Traded my truck for my first Mustang. Awesome!

LudicrousSpeed · January 23rd, 2011, 12:51 PM

I bought a stock 91 Ranger 4x4 years ago. Regeared it, fabricated some stuff for it and lifted it about 12 inches. Put it on 33s. It was a blast but it's time for something new.

The Mustang is a 95 GT with a 5spd. Black on black, leather interior with power everything. It's been lowered 2". Has 17x10.5 and 17x9 wheels with 275s and 245s. They're BFG KDW Sports I believe. A few bolt-ons like a 70mm TB, MSD coil and distributor, K&N air filter and a short throw shifter of some kind. All I've done since I've gotten it is some HIDs and changed the oil with Royal Purple and a K&N oil filter. So far I'm loving it. Huge change from the truck and my previous cars. The stock 3.08s need to go though.

nice cars

275 seems skinny for 10.5 wheel

jordon · January 23rd, 2011, 09:38 PM

^That is what I was thinkin'

LudicrousSpeed · January 23rd, 2011, 10:36 PM

You may be right. I'm only going off what the owner told me. I didn't actually measure the wheels myself. Either way, I'm going to have a great time with the car...and that sounds kind of dirty.

V8POWA! · January 23rd, 2011, 11:01 PM

ya 275 is hella small for 10.5 inch.....i got 295 on a 9 inch wheel lol

nice car though!

Smoothgrandmama · January 23rd, 2011, 11:25 PM

I have a 295 on a 9.5 wheel and 275 on a 10.0 wheel....

Nice Mustang especially with the Bullitt Torque Thrust wheels and rear spoiler delete.
Your next mod should be a 3.73 rear axle gearset.
Since you car has been lowered 2", does it have adjustable CC plates bolted on at the front?

Thanks. Those have always been my favorite wheels. 3.73s are definitely in the near future. I'm not sure if I have the adjustable plates or not. I'll take a look on Saturday when I have some daylight.

Is it a GTS or does it just not have the spoiler?

What kind of exhaust on it? I see no tailpipes so I'm guessing there's mufflers right after the crossover pipe. Some chrome tailpipes would look SICK on that car.

V8POWA! · January 26th, 2011, 01:12 AM

the spoiler just got taken off i'm pretty sure. the exhaust is just dumped after the mufflers. i think it looks good like that.

Yes and yes. Spoiler was just taken off and some high speed black tape put on to cover the holes. It looks kind of tacky. At some point I'd like to do a better job covering the holes. The exhaust is stock aside from some flowmaster 40s and it dumps right behind the axle. I kind of like the look of having tips sticking out the back but I absolutely hate chrome so it probably won't happen. And I'm considering painting the wheels black at some point. They're not chrome but they're not dark enough either for my liking. For now I'm just going to enjoy it and drive it.

LOVE your nickname! LoL "Ludicrous Speed! NOW!!!" Congrats on your first money pit... I mean, Mustang.

I smell sanding, bondo, and paint in the near future

.

They are dumped after the axle?? I've seen plenty right after the mid-pipe. I didn't think there was enough room behind the axle for them due to the gas tank / spare tire. I love chrome tail pipes but the more I look at yours, its like the ultimate sleeper. You should get some blacked out headlights to complete the all black look.

Even that wouldn't quite do it. He'd need dark make-up, an Afro hairstyle, and he'd need to rename himself Ludacris.

stock 96-98 lights with black housings and red lights
