Well I always wanted to be able to make a build thread and starting it from bone stock.
The Car:
2013 Mustang GT Base (Deep Impact Blue)- A6
-Recaro Cloth Seat option
-Ford SYNC
-Backup Sensors
The History:
This car replaced my totaled 2005 Mustang GT Base- Manual with a Whipple SC and bolt-ons (525rwhp/490rwtq). Car was totaled in a unfortunate 40 car pile up (no my fault). I took some time and opportunity to pay off a lot of debt, then search for the coyote that I really wanted. I didnt settle. I chose this car because I wanted a Deep Impact Blue Mustang with cloth recaros and the strong A6
Old Car:
The Plan/Goal:
A clean and very streetable 600rwhp car. I like to see a VMP TVS sitting on top of the 5.0 at some point. But right now, I start with the basics and move on up. This will not be a track car, however it may run down the quarter and road course just to monitor progress and for fun. This will be a full weight car and hopefully upgraded audio (never done it, but sounds fun). This won't be a audio car either. The point is to have a car thats a jack of all trades, master of none. I want this car to be street gem. I have a long way to go and I'm not a rich guy, so this thread will be a section at a time. I will update with each upgrade and post on the progress. Also, I'm going to attempt to do all labor myself, minus the billet oil pump gear I want installed later and paint work.
The Parts:
Today is the start of this project. I have had this car for a few months now and decided it shall be stock no more. This is what has been bought and/or awaiting shipping.
Suspension (Thank you Kelly @ BMR Fabrication)
-BMR Springs
-BMR Poly Bushing on-car adjustable Panhard Bar
-BMR LCA Relocation Brackets
-Koni STR.T Shocks and Struts
Exhaust (Thank you Chris @ White Bear Ford)
-GT500 quad tip exhaust (13-14) with valance panel
Wheels
-Steeda 20' Spyders (20x11, 20x9.5)
The plan is to get these wheels powdercoated Gloss Bronze where they are Black and keep the polished lip. These wheels were recovered unharmed from the Old Car.
