Well, finally got it washed and a few pics. Only things left, I got a new hood decal and to have it tuned. Beyond that, nothing really planned for it other than to drive it and take it to the track a few times. http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2865_zps23c848b0.jpg http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2858_zpsc57bd29d.jpg http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2857_zpsa51eecf0.jpg http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2856_zpsbf4fa3aa.jpg http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2855_zpsafd6e377.jpg

When your 158 trap car is not good enough......

House of Duty. Love it!

LSx swap?

Was able to wrap a lot of it up today. Wanted to change the spark plugs, as I didn't know what they were. So once that was done, I figured it was a good time to put the coil pack covers on. Think it all turned out good. http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2846_zps0728f3ea.jpg http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2845_zps79384dfa.jpg http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2844_zpsad8e0c83.jpg I also got the Speedhut and gauge pod installed. I also put some blue LED lights in the cluster. Looks bad ass! http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2847_zps59bfcb8f.jpg http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2850_zps71efb521.jpg Pretty much wraps up the mods. I got a new Mach 1 hood decal that has not been installed yet, but that is it. Going to get it cleaned up and some pics of everything here in a few days.

I wonder how long until American Muscle comes out with a switch to bypass going through the menus....

I have the following: If used in a Tial 38mm pressure ratings Small Yellow 3.6 psi Small Green 7.25 psi Small Blue 8.7 psi Will also work in other Tial wastegates like the 44mm. All for $55 shipped Same part numbers as here plus this has a Tial chart http://www.amsperformance.com/cart/TiAL-Wastegate-Springs.html http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/For%20Sale/IMG_2814_zpsa440cd13.jpg http://amsperformance.com/amsperformanceimages/1/F38%20-%20V44%20%281%29.jpg

Hmmm, I dont plan on dragging this car as much as I did the turbo one. Hell I might never put slicks on it to tell the truth. Yours get beat up at the track or just street driving? Boost gauge came in, working on that this week and then soon I can button up the interior and start cleaning this bitch. Also still need to paint my other coil covers and get them on as well. Thanks guys, hopefully work pays off. So far, I think it is.

Made a bit more progress. Car is back on the ground and the new springs look great. Going to hold off showing much pictures of that as the car is pretty dirty. Once its all cleaned up, ill take a few good ones. Here is now how the car sits in the front: http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2800_zps09a5eacb.jpg Next up, I guess the previous owner let his dog chew up some seat belts? So Got a few from teh Corral. Here is what the old ones looked like. Yikes! http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2808_zps314fb1a9.jpg Replaced the Radiator cover with a new stock black one to break up the skulls a bit. http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2792_zpse3a2cd2b.jpg Car came with a sub and amp tied into teh factory system. This is what it looked like. I might rewire it someday, but it works and I am afraid to touch much of it http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2826_zps24c1d88a.jpg Cleaned up http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2827_zps872fb3ea.jpg

Fucking cunt got what she deserved.

Brakes came in last night, so I got them on and finished up painting the calipers. I pretty much hate anything other than silver and black when it comes to caliper colors. The rotors are from Ebay, Ive had good luck with them on my old turbo fox, so I got another set. I think they look great Old vs New http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2777_zpsa536d52b.jpg Front http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2779_zps5b9de492.jpg Rear (Cleaned up some of the orange crap after pic) http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2780_zpsc2192d9b.jpg Also got my "cold" air done. I thought the Kenne Bell vent thing was ugly as hell, so I came up with this. Its a 4" 45* and a 4" 90* coupler and a little smaller filter I had laying around. I think it looks better. http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2783_zps5e4ad916.jpg http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2784_zps192b6f63.jpg

Got some more done last night. Got the lower control arms (UPR) and rear springs in. Dont look like much, but took a few hours to do. Also worked on finishing up painting the calipers and brackets. Ill post pics of that when the brakes and rotors show up. http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2772_zps39c2d307.jpg http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2773_zps1b6aef9c.jpg Also took out the A Piller gauge pod and Sunpro gauges out. Going to run a single Speedhut Boost gauge in a column pod. Hopefully that will be shipping soon. You can see the Raptor shift light in this shot as well. http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2774_zpse1b421d8.jpg

Now that is funny!

ATF calls it a pistol, so I will as well Got a M92 AK. Not going to do a lot, add a sling and change the grip. http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/IMG_2738_zps79e6905d.jpg http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/IMG_2737_zpsa34a28f6.jpg

Figured I go ahead and make a thread on the things I am doing with the Mach 1. Ordered a lot of little things to clean up some things and to improve on what I didn't like. Here is what we are starting with: http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/mach11stplace_zps6b16afb9.jpg http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_0590_zps800cb246.jpg Installed an MGW shifter. I couldn't believe of all the things this car did have, it had a stock shifter, cable, quadrant, etc. Still waiting on the firewall adjuster and cable, but got the shifter in. http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2745_zpseef1db01.jpg Toped it off with a Ford Racing knob http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2746_zps1305323d.jpg I really did not like how low the car sat, so I got a new set to lower it 1.5"s. So I got the old springs and what do you know, they are just cut stockers. Hopefully these new ones will ride a lot better. http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2747_zpsb963121f.jpg http://i980.photobucket.com/albums/ae290/ackbar00/Mach%201/IMG_2748_zps3af06d8a.jpg That is it for now. Taking off the caliper covers and painting the brakes. Still have to do the rear springs and control arms.

Im a BAWS!!!

There was one not a 1/4 mile from my house. Almost wreck my car every time I see it out.

Awesome!

Focus St or Fusion all day over a Dart.

I heart the LSx Jeep.

See? There is hope they will kill Carl off.

Really have only had a chance to drive it once. And I didn't give it the full monty, but it does run well. Kind of feels like a big cubed motor. The suck part is, I really cant hear the KB. I am pulling off that dryer vent thing and moving the air filter back up top. Figured that will help a lot.

Damn Juicy, that really blows

What size(s) are the XXR's?
