Pinero's build: "Monica"

[pinero61]

So, my whole goal for this build is to have a road racing setup that has the looks and performance abilities to tangle with low-end supercars, such as vettes, low end 911's, BMW 1M, etc... This may not be a goal that's even feasible to reach, but, "aim high, hit low", right? [emoji1]


Here's what I'm working with:

2015 GT Base
Performance Pack
Recaro Seats
Ruby Red

I went with the lightest, best performing set up offered in the GT, since I'll end up replacing most of the electronic components anyway.

Here's a pic at delivery:

I've already gotten well underway with mods, and will post more when I have time.

Finally got time to throw on the the first mod:

Lethal Performance Grill Delete.

This project is actually very easy, but requires some patience. The bumper must be removed, and be careful with the grill clips.

Pinero's build: "Monica"

On order/awaiting install:

Bama custom tuning
MAK cat delete 3"
Magnaflow comp series catback
Eibach pro springs
Eibach pro sway bars
MRT hood struts
Vled switchbacks
Speed dawg carbon shifter
Steeda G-trac brace
MAK blacked out emblems
Steeda trans bushing


That'll make me happy for a bit, I'm awaiting BMR's release of suspension components and a decision on a 6070 swap. Then, things will get serious. [emoji16]

Car looks great, good luck with the build!

Curious to see how you like the hood struts. I installed them last week and the only issue I have with them is that the hood doesn't sit 100% flush anymore for me. Just my advice, take a before and after pic of the hood and see if there is a difference. Car is looking great, can't wait to see the future mods on the car.

Thanks man, I'll let you know when i get them in.

Well, since I'm out of the country, the car has been delivered to my installer to have the bigger mods knocked out before I get home. I'll post sound clips as I get them.

Also, there's a few big mods going on the truck when I get home too. That's mainly the reason I'm having the installer do these mods. I won't have time with the list of crap I have to do on the Eco.

Exhaust is partially on (catback only):

Just got back stateside, and went get her from having the following installed:

- eibach pro springs
- eibach pro sways
- Steeda g-trac brace
- Steeda trans bushing
- Magnaflow Comp Catback

To be honest, the car doesn't feel like a mustang anymore.... All body roll / squat is pretty much gone. It makes me feel like I can hammer through the curves at ridiculous speeds. The ride quality is actually better than before.

I haven't gotten to play with it too much, so I'll post a few review in a few days. I can already say it was worth every penny!

That G-Trac Brace is on point!

I'm loving it! I seriously need more grip now though.

Car looks great! Did you need two people for the Lethal grille delete? I saw the instructions say you do, just curious if that is true. The Steeda trans bushing, is that this part here:
