That is an awesome deal! Stupid SoCal deals... :rant: They need something like that up here! Not that I can afford it right now, but still...

Jed told us about this already. :rofl2:

In fact, I think he's thinking about getting gears. Finally.

:doh: Oh well.

Something tells me the price of gear oil, and labor will more than make up for the cost of the "free" gears. Maybe I'm just being cynical.:devil:

Which is why I didn't sign up for it. I'm just not a believer in a free lunch, especially when it comes to auto mechanics.

If that was the case, then that would truly suck... Cause otherwise, what's the point?! Either way, since it's in SoCal, I can't take advantage of it anyway... But if a 'true' deal like that came across up here, I'd probably jump on it... That's one of the few performance mods I still really want to do...

Part of the reason I haven't gotten it done yet (besides the price) is I don't know who to trust when it comes to gears... I have heard a ton of horror stories... Everyone says they can do an awesome job, yet it seems only a few can actually deliver...

Anyone want a banned xbox 360 for $100?

The other biggie for me is that with the 3.55s traction is questionable at best in lower gears. Going to 4.10s or 3.73s would just be silly I think at this power level.... Silly but a lot of fun :burnout:

X-Box.... I'm still holding out for the PS3 just so I can have Blu-Ray. :shame:

I'm N/A, so gears for me is a must at some point, especially since it's an auto with the 3.31 gears! I don't ever plan on going F/I, so the power I have now will be the same... I'm good with that... :)

I would love to do a S/C or Turbo, but it's not in the budget on this Mustang... You all seem to have a money tree... I have a money bush... ;)

And when/if I get gears, it'll probably be 3.73's... I don't need anything super crazy... Just better than 3.31's!

I am still debating on holding off all mods to this car, taking the money and saving it to buy an '08 or '09 Cobra in a couple years... I miss the manual transmission and if I am going to trade/sell my car, I want to upgrade... :)

How the hell do you even have any traction at all. Maybe the tires are getting old on mine but lately if I try any serious throttle in first it just spins.

PS3 FTW!! I love my PS3!

Thought it was Gary making the post, whoops. I probably should actually read the post than just react to it :rofl2:

Gotta get the PS3. If things hold together I'll finally be able to go HD early next year :rolleyes:


Well chumps... off to Santa Monica :puke: to pick up my Sway Bar. No looking towards the drive which I'm sure will suck. But I get to save some bucks, so what the hell.

The girl's face is priceless!

[quote=LEO_06GT;5765380]Anyways..........found this on Socal Stangs. Those of you that haven't done gears might want to jump on this./quote]

I believe Jed said $400 OTD

I wish I could jump on that deal :shame:

I think part of it has to do with the driver :p


Okay... lets not start a :catfight: :jester: :rofl2:

Hope traffic wasn't too bad!

Rant: My rear bumper is on back-order :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: Apparently there was issues with the mold. Earliest date? November 27th :( Even then, there's a slight risk of getting a defective one. Which would eat up more time if that ends up being the case.

Only good news: We get to have another install party for the battery mod :banana:

2k7gtcs 11/18/09 07:36 PM

First ain't so bad. Just feather it.

It 2nd that's a wild ride. And the occasional downshift to third on the freeway where the rear end just wants to break loose at 60mph. That's the scariest one.


God I love it. :metal:


Also it ain't a daily driver neither.

That's what you get for going with a bread bumper. :screwy:

I'd be interested to hear how this turns out.
