Car Mods, Upgrades and Repairs For 2023

[GR11M]

Now the weathers got better, what's everyone got planned for this year ?

1. Upgraded oil pump and gears
2. Upgraded crankshaft gear
3. Upgraded harmonic balancer/damper
4. Lightened water pump pulley
5. Replace the rest of the pulleys, and AC and serpentine belts
6. Replace AC condenser - current one the core is crumbling away
7. Replace 2 failed/failing door actuator motors - they control the hot air for the heater fans
8. I also need new adjustable coil overs

I already have the Ford Performance Track Pack M-FR3A-M8A. I've replaced the toe links to BMR TR005H and the sway bars powder coated black. I've got a fair few mods that have stiffened up the handling, so I'm now looking for some adjustable coil overs to soften the ride.

Carbon bonnet
Steeda IRS kit
Ceramic coating put on

Possibly remove the side decals once the new bonnet is installed

another new battery and remember to put fuel in it from time to time.

I would be happy to get some time to enjoy the Steeda kit and for it not to break again, but if I could make a plan :

1. IRS braces (already got them).
2. Vertical links (already got them).
3. Fast road / mild track alignment.
4. Steeda shifter bracket (on its way but needs some mods).
5. 15-17 NOS Ford Performance blank deck lid (already got, but needs some mods).

What I have coming, but won’t be fitted for a while :

1. Blowfish shifter bracket / NHRA prop loop (the original one, I found one NOS ).

On my medium term radar, 3 & 4 maybe if black Friday comes up trumps :

1. Toe link bearings.
2. J&M toe links specific to the above.
3. OE PP2 splitter.
4. Ford Performance full Magneride kit.

Long term radar :

1. 4:09 gears and Torsen (already got).
2. 16mm through bolts for the diff (partly already in motion).
3. 20’s with some really fat sticky rubber (R888’s keep beckoning me … lol).

Always high on the list of priorities :

1. Not letting the misses find my lists …

I've got the new water pump pulley already and the rest of the pulleys and belts plus a few other OEM replacement parts are on the way. Annoyingly the door actuators and AC lines (decided I might as well change these too as they're not that expensive) are on back order. Some of the more expensive goodies are sat in my shopping cart ready to go, as there's currently Easter sales on.

If I can find a good colour match then
GT350 fenders
Cervini stalker hood
Also looking at changing the exhaust

 

[raptor17GT]

If I keep mine
1. Look into getting front tribars lit and while we're in there
2. changing the 25w candles for 35w candles
3. Maybe changing suspension to try get rid of the slop when changing direction
4. Get wheels (stock OEM) tidied up
5. Get a driving camera/dashcam setup installed

Stage 2 Whipple is sat at GT101 waiting for my booking at the end of July where it’ll get fitted with OPG and CS just to be sure. Apart from that it’ll just be maybe a few small cosmetic bits.

Does GT101 already have the Whipple? Just curious why waiting to the end of July

Yeah, a gloss red one is sat there waiting for July. A few reasons it’s already there: 1) I have a new baby due in the next month and am organising anything that’s within a few months of their arrival early, 2) it times it nicely with my service, MOT and insurance renewal, 3) Whipple did at one stage have massive wait times, so when I enquired it was assuming those were still in place.

Congrats on the new baby, I wish you and the family the very best of luck.
