July of 14 I finally traded in the WRX for a new mustang. I have been debating on this for about 6 months now but finally pulled the trigger last night and couldn't be happier. Its been 8 years since I have DD a mustang and not a subaru so it will take some getting use to. Im sure I will be asking a lot of questions and be more active on here as well.

2014 Black GT Premium with Track Package and Recaros - 6spd Manual

The Night when I picked her up



The next morning when I woke up to look at my new beautiful ride





Glad to be back in a mustang full time!




The first thing that had to go was the quiet ass exhaust. I put on a set of MAC axle back mufflers. Made the car sounds sooooo much better.



The 4 inch tips are nice as well




A shot with my 94 GT vet





Here is where it will get fun. What currently is installed

BMR adjustable LCA's
BMR LCA relo bracket
BMR adjustable UCA
BMR double adjustable Panhard bar
BMR Panhard bar relo bracket
Airlift Performace suspension with digital V2(2.5 gallon tank and Viar 444c compressor)
Ford Racing short shifter w/2 post bracket
GT500 resonator delete OAP w/GT500 quad tip axle backs


The tank and compressor are mounted in the spare tire well so I can still have a functional trunk. The wheels are currently getting powder coated.






Updated - 3/10/15

This past weekend I got around to installing the airlift kit and the BMR stuff. I didnt get very many pictures during the install as I get too focused on parts and everything. Here are a couple shots I took of the rear that I remembered to take.

Passenger side rear:



Drivers side rear:





Test fit after the fronts were installed.



Heres a few shots after it was finished. I will get better shots when the stock wheels come off, hopefully this week.






Overall the install wasnt too bad. A buddy and I did it in a weekend in his garage with just jack stands and floor jacks. It would have been much easier with an actual lift but it wasnt terrible without one. I had a few leaks in the system that I had to track down and that was probably the most frustrating part of the whole thing. I think I still have a very small leak in the drivers front as I lost a couple of psi overnight so I will track that down in the next couple weeks probably.

Nice. Darren's head is going to explode over the dirty car, and WTF is with the Camaro? Trying to hang with the cool kids? :poke:
