tevaburns Magnetic GT/PP - VADER

[bvdawg13]

Car is looking good! Love the dark/magnetic combo.
I also had a real struggle with the JLT airbox, ended up just saying screw the inlet shroud

Man, this car is absolutely beautiful. I have basically the exact same car coming this week (only mine will have charcoal interior) and I'm trading in a black 2006 GT, and was debating between black or magnetic - after seeing yours I know I made the right choice. And the first thing on my list of stuff to-do is black out the badges.

You'll love it man. Best of luck at improving as an Architect.

I replaced the stock shift knob with this simple retro White one.

You were absolutely right; I love it. Picked it up yesterday.

SICK.

Today I installed:

- Steeda's IRS Vertical Links
- DSS 800hp Axles

DSS Axle Install tip: ignore the overall length of the axles since there is a TON of play in telescoping on these. To determine which axle goes on which side you must remove just ONE of the stock axles and find the DSS axle that matches it on the part (circled above) that inserts into the DIFF.

Today I installed:

- Steeda's IRS Vertical Links
- DSS 800hp Axles

I bought these axles so I could safely take the car to the strip and be ready for a possible ProCharger kit some day....
but an unexpected bonus to these axles is the shift-CLUNK that all the GT-PP owners complain about is GONE. Must have been "play" in the stock axles.

Did you install the axles yourself? any pictures, tips, tricks, etc?

Your car looks like it is coming alone nicely

I can't believe I'm only just now coming across this thread. These are the best photos I've seen from any forum member so far. Fantastic shots and great writing. Makes me feel like I should continue modding sooner than later.

Thanks guys!

I did do this install myself and it wasn't terrible. I did use an impact driver which helped a ton. I didn't take any pics because there are already 2 great axle install treads. I do recommend doing the Vertical links at the same time as the axles since you are right there anyway. I'm really impressed with these parts. The car is smoother and the rear end is quieter.

- 32mm size socket is needed to take off the stock big nut.

- DSS Axles come with a new 36mm nut so you'll need a socket for that too.

Torque it 98ftlbs + 45 degrees.....
That ends up coming out to like 230~ish.

Gosh man, thanks. I'll try to do another photo session this summer.
