I'm going to be a hater on that horribly executed CETA.. It's too much charcoal... Flat black would look better. Flat black hood stripes would look better... Not feeling the red calipers either....bad *** car tho!!! I'm sure that ****** rolls out...

Yes, thank you. I guess the plate is a typo.

Well, good thing its my car. Because I disagree, it turned out exactly how I want. I dont like murdered cars, nor do I like chrome, so this is my compromise. and as I said, its exactly what I want, I just need to find out how to some silver accents on the side of the car. and Ive yet to see anyone else do a two-tone CETA...

Engine bay is awesome! I want more info and couldn't find a build thread.

I see you relocated the battery and replaced the overflow tank.

The traction control has been romoved or hidden very well.

ABS has been deleted or hidden very well

A/C is removed

My biggest questions are:
- where did you relocate the driver side frame rail harness and fuse boxes to?
- did you remove the heater core and heater lines or are those hiddes somewhere?

The only thing I hid, was the fuse boxes and wiring. I ran the wiring though the metal structure of the wheel well. the fuses are tucked up behind the headlight/fog light.

Everything else was deleted I think.... Its hard to remember what it used to look like.

HVAC is gone completely, I never used it when I had it.
TCS/ABS is deleted.


Thank you very much. I appreciate it.


Build thread is here.

Thats my Interior/Engine bay build thread, I have another one that focuses more on my Engine.

Thanks, haha, theyre were a lot of problems that day... My SPEC Stage 3 was slipping a lot. So I got trextrailia twin disc with iron discs. Im installing that this weekend. and then I have to figure out the tune after its back on the road... but to answer your question the best pass was 530WHP(Mustang Dyno)
