New guy from Colorado.

I never really thought my car was something to show off really... but after I figured my car may be worthy enough of a Showcase/Build thread... I know it can't hold a candle to several cars on here... she's mine, I love her, and she will be in my family for a WHILE. But anyways.... here goes.

The Owner: Kevin, 23 years old, newly Married. Stationed at Ft. Carson, Colorado. Originally from Nashville, Tennessee.

The Ride: A Satin Silver 2005 Ford Mustang GT Coupe, 5 speed, with alot of small bolt-ons. The one thing I am proud of most with this car, other than the fact that it's my first REAL performance car... is that everything from cleaning the windows, detailing, oil changes, suspension work, and EVERYTHING else, even the tuning, was done by me. And that is something I take pride in.

The goods:

Steeda Ultra-Lite Springs.
Tokico DSpec Shocks in the front, Lakewood 50/50 drag shocks in the rears.
Steeda Lower and Upper rear control arms, non-adjustable.
Spec Stage 2+ Clutch and Fidanza Flywheel.
AEM Brute Force intake, stock MAF.
CMCV Deletes.
GT500 Throttle Body.
Hurst short throw Billet Plus shifter with Hurst T-handle ****.
Bassani Modular X Pipe with the high flow cats installed. Stock mufflers, stock headers.
SCT XCal2 with my own tunes.
30% window tint, also done by me.
Stoptech Stainless brake lines
EBC Greenstuff Pads

Enough chat and technical banter... on with the pics. (NOTE: Some pics were taken BEFORE suspension was done, some afterwards)








Where I spend alot of my free time, after ordering parts... the craft shop:








And a video while I was driving... playing with my buddy Sonny's 06 STi...

Anything you wanna know... just ask.

My future plans as it is right now: All bolt ons from here on out, are as they will be for a WHILE... I plan on during the time I am serving in Iraq, and save money for the following parts:

~Kenne Bell, Whipple, or ProCharger supercharger
~Heads and head work... new valves, springs, locks and retainers. Ported and polished.
~Comp cams for a GREAT power gain, and a more aggressive Idle.
~Wheels and tires, Shelby American Racing Razors caught my eye when they first came out, and those are the ones I have my heart set on.
~GT500 front clip conversion, without the snake/cobra badges.
