Ryan218 Progress thread..lots o pics.

ebay: r1 concepts.

Best Seller on Ebay for '06 so they should be alright...

60 bucks for 2 OE style rotors plus shipping, which is a bitch b/c they are in Cali.

I am also picking up some 73mm mark calipers off ebay for 40 bucks shipped and if needed I found a 93 cobra MC for 50 bucks OBO.


why are you doing new calipers and MC? can i use my stock calipers and MC and just put the Mark 7 rotors on there?

ill end you buying new oe ones from napa at napas cost...which is like 30 something...then im just gonna buy new rear axles from napa as well..
 
the master cyl wont make a diff with theese brakes.. My friend ran them with all stock brake system and crown vic calipers with no problems..

so i can use stock MC and calibers with mark 7 rotors??

as soon as i think i understand it someone goes and makes me think about it more...damn you grey!...nah j/m...you ever get your car back from the body shop? how did the repairs end up looking?
 
after i got home i decided i was going to mess with the intake for a lil...i think im gonna find a set of stock 5.0 valve covers and paint em and swap em on...I noticed today mine has a small crack in it on the right rear of the valve cover (driver side)....dosent really leak though just after the car gets a lil warm it starts to...weird...

My vote is black

Im not sure if they make it, But a Flat Black engine paint would look realllll nice.. Not much of a fan of the shiny black engine paint that much..

Ryan how much did you pick your car up for again? :scratch:

and Keep up the good work mang!!!! :nice: :nice:

$1,600 and before you say anything about what i paid for it think this...

4 cyl verts are going for twice that in running shape in my area...and a 5.0 vert that runs and looks good no rust...is going for around 4k+
 
my flash makes it look a little more glossy then it is...i like it though.....
