At first I was planning the whole shebang- whatever I could fit under the hood.....after I hit 85k, I just decided that the balt is good the way it is. Got a few things done but it is nothing but a decent looking daily driver, and a dependable car while I continue to try and keep my Mustang on the road, and eventually Im going to get a restoration project to work on. Like a 60's or 70's Vette
thats my 2 cents
thats my 2 cents
This year is show.
right now I'm just getting tires, windshield, ss/tc front struts, Koni rear shocks, powdercoated valve cover and MO registration...
later this year will be RKSport lip kit and 2.4 IM and new tune.
That should be the whole year... next year will be go... SC.

This year I am aimed at finishing my suspension, interior, and a few exterior visual mods. By mid next year I should have my SC setup and by the end of next year I plan on building my spare engine and twin charging it with an M62 and a CT-26 remote mount setup. My goal is a ~450hp car that can still pull 1G on the skid pad using Hankook RS3's.

Piecing together suspension right now with ss/sc springs, FE5 front bar, and the OTTP street rear bar. Kinda wanna go sc for price and ease of install but turbo would be more efficient and easier to upgrade down the road

I'm not set on anything...I keep changing my mind. I don't want a ton of power, I just want something that's more fun down the road. I'm probably going to go SC in the long run. Probably won't go any smaller than a 3.0" or 2.9" pulley, a few bolt-ons (aftermarket intake and exhaust), just looking to hit the 200-220whp mark.
I've already got a Pacesetter header w/ Exhaust Depot DP which are for the LSJ...so since I've spent some money to go that direction, I think I'll continue.
I want to finish my suspension first (have to get an FE5 front sway bar, SS/TC struts and shocks or Koni's if I feel like spending 2 times as much, maybe some different springs...Pro Kit or Pedders). After the suspension is done and I get my exhaust setup installed, I'm getting a tune for gas mileage. Once the car is paid off, that's when I'll go for the SC setup.
I just got a 2nd job to go with my day job so our bills will be paid for in a year at most. Once I get us caught up on everything all the money from my second job is mine...which means car will be paid and SC'ed then I'll wind up with a Saturn Sky RL because I'll want something that's turbo.
