New stance.


Picked this up at a local JY for 75 bucks. Should make for a nice upgrade.

I bought a Mustang for 350 bucks that had a couple thousand dollars worth of parts on it but it had sat outside for a few years. I stole and sold the parts off of it and made about 2,000 on it. Car got all new Blistein shocks, upper and lower control arms, coil overs, caster camber plates, 3.55 rear with new axles and the wheels, 5 lug conversion and V8 brakes. I started tuning cars at a local dyno shop so I have access to a dyno now. Car will be getting tuned after I clean up the engine bay and give her a quick garage paint job. More updates to follow.

New stance looks good. Nice score on the Mustang donor too.

So total cash into this car came out to 4232.75 not including the turbo as I already had it from a previous project. I made 1600 on the mustang that I bought for parts so I have a total of 2632.75 out of pocket on this entire project including the credits to tune it. I could have missed a few small parts here and there but nothing expensive. Still need to find a half decent converter though.
I've been doing some tuning at a local dyno and he has offered up his engine dyno for me to do some testing for free. Probably won't be for a couple weeks but it looks like I will be able to test the difference this intake makes. Going to max out this little mpt70.
Almost forgot I pieced together a full exhaust with an old MBRP muffler with a bullet after it. Car should be super stealthy now.
