installed my front sway bar and hammered/rolled my rear fenders since they were sitting on the tires. fits now.
still trying to figure out my trans problem at the moment. starting to **** me off.
funny thing was i had the car idling and i look up and at the end of my street theres a cop just sitting there watching. shut the car off and he took off. theyve been driving by like every weekend for the past couple of weeks. guess theyre waiting for me to pull out of my driveway. yeesh.
anyways heres the issue my trans is having if anyone can help.

decided not to waste my day andn pulled it apart already. also decided to gut the rest of my dash and get ready for when i get my gauges. gotta wait for my buddy to get some free time so we can weld it back together and add some gussets to it too.

Glad to hear you got the trans working right. That idler breaking is just working out the bugs. You'll get it solid. Can't wait to see it melting tires!

yeah hopefully might get it welded up tomorrow and most likely add a little more bracing to it. i was excited when the trans decided to work. i was so getting ready to pull everything apart to get the trans out. i hate dropping trans, for me its easier pulling the whole thing.
Nice swap. I like your choice of wheels. I am also thinking of running Corvette wheels on my 02 Mustang although I am looking at the C5 or C6 five spokes. Which adapters did you order? I was just looking at them on ebay 5x4.5 to 5x4.75 correct?

went and picked up my box today from my buddy. thought he was jsut goin to weld it up and add a cheap little bracket. nope he freakin water jetted out this little piece. sorry crappy cell phone pic.

and talked to him about a intercooler setup i thought up last night. he said we might be able to pull it off. so hmmm might be intercooled soon but also might look a little ugly.

That'd make the setup like my remote mount. With the TB mounted infront of the SC and the FMIC plumbed in, the enormous increase in plenum volume will kill throttle response
