Default Just sharing my experience...

This forum has the best one on one talk out of every forum i have been to. Through one of the regulars here, i was given a link to the svtperformance.com forum. That place has a LOT of info on terminators. Seeing as how thats my next purchase im thankful for that link, but i wont leave the knowledge/experience of this forum. Just wanted to share...

i heard that SVTP has a lot of hard headed people as well. modular fords is pretty heavy on knowledge as well but i stick to this board, militarystangs, modular powerhouse, and the local germany forum. if i need some tech info i usually search google unless im in a bind and need a quick answer.

cant wait to see what you do with this next mustang.

well...a little update...i'm in the talks now to purchase a 03 cobra with less than 15k miles for around 22k. Already has the pulley swapped out, RAI, 100mm idler, and eibach springs. I'll have to throw in the subframe connectors, diff brace, and maybe some guages...OH, and the rims will have to get swapped out too. I dont like 18" rims on a muscle/sports car. Plus the tires just cost too much damn money. So once i get the car home and i get home ill be throwing the rims up for sale on here.

Also i never got to sell all my old GT parts either. I have a saleen bumper, green primered, never installed on the old GT either. It has the letters shaved and the screen inserts fiberglassed into the bumper, stock GT hood(black), headlights, and the stock rims w/tires. Damn im gonna have 8!! wheels and tires to get rid of when i get home...lol...gonna run a tire shop out of my garage on base. Well you guys take it easy...im trying to anyway...

Yeah. I like it over there. With all the members they have, you can go there 2-3 times a day and there's always new stuff to read. But it's not a joke, they're pretty bad over there once they decide they don't like you. I've got a few things from the marketplace there too. I haven't had a bad experience yet. Congrats on the new cobra, BTW!

well no pics of my own yet, but here is the pics in the ad. The only thing i will change out are the rims. I dont like 18" rims on a sports/muscle car.

wow, kinda crazy...those are the ones i was looking at today. Thinking about getting the saleens with 275 555r's out back and 555 in the front. I like the look of the skinny spokes. I did the black bullits last time with my black GT...they were just a little too 'fat' for me.

You could also list them on craigslist in your area.
