Don't worry, I don't respect what you say anyway age has nothing to do with it! Bahaha!


J/K

It's all good. I've personally seen people twice your age act half your age.

Sorry about that, I hit send before I had the whole message in.

No sir I have not. I don't own the car, my dad does, I just research extensively on modifications for it- that is my hobby.

It's a Manual Transmission 2007 Performance White GT/CS, we've had it since October 2006, it has 11,000 miles. It has full bolt on's(UDP's, CMCV's, and C&L Racer), Flowmaster American Thunder Axlebacks, an SCT X2, and 3:73's- it made 302rwhp, 315rwtq on a STD corrected DynoJet in 100 degrees and 17% humidity.

For future mods, I have planned Stg. 2 SPR Cams, Kooks LT's/H-Pipe, and the C&L Intake Manifold. My dad's especially interested in Cams/LT's

Oh wow, well you're honest, dad owns a great car (don't worry my grandpa owns a bullitt and I'm here with my v6 lol.), and I'm sure when yours comes in you're gonna have a beast cause you know your shit. REP EARNED!!!!!

Thanks, I know more about mods for the car than my dad, but then again he has a job to do. My dad had a Tungsten Grey 2006 Mustang GT before, we only had a K&N CAI and Flowmaster Super 40's. It broke down several times and the trunk caught on fire at the dealer when they were working on it, it was a true LEMON law, so we traded it in for the 2007 GT/CS we have now.

Insurance on a S197 6er would probably be too much, so I'm actually looking into saving up money to buy a 5.0 Foxbody Hatchback and putting a baer, cobra, or brembo brake kit on first and maximum motorsports suspension stuff somewhat soon afterwards, then performance mods (GT40 Intake, AFR 165CC Heads, full exhaust, and cams) after I become a more experienced driver. I talked to a guy who knows a good bit about foxbody mods, so that's how I created a list so soon.

Sorry for hijacking this thread guys, you may discuss the original topic without interruption now.

I'm 14 actually, I hope it doesn't change anything.

14?


How old is your mom?

Thats a great idea, you can turn those foxes into real beasts.

If I had to do it again, I'd either get a Centri, or build an NA car. Just easier to wring out on the street. My whippled stroker is only pushing 550rwhp, and it's a handful....very hard to be fast and smooth with it, so corners are ruined for me. *sigh*

Hmm, my Saleen powered terror corners great at 560rwhp.

 

[06Roadstarman]

At least I try to be mature compared to some people in this world. LOL

Where the hell is the fun in that?

 

[470 GT/CS]

I think more power only changes your handling capability for the worse if you use it.

And zman, I'll probably be shooting for 300rwhp out of a H/C/I full bolt on/full exhaust hatchback 5.0 fox when the build is done.

I knew there was a reason we always argued!!!

jk, nice car, though I wouldn't say it's full bolt on's till you've added LT headers (even though they're arguably more difficult to put on than a blower).

I love the old fox bodies, and I'm a road racer so I love that you'll go with MM. You'll have to post a link if/when you start that build up!

Hopefully I can start the buildup before I get a full license at 16, but we don't have space for another car right now, and especially not enough garage space to where I'd have a covered, out of the elements place to work on a fox.

And about my dad's car, ok I'll just say bolt on's, gears and mufflers for now .

 

[ROUSH1711]

14 huhh..not bad kid.
Its nice to see the young ones so interested

 

[Kaldar142]

WOW

dude, if you would have never said you were 14 i don't think anyone would of known

very mature / knowledgeable for your age, +1 to you

Don't see that much these days...

 

[NastyStang113]

14?

Now where are those pictures you said you'd post?

Thanks for the compliments, s197 technical research is a hobby I took up.

I forgot to say I've looked into suspension/drivetrain too for my dad's car. I'd like to put on a K-Member, LCA's, UCA's, SpyderShaft or Coast D/S, Tubular Radiator Support, and maybe A-Arms. But this would be over time because of the close to 2,000 dollar cost- remember we already have to spend 3,000+ (LT's/Cams/C&L Manifold) on performance mods.

If you guys are getting wheel hop I'd start with the lca's and uca.

I'll have to ask my dad about the car having wheel hop, but my mom just said she doesn't notice any(she drives the car too), so it sounds like we don't have it.

If we don't have wheel hop, I'd still like to get a K-Member, D/S, and Radiator Support for weight loss/less rotational weight.

 

[o0Dan0o]

I can guarantee you can get wheel-hop if you try, especially at the track. But it is fairly easy to avoid by adopting certain driving habits.

Wheel hop is caused by two issues. The first, and main, issue is axle wind-up. This is where, under acceleration, the axle tries to torque around (instead of turning the tires the axle rotates). This stores energy in the control arm bushings by deforming them, and when enough is stored the bushings will literally lift the axle off the ground. After the stored energy is released, the axle comes back to the ground and the process starts over. This is traction Dependant, so happens mostly at the track or hard acceleration on the street. Using control arms with stiffer bushings will largely eliminate this issues.

The other sort, which can happen without traction, is caused by our cars improper rear suspension geometry, namely the overly short upper control arm. This also has a large effect on axle wind-up, so replacing the UCA can help, though the only proper solution out there is a Griggs torque arm (very similar to the one that MM sells for the fox and SN95 chassis). MM is supposed to be coming out with one, but they've said that for several years now...

And all of that is completely OT...

Who "tries" to get wheel hop? lol. good info though.
