Are you going to do cams yourself? I asked a shop here and install was outrageous. I might do them too but not at their price. The dyno tune with the cams will be a grand already.

Coilovers already installed
Rear lower control arms finally installed

Night Shifter what kind of coilovers are you running? I am interested in purchasing the Eibach ones from americanmuscle. I want to be able to slam my car on some 9 inch wide wheels and raise it back up to run some 10.5's outback. How hard is the install? Is it straight forward?

How much boost will it take to reach 650 with stock top end with the 62mm?

Im running MMR's coil over kit..pretty inexspensive but do the job of what theyre meant for..i have no complaints at all

Install is fairly easy but can differ depending which kit and which struts you run...keep in mind universal style coilovers are made to fit all size struts so they are the diameter of the fattest strut and you may have to wrap your struts with duct tape to keep them from being noisy and to get them to fit a little more snug...

As for eibach...most of the ones i have delt with were ok...some were complete trash and others were decent...when it comes to coilovers there is much better companies to go with instead of eibach that will perform better and be a lot cheaper

I just bought a cat-back, and will be installing it next week sometime.

BlackArtemis · Feb 24, 2012

Selling the mustang, selling the Honda, selling almost everything I own and moving back to Thailand

I am looking at getting a CBR250 for starters and then maybe a ER6n
I will build another Honda Chaly monkey bike.
If I stay long enough and buy/build a car it is going to either be an e30 or 1st gen celica wither either an SR20DET, 1JZGTE or 1UZFE

Night Shifter · Feb 24, 2012

I miss my 98 240 that i did an sr20 swap in.....made more power than the mustang does lol

BlackArtemis · Feb 24, 2012

Sadly any 240 or 180sx is going to cost me at least 15-20k over there due to the crazy taxes and thus crazy retention of value.
No made in Thailand? More tax! over 3.0l? more tax! Over 250hp? More tax! So a 2012 Mustang GT might cost $150,000 and don't try to bring on over, the corrupt customs officials will screw you out of it and take it home themselves.

Also, a Datsun 510 or Datsun pickup with an SR20 or SR20DET is an option. But the 4.0 1uzfe V8 is the closest I can get to that nice muscle sound I have no idea why that engine is so damn cheap in Thailand (like 1-1.5k USD) But a Chevy 350 is going to cost you 5-10k

slayerripkdc · Feb 24, 2012

I was hoping to install a Meth injected Vortech v1 but I am trying to save for a house. Im trying hard not to mod the Stang and it is sooo hard lol. I keep thinking once I get a nice down payment for a house I will purchase a C5 corvette and mod the hell out of both the little 2v and the C5 Cant' wait!

slayerripkdc · Feb 24, 2012

I love 240's. Silvias look so nice. I would love to have a nice clean one and set it up for drifting! I am always looking on craigslist for good deals on 240's and rx7's.

Rejekt · Feb 24, 2012

1) Replacing my bent DD black bullitts with a new set of Stealth FR500's.
2) Subframe connectors
3) Steering wheel (my old one is a piece of .. it's ripping and missing small chunks lol)

Will be doing the K member so I can start saving for the On3 kit soon...

I would be "assisting" in the install. Family friend is a mechanic who has his own shop. He's helped me with all my installs and charges next to nothing. Im still not 100% sure I will be doing cams because tuning will be a pretty big issue with me.
