Project Blue Thunder

[beefcake]

Time to start a build thread I guess.

Picked my car up 12/12/09. Kona Blue Premium 401A Package.

Had the active anti theft, 19" premium wheel and 3.55 LS options.

Already have my offroad pipe and magnaflow axleback on.

Tomorrow my buddy is supposed to be throwing my 4.10's in the car. I've also picked up a set of Steeda Solid Lowers that I got a good deal on.

Other plans out of the gate will be a shifter, lowering springs, upper control arm w/ mount, adjustable pan hard bar, lower control arm relocation brackets.

Also already have my WOT box on order and should be here today or tomorrow.

As far as wheels, I am going with the TSW Jaramas in Chrome. 20x10 rear and 20x8.5 Front. I am putting nitto invos on them. 245/40/20's and 295/35/20's.

Here is a pic on a newer stang, not a 10, but you get the idea

Here are a few pics of the car cleaned up in the garage, oh yeah, already have my 15% tint on!

Sweet - I'm really liking the wheels!

Can't wait to see her done. Love the wheel choice.

Ken from Modular Depot swung by work this morning and threw a baseline tune on the car. Instantly could tell a difference. Throttle response is sooo much better and the car felt stronger for sure.

I had already been running 93 octane in anticipation of the tune.

Car is now at my buddy's place getting the 4.10 gear put in. I had Ken set the car up for the 4.10 already too, so my speedo should be right on!!!

Nice color choice

 

[Shotokan1509]

Nice, does this mean the SHO is gone or this is in addition?

 

[Konablue10Gt]

Awesome!!!

traded the SHO in at the dealership, so it's at our lot now

got the 4.10's in. perfect pattern, not a noise coming out of them. 70, 80 on the highway. perfect!!!

If this color is available in 2011 I'm getting it--that is a nice looking car and really digging the wheels. I think mine will have a nice set of white stripes though...

Went with the TSW Jaramas in Chrome. 3.5" Lip in the back. 20x10, 20x8.5 Front. Nitto Invo Tires.

I really like em, think they look pretty good. Once I get the car lowered and the rear centered i'll be even happier. Weathers been $hitty, so these are the best pics I got for now.

 

[EscapedGreg]

That looks good!!! Can't wait to see it lowered.

 

[Go-fast]

Nice wheels

 

[SteveP]

ah, your one of those guys who park like an ass too. LOL

Looks good. Will be a lot nicer when its lowered

Stock wheels looked way better...chrome looks ghetto.

otherwise, good job.

they are for sale if you want them

 

[EscapedGreg]

Some people don't realize if you don't have something nice to say them keep your mouth shut.

 

[Kaldar142]

Its a public forum, i'll say what I want to say.

I was actually contemplating even saying anything in the first place, repeating that exact phrase in my head... i'm just a chrome hater, thats all.

 

[rford426]

Looks good but im not a chrome guy either!

your wheels look chrome lol

 

[07TGGT]

Chrome looks good with certain wheels on certain cars, in this case, I like the stockers better.
