After drooling countless hours looking at parts for my car and hoping, I'm finally starting the first phase of my car's upgrades. My goal is 500hp-600hp hopefully without making too much of a sacrifice in torque. These first purchases were made without knowing anyone close to the parts dealers, so I know I'm getting the anal treatment without the lube when it comes to buying retail. Slightly over $1500 is the first phase of about 10 that I have planned already. This is what I started with:
C&L Cold Air Intake

BBK 62mm Dual Throttle Body

Flowmaster Axle-Back Exhaust

Predator Computer Tuner

and a Push Button Ignition just because I like the way it looks, lol.


I'm fucking excited! No birthdays, no Christmas', never asking of anything for myself besides socks and boxers and now I get to start work on my car. I feel like a kid in a candy store, but at the same time I feel guilty for buying this stuff. I dont know why, maybe it has to do with the fact that I've never spent this much cash on something for myself besides buying the actual car. But that felt different anyway.

Anyway, feel free to comment. The parts should be here this coming week and I'll get some pics of the installation and post them up here.

Use only the finest Maxwell coffee cans for exhaust

[|DRC| Iceman]

You should post a couple pics while smoke'n the tires...heh

[|DRC| Wang]

Oh, I'll get some pictures. You can bet on that.

[|DRC| Wang]

Mufflers, cold air intake, and computer tune installed and rumbling like an etheopian kid's stomach hehe. I'm looking for the usb cable for my digital camera and I'll get some pics for ya'll.

[|DRC| Iceman]

Stop yaking about posting pics and do it will ya already!

Nice Wanginator! So was I mistaken or do you have the V-6 not the GT? (Sorry I'm not trying to bash, I'm just not into Stangs). Those are great upgrades, but how are you going to get that much HP out? What is your plan, Twin Turbo, Pro Supercharger, Nitrous? Do you have a digi camera, I'd like to hear that growl. I love the sound of V-8's.

I'm still working on my Turbo setup for my Civic. I haven't had much time lately b/c of the move and all. I will be starting my project starting this summer and my goal is going to be about 300 HP+ on a mild setup.

I didn't realize Ford still put V6's in Mustangs..........I thought they stopped that along time ago in the 80's

Haha acually, they didn't start until recently. Up until 93-94 range, you could either get a 2.4 liter 4 cylinder or the 305 "5.0" v8. Now, (not sure about 2006) they come with the 4.6 liter v8, or the feeble 3.8 liter v6. Until you go up to the Cobra, which gets a nice fat supercharger

I believe I saw an 89' Mustang LX hatchback, with a straight 6 in it (stock), and I knew a girl that had the litterly the same car and year with a 4 cylinder in it I never really understood that, but it was stock as well.

[Mykro]

It's possible. I don't have a real wide knowledge base on mustangs. I think it's funny that I own a civic that eats GT's Not the one you see pics of, I have a project civic that sits away.

[|DRC| Iceman]

Eat them as in what exactly?? Their exhaust Too much exhaust is bad for your health you know

They actually switched to a 4.6 in 95 or 96 I do believe. They also run stupid fucking plastic intake plenums.<<<<<< Very bad.

[|DRC| Marblecake]

I smoked a GT on the highway last night. It was BAD!!!! The new GT ontop of it. IN let him down shift and I started to laugh and CYAAAAAAAAA!

Haha no..I don't know how may people are honda fans here, but my old 95 civic coupe had a b18b swap (Integra LS) with a b16b head (Civic Type-R), running 12:1 compression. the block had gsr pistons, yadda yadda. Revved to around 8700 safely, and put out ( in my estimation) around 210 whp. Brought it to a local raceway and ran a 14.2 the only time i got to run it. Seeing as all the mustangs there were still in the high 14's, low 15's, that's what I mean by eat

Ok, I know I have been gone a while...but let me tell you my little upgrade package has paid off.

I have installed the C & L cold air intake kit, Flowmaster exhaust, and the Diablosport Predator computer tuning. At the SHITTIEST track in all of fucking Texas I have run a 13.84 time in the 1/4 mile. I plan on taking it to San Antonio Raceway (google it for info) which probably has the sweetest warmup and the best tree in all of the state. Now I want to see a nice little civic smoke me...one that is registered and inspected legal by the state. I think not.

BTW, I have installed the push button ignition switch and I am fucking loving it. So are the sorority chicks at the track.....lick my balls honda, I'm pushing 310 rwhp on $1500 upgrades.

[|DRC| Death]

[|DRC| psycheus]

Nice Wangy! Guess what.. I finally picked up a turbo kit for my honda . It's a Greddy kit that will produce around 200 whp on my stock motor and 250-260 whp on a built motor. I have some pictures I will post later.
