Vargs Mustang Project Post by: Varg on July 21, 2009, 01:09:08 AM I am going to detail this project in a thread here to annoy JT.
This is a 2000 model Mustang GT convertable. When i bought it used it was bone stock. Still has factory stereo, exhaust, intake etc. Has detailed maintance records, still has excellent compression. responds well. The only thing I have done so far is add a MAC cold air intake. My short term plans are as follow: 1- Exhaust. Leaning on Magnaflow over everything else. They seem to have a good muscle tone without sounding like glass packs. In a ideal world I would get a borla system but its just too expensive. 2- Ebiach Springs (pro kit) 3- Steeda underdrive pulleys (have the dampner built into the crank pulley as for more betterness) 4- MAYBE a set of cobra wheels, not really sure what i want on wheels yet. Will see how the stock gt 17s look once i lower it with the springs 5- Hurst short throw shifter. Later: 6- New Trick Flow Twister Wedge heads 7- Mild cam 8- 3.73 gears 9- Kenn Belle Supercharger with mild boost. I am not sure I will do this with stock internals, may get a rebuild done first. These pictures were taken with a crappy camera. There were taken just after i bought it (no cai). I need an SLR damnit.

Might consider a cooler thermostat and/or a underdrive pulley for your alternator to prevent cooling/charging problems. Good looking car though. I take a lot of flack for my Miata, so it feels good to dish a little back out.

Title: Re: Vargs Mustang Project Post by: Redbear8 on July 21, 2009, 01:23:18 PM I smell a boycott of the Erin Andrews thread. Nice ride Varg. I should have been doing the same thing with my jeep and started out doing it. It turned out to be more of a hassle to take pictures while working on it than just working on it.

I'm tricking out my taurus the same way! Twinkies!
Edit: by "tricking out" I mean "just trying to keep it running" and by "same way" I mean "not the same way at all". You know what you need? A wench on the front. Every damn car needs a wench. Rand you got a jeep where's your wench???? Title: Re: Vargs Mustang Project Post by: Ramseyer on July 23, 2009, 04:07:39 AM Psch, thats nothing, I've been tricking out my sweet ride for the past year. Here's a list of my improvements:
New rear fuel pump, drastically improves starting performance, went from starting half the time to starting all the time! Rebuilt transmission, now including OVERDRIVE!! New Transfer case, holy crap now I have reverse!! Cosmetics, put the driver side window back on the track for that easy glide up and down motion |
