Bullitt #2479 Build

[GrnBullitt08]

Got an email from CJ Pony this morning saying the drag springs are on back order, but BBR came to my rescue and i had one set left. So I should be seeing the drag springs Monday. He said the they lower the car .5 in the front and .75 in the rear. So it should work out perfect.

Also pulled the H&R front springs tonight and checked my spark plugs. The plugs suprisingly looked really good. But I'm going to go ahead and replace them for a new set and regap them.

congrats man, be sure to keep us updated!

Yeah, I'll be sure to post some pics once the new springs come in.....I'm still in need a new set of wheels though now. The Fooses are sold!!!

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I'm torn between these in black...

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Or these....

 

[GrnBullitt08]

the 03-04 cobra are 17s....

the saleens are 18s...

those are SICK in black, def my favorite 18" wheel for the S197, you want them with the 99-04 offset though, right?

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I was gonna get them in the 05+ offset...is it better in the 99-04 offset?

 

[antonio1988]

idk you tell me my friend:

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Ah I see....they stick out a little further. Huh...Thats something to think about. With the 18x10 rim, they already poke out of the fender a little with the 05+ offset.

If I went with the 03-04 cobra wheels in the 17x10.5 with the 315/35/17 rear tire....it might look pretty mean.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Then I could could just throw a set of MTs on the cobra wheels for the summer and track.

Order my replacement bumper for the front of the bullitt. I picked up a C/S front bumper. Figured it would look a little better than the stock GT. Ford recieved it today and its hitting the paint booth first thing monday.

As for the wheels. I leaning towards a set of bronze wheels, maybe the SVEs from LMR. Havent decided whether im gonna go 17s or 18s yet. Leaning more towards the 17s.

Have a little issue with car since the new plugs were put in...what are you guys gapping your plugs at for blower applications?

dude I didn't even think of that, bronze wheels would look SICK with your color! That CS bumper is going to look sick too, first time I would see it in the highland green

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Yeah I'm excited about the bumper... It should look real good.

 

[GrnBullitt08]

I didn't think about bronze wheels either Jeff brought it up

 

[BSell]

Agree bronze would make a different and interesting combo.

Just keep the rubber in the wheel wells where it belongs. Having to drive slow to stop the tires from crashing the body is so embarassing! Plus it annoys the hell out of those behind you...

C/S bumper is gonna look sick and go 18's! Just put a nice DR on the rear and you'll be good to go. The NT05R is supposedly pretty bad ass and they come in a 285/40/18...

I always hear .032" is ideal.

Are you running an aftermarket clutch yet? Driveshaft?

 

[GrnBullitt08]

Nope... Still on the stock clutch and driveshaft.
