If theres anything this world isn't short on, its opinions and feedback. I'm closing in on completing my 'wish list' of all mods that have been installed or purchased and waiting to be installed and I'm curious on the forum's feedback on what I've done and anything that may be missing.
As for what I want to "do" with the car, its a garage queen at this point. Its a 3rd vehicle and I put roughly 100-150 miles a month on it on average. I do plan on doing some track days but no AutoX or drag racing. I've owned several Mustangs in the past and once ran a now defunct Mustang club in the North Bay of California. Basically this is my mid life crisis car and my chance to do everything I never could afford to do as a kid. Since my wife and I cruise on the weekends in it when the weather is nice, I have been trying to strike a balance for "bang for the buck" without introducing crazy amounts of NVH. Thus far I've been successful on that front. Without further ado, here's my mods list. Note this includes everything that has either been done or will be completed in the next two weeks (parts already purchased):
Appearance:
GT350 track spoiler, steering wheel, shift knob, Enkei Raijin 19" wheels
Drivetrain:
Ford Performance Supercharger, Ford Performance Short Throw Shifter, Ford Racing Half Shafts, QA1 Carbon Fiber Driveshaft, Ceramic Shorty Headers, Magnaflow "Foose Edition" Catback
Suspension & Brakes:
Ford Performance Track Handling Kit, Steeda Stop the Hop Kit, Steeda Vertical Links with Poly Bushings, Steeda G Trac Brace, Steeda Camber Bolts, Baer Eradispeed 2 piece rotors front and rear, Steeda Stainless Steel Brake Lines
I also replaced the stock Pirelli P-Zeros with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tires. I did retain the stock performance pack staggered setup and wheel/tire sizes.
Had I to do it all over again, I probably would have bit the bullet and gotten longtubes. I also likely would have gone to 305s in the rear. Beyond that, interested in everyone's feedback on what is good, what is bad, what is dumb, what should still be done, etc.
