Next came some new mirrors, as the standard TRUCK style mirrors are awful, and make squezzing through the garage opening a bugger, these are 2" less, so 4" reduction in total. Fitted the new 100% clear lenses.

Next came flip out screen media unit, while keeping the use of the 500W system this car came with..

Pics:

Screen shut, with pocket above for cables/iphone (flash makes this look messy as its throwing light in there, but its not that bad!)

Opening & Ipod Interface Vid




Volume from mute to 25or30, can't remember. This is recorded on a compact, so its ALOT better in real life! Took alot of effort to get woofers working, video doesn't do much justice. :(

Finally, this Saturday just gone fitted the new Steeda Ultralite suspension, and EBC brakes

Mug test (Steeda)

Steeda Ultralites fitted

As you can see, it's probably an inch higher than before, much more driveable. Don't get me wrong, the APEX were great, but a little too low for speed bump crazy UK...

The Steedas are much smoother ride till you start slinging the car about, then they stiffen up. When I first fitted them I thought it looked a bit jacked up, but thankfully after a trip out they had settled, and the ride height in my opinion, still looks awesome.


EBC Discs and Yellastuff pads fitted too :)

Got the suspension swapped and the front discs/pads done in around 2.5 hours.


A Little Hatfield Tunnel Vid - within speed limit!




Just a full CAI and tune required befroe the year is out, and I'll be happy..


Cheers

Mike

Cheers! Yeah the Shelby's are nice...


The what OC? Nope... are you sure you have seen it on there? Not many in that red with black stripes, and I'd doubt if they have the same wheels lol - Interested if so tho :)

Cheers :)

Been a while since getting on here, my bad for that :(

Little update, I've changed the Exhausts over to ones that actually have silencer boxes now, tweaked the tune up a level due to only using the performance fuel now, and on Sunday I bought some 20" staggered Bullit rims... which I should be picking up this week :)

Photoshop of how car should look, and a few pics of the rims....

One of my neighbours kids, always takes an interest when I am tinkering with any of my cars, loves the Mustang so I took him for a spin (you know, giving the car a blow dry lol).

Took some pics on a closed industrial estate, and then made his day by letting him have a play with the throttle :)
