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.









I tried to get "artsy" with my sony cybershot lol

With it breaking down every 100 miles this is going to be quite the feat

Wassup Vanilla Ice?!  Careful with that underdrive pulley.  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.

Yea I am going to go with a set of pulleys. Vanilla Ice drove a '92 5.0 if my MTV memories serve me correctly.

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.

It's probably because most of us work for a living and can't watch it until we get home.  Tongue

Holy Crap!! 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?Huh

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
