Air bag

Matt, what did you do to address the idiot light for the air bags/seat senors, and what waist size are those seats? Thanks Car looks great, of course I am partial to the color!

Seats

Matt, never mind to the question about waist size, I found the dimensions. But looking at your pics, it looks like there is no room at the seat level and center console, do you think the wides will fit. I am built like a gorilla and need the extra room. Thanks

I run a sparco evo 2 which is a "big" seat and it fits perfect

The fx1 wides will not fit because the shoulder width also gets increased by 1" and will hit the door pannel.
Right now I have min clearance where the shoulder are almist touches the door pannel.... I figured this out one day for a customer

what do you need to know sir?

 

[1fastpony]

Well... I was looking at the Haynes manual and it looks like just a removal of the headlight assembly for the straight through real cold air intake. Got any advise?

My other CAI on the truck shows just about the same temp as ambient when driving at hwy speed. The mustang is around 10 deg above untill you get really cold weather, say 40F or less.

Hey Matt, what did you do about the air bag?....Is it hard to get it out, and put an aftermarket wheel on?

 

[ArizonaGT]

BUMP. Tell me more about your FRPP intake. Got any dyno graphs before/after it was installed???????????????????

The blue one? That was a project we did at a indoor car show for a customer. lol... My dad and I both have our own street cars so we did'nt want another one. We did 5 or 6 complete cervinis cars but they wern't offical or anything but all of them were wild rides

This thread is epic!

Just read all 15 - pages! Glad to see I've made some of the same choices as Matt! Although I'm hoping for 12s my next time out

Until I get a second car - I can't put my mustang on THAT hardcore of a diet. Crazy!

Hey quick question, i looked at your signature and had some curiosity. First, when you ran a 13.8@102mph you said stock, does that mean, stock suspension, stock gears, stock tires? all that? No shedding weight, nothing.

I also see 300rwhp/320rwtq from just intake + tune?? Was this on a dynojet, or mustang dyno and was it SAE corrected?

13.8@102 was 99% stock - only mod that might have helped was an older set of the MM LCAs. They were the aluminum road race style ones, so I don't even know if they were better than stock or not. That was the ONLY mod. Stock tires, stock suspension, stock gears (3.55s). I removed my 12" Sub and fiberglass box, but that would bring it back down to stock weight anyway - so no real weight loss on that either.

300/320 was from all the mods in my sig - Intake, Tune, Electric H20 Pump, 4.10s. All of these were done at one time, so I'm not sure how much power they gave individually. This was on a Dynojet, and I believe it was SAE corrected as well. Racers Edge Tuning (RET) here in SoCal did the tuning and the gear install.
