The one and only GABE's '13 GT Build Thread!

All in due time. Still getting the driveline ready for that. Still need to have the axle tubes welded, a driveshaft loop, and kill the vibrations from the 1-piece d/s.



Look who's talking! Lol

I don't have the energy for a 100-page thread that ends in me selling the car (finally) boosted.

Man, don't beat the living piss out of it and your driveline will be fine. Plenty of guys have been running tens on stock suspension and driveline components.

What D/S you running?

I am liking that 5.0 decal on the decklid. Subtle yet you still see it.

nothin wrong with being safe

the only thing you need is to weld the axle tubes though. then if you do lowering springs get a lca relocation bracket and your good

Thanks Dan, I feel the same way about it

I have lowering springs, I have BMR LCA's and BMR relo brackets. J&M adjustable panhard bar too.

Finally got it dyno'd today, running a Bama 93-octane "hybrid" tune.

Tuner looked at the tune and didn't want to go for higher numbers since it was at the limit of safety, so we stopped there.

Ran it twice, first numbers 388/369 are in the video below, the second run was 390/370 ...

 

[mikeyfitz]

Just a tune?

Crazy that mine threw down barely any less bone stock.

What were the temps like?

Thanks man ... I'm kinda done for now, just enjoying it for what she is.
I go to car shows almost every day, I take it to weekly meets for my Mustang club that I run (along with 3 other admins), and I postponed the blower install for "some time in the future". No rush. I love the car exactly as she sits.

Gorgeous car, Gabe. My favorite color of the new models.

Today I got a new Metco driveshaft loop installed.
Thanks to Jason @ Hypermotive for the great deal, service, and shipping!

Car looks good dude.

Gabe, exactly how far back from the transmission cross member mounting bolts is that loop? I'm curious if it would work with the T56 which has a longer tail piece. My BMR loop ended up wrapping around the transmission output tail instead of the driveshaft but that one looks like it extends further back.

Not sure, sorry ... never got a measurement. Looks to me like 8-10" ??
