Was up guys!! I finally started my build!!!:D

Tokico HP's all around
Upr front C/O
MM CC plates
Qa1 K member and arms
Super King Clutch
Rear Sportlines
Ford Gt pump
Hurst STS
On3 turbo kit

I have already ran into some trouble with the k-member, the two bolts that hold the swaybar and the k member are too long!! and the top nuts that hold the a-arm to the k member are too wide!! I thought all of the stock bolts were supposed to fit fine.

I'll post up pics in a bit. Any help is more than welcome!!

Im gonna try to get all the suspension done by tomorrow!!

Soooooo happy!! Ive been collecting parts for a while now and its finally coming along!!!!!!

Thanks in advance!!!!!:D:D:D

Sorry I can't provide any help, I have never installed a tubular K-member, however that's a great list of parts and can't wait to see everything installed. I wish you nothing but good luck with your on3 kit, you've probably heard the negative feedback so I won't get into that lol. When all is said and done she ought to be a beast, keep us updated!

Ive heard pretty good things with On3 for the past few months now. Like the link I posted, that guy didn't run into 1 issue as far as fitment, or bolts or whatever. Ive heard some other good things from people on other forums, I think its mustangforums.com

I just want a fun car bro, if I had 6k+ to drop into a hellion kit I would...

UPDATE...

Got the k member and arms mounted. I went to napa and got the two bolts I needed for the sway bar.

For the bolts that went to the arms we just shaved a piece off the nut with an angle grinder and it went right in!!

Started to work on the CC plates but got rained out! :mad: Hopefully we will pick it up tomorrow afternoon after work.

Im working ont the pics =)

Is this a track only car? The reason i ask is because i saw the great deal on those K members then saw a lot of people saying it was not very beefy and wouldn't be ideal for street use. So i contacted QA1 and they said the exact thing that abuse for cornering and pot holes etc. would take a toll on it.

There is a lot of bad S/C mustangs out there man.

Ran into another problem with the dang k-member. The stock bolt that goes into the a-arm did not fit in the qa1 a arm, fine thread:mad:.

So i'll run to the hardware store tomorrow and try to find the right one.

I did get the dust boot out of the struts and mocked the C/O, hopefully i'll mount them tomorrow :D

Why? Nothing against you, but your Turbo is making 22psi and 336awhp. I know the stock Evo turbos are pretty whimpy, but a s/c Mustang can perform just as good a turbo stang.

I will agree though, theres something about a Turbo that is sick. If I had the money, I absolutley would have bought a single turbo setup. Too expensive though.

Yea for sure, I hope it stays like that too. I dont see you having any fitment issues with the piping or anything like that, just a few things from the K-member swap...keep us posted man
