and.. I'm done

bucky · 06-04-2005, 08:18 PM

I think I am done modding for the year. thininking about a supercharger next spring. Here is what I added since June of last year, when I first got my car.

motive 3.90 gears
diablosport predator
k & n cai
accufab 70mm throttle body
accufab upper intake plenum
bullit suspension kit
steeda underdrive pulleys
subframe connectors
refelctive "mustang" rear bumper stickers
mach 1 chin spoiler
mach 1 rims ( so easy to clean )
interior bezel cup holder rings
nice mustang floor mats
steeda cat back
mac catted h

thats a good chunk of change.. now i got nine or so months til i pay it off and start all over.

car sits from oct til mid march.

future plans include:

a supercharger (probably will start asking all kinds of annoying questions about superchargers around november.. fair warning)
possible bottom side stripes
tinted windows

anyone else think they are done?
when did you realize it?

MachGT · 06-04-2005, 09:02 PM

i dont understand how you fools manage to do all these mods!
I have been working as a web developer making salary money for the past year and I can't afford to do anything on my mustang. maybe it's because my wife isn't bringing in money right now, but oh well,... frustrating

I'm currently drooling over a supercharger (Kenne Bell twin screw) myself. My 02 convt has very similar list of mods as yours. Be advised that, depending on sc you choose, and whether you also change out cams and port your heads, your rear gear selection may need revisiting. I'm told that gearing in the 3.53 - 3.73 range is best for supercharged mustangs. Others that actually own superchargers can chime in on this...

I'm a single engineer. It leaves a bit of spending money, granted, now my student loans are starting to be paid off so I'll have to slow down. Also gotta pay my credit card bill now..... that will take a while.

How was the change from stock gears to 3.90's??

bucky · 06-12-2005, 02:46 PM

feels like you add a ton of hp. (even though none is actually added) really woke the car up, and the acceleration.

When you bought the 3.90's I hear they don't come with the shims or installation parts...what else did you have to have to buy before the install?
Also, is there any gear whine? Do you regret not going with the 4.10?

bucky · 06-12-2005, 04:02 PM

i bought everything here at mustangtuning, and when i ordered it has the option of getting the shims and stuff, so i did it.

no gear whine what so ever!

and no regrets at all. :icon_thum

MineralGT · 06-12-2005, 04:06 PM

Is that the same as the installation kit or the master bearing kit?
I'll probably get the 3.90's, I want the 4.10's but I do a hell of a lot of driving on the freeway. I'll be placing my order very soon so I want everything so I can get them installed. I hate looking at a part outside of my car!!

bucky · 06-12-2005, 04:09 PM

yeah, i ordered all of it at once. my car had 60k miles on it when i bought them, so reusing any of the old stuff would have been not good.

MineralGT · 06-12-2005, 04:14 PM

Did you get the installation kit or does the master bearing kit come with that and more, cause the Ford gears come with the installation kit for 189.00.
I only have 25,000 miles on my car.

MattJ · 06-12-2005, 04:20 PM

I dont even want to look at my car right now. It took me 2 hours to fix my passanger side fog light that wasnt on correctly. My shoulders and neck are sore, arms are all cut up, and i almost threw my phone about 100 yards but i stopped myself.
Im done too...

danbc21 · 06-12-2005, 05:20 PM

You can never be done

*venom* · 06-12-2005, 11:17 PM

It will never be over, you will just end up getting another one to hook up.

*4.6 Love* · 06-13-2005, 11:41 AM

Unfortunately, it never ends!
