I don't see anything about sway bars in your sig?
Seats?
Cage?
Harness?
Wheels/Tires
Do some basic engine mods and exhaust
Replace OEM rubber bushings

If I had 10k for parts for my car, I would probably not be able to spend it all

hmm hard to say. cage, 3v motor, and work on the suspension. id like to see if i could put griggs sla setup together on with 10g

honestly though i think i would go buy myself a cmc car for like 8k and be done.

Do you own a truck? If you do, selling this Mustang and buying an AS, AI, or CMC Mustang and a trailer, or certain Formula cars and a trailer, become really good options, especially if you can see yourself racing soon.

Otherwise cage, seat, harness, better brakes, stiffer springs, Koni double adjustable shocks, MM delrin bushed front control arms, MM K member, big honkin wheels and tires.

Yep I have sway bars. Engine mods I have done just about all the bolt one you can do.

I don't want to do griggs at this point due to having almost the full mm setup. The motor is tempting, but I would end up spending money on headers again. Plus I want to be able to drive the car to the events.

Is that all you would do with 10g

?

I am kinda leaning to doing TFS heads, cams, water pump, tires, seats, harness and cage. Maybe an aluminum block out of a mark viii or aviator.

edit: forgot k member as well.

I started looking at a mm roll bar last night i may have to get it but yep then other upgrades in moderation. Prob a watts link and a lil extra too actually

For autoX our cars don't need much more power, we need traction

.. with that said if you can pull a new 5.0 swap for the same price as a 4V I'd go with it.. that motor is amazing.. but I have to think it will cost a lot more..

^havent seen you for quite a while

While true, this car is for fun. If I want competative I'll get something else.
