Tahiti
Hi everyone,

My name is Xavier, I'm from Tahiti. I am a mechanical engineer, I've studyed in France, and I'm building, repairing, breaking (lol), and modifying engines since the age of 10 (lots of jet skis done, turbo, N/A or superchared, bikes, ATVs, cars, etc...). I bought my first Mustang last year. It is a 2007 GT, with 78,000 miles on it. Since then, I've been working on it every month, and maybe will post a complete thread of this build :)

When I bought it, there was already a K&N cold air intake and some exhaust mod on it (non cat pipes, x-pipe, axleback mufflers). Since then, I've done/installed :
- MSD blaster coil and new spark plugs
- SCTX4 Tuner
- Barton short shifter
- 4.10 gears and traction Lok differential
- 20" AM wheels with 305-35R20 Mickey Thomson tires rear and 255-35R20 front
- Headlights, rearlights, grille, mirrors, front and rear spoiler, etc...
- Complete paintjob

I have mostly worked on transmission and exterior/styling (which is the complete oposit of what I normally do...), but for next year, I am already planning on starting an N/A or S/C engine build (build list is almost done).

So thank you guys for your welcome on this forum, and wish you all the best :)
