New here got directed to this site from some friends at the michigan state university racing club.

Right now im driving a 2000 mustang gt 5 sp with about 90K on it. its nothing to crazy still a work in progress.

what i do with it: Drag, autcross, and waist rediculous amounts of gas just cruising around.

current mods:
-04' pi intake with alum cross over tube.
-BBK X pipe
-flowmaster 40 series cat back
-eibach lowering springs
-eibach camber bolts
-BBK CAI
-Zex 75 wet shot
-supposedly previous owner went through the heads but im not sure if i buy that.
-newer 8.8 31 spline 4:10s with the cobra clutch packs.

a few visual things: like lambo gun metal paint job, aftermarket mirrors, things like that.

working on currently: looking for purge kit for the zex system, debating the never ending turbo/supercharger FI battle. that will probably be a winter project. looking for some sort of flash tuner probably a xcal 2 but cant find one cheap. also watching for a set of 18s for the car that are cheap its got the 17in slit spokes on it now that i would sell or trade toward some 18s.

anyways i think thats good for now.

couple pics from the autocross last weekend

i get that a lot. the problem is dont get a model for photoshoots that are hotter than the car or else it defeats the purpose of putting a car in the shoot. it went from "the mustang shoot" to "the girl shoot" real fast.
 
for the record still looking for a new 8.8 carrier at min if not a complete rear end. heres a few pics of the old one....

Well i got the new rear end from Matt yesterday and started working on it today. did new bearings all through and set my 4.10s in it today. sanded it down and got a fresh coat of paint on it. have trouble getting the old lower control arm bolts out of the arm itself. they are basically welded into the bushing and i cant get them to spin apart. but other then that im ready to throw in all the new stuff. (lower control arms, shocks, springs, dampers, and im debating the spherical bushings in the top of the 8.8 housing itself.) Anyone have experience with those? also got the deck lid pulled off sense someone keyed it last year, im trading my paint guy some pictures of the car from photoshoots for his calender to fix the sratches. Also picked up the old wheels and tires from the shop to have the new skins mount and balanced tomorrow between classes. once all this is done i can spin her around and do the cams that came in from comp last tuesday (xe270ah) thats all for this weekend.
 
first sorry for miss spelling this is on my phone and hard to read.

okay i still cant post in parts wanted due to lack of posts but im in DESPERATE need of parts again... my tranny smoked from the new motor so im looking for a cheap t45 or reasonable t56 to swap in. if anyone can find anything i would REALLY appreciate it. I also need a new tuner asap (diablo). I was working email tunes with joe at trick tuners but without sounding like a douche myself and bashing him lets just say he was a huge mistake and if details are requested ill provide them but i would warn everyone to stay away from him. so now im looking for a new tuner probably a dyno tuner in the mid michigan area. the new motor i swapped in is a teskin alum 2v block, mahley rods and pistons, port and polished pi heads, 11:1 compression, balanced crank, anderson stage 3 cams, bullit intake, electric water pump, CAI. ive got a base tune and one retune before the other tuner disappeared so i dont need a full custom tune done just tweaking on the tune i already have. PHP wanted $600 just to tweak the tune...... yeah right thats more then most places charge for a full custom tune so dont worry about sending me his way ive heard on other threads of some places in Mi but due to the fact ive got a decent base tune i need a place thats going to take that into consideration when it comes to price because it wont take much for them to tweak it
