How's the mgw compared to the old shifter? I'm really thinking of getting a mgw.

 

Worlds better than the Steeda. So much smoother and more precise!

 

my sentiments exactly

 

Got to work early today, so while I was waiting on the advisor to get here to open the shop I took a few pics





Visually, my mods are done. Only things I'm gonna do is retint it and repaint the front bumper and the peel spot. I'm a fan of the stock hood so that's staying.

Mod-wise is nothing new. Unless you count new axle bearings and seals as a mod lol

 

Looking great!

 

Nice, clean and mean

 

My parents are shipping my spare Teksid block and Cobra crank I've had in storage out in California. Over time the next year or so I'll be building my N/A motor. Once I secure a new daily driver (looking at Contour SVTs and Focus SVTs), the Cobra will be on a weight loss and handling mod program

Tentative engine plans:
- .020 over Teksid block
- 10:1 compression
- '03/'04 9 thread heads, ported and polished
- short runner Mach 1 intake
- Comp 106100 cams

Suspension is up in the air but with Steeda about 4 hours south of me, I have a feeling they will be a heavy influence in my suspension choices

And yes, my black interior swap will be finished soon lol.

 

Nice!!

 

Trying to find 4.30 gears is a ***** now that Ford Racing has stopped making them

 

Your engine plans are pretty much the same as mine for the '00 once I get around to her. Want to build a nice streetable, legal, N/A 4v.

 

Gonna ref the conversion?

 

Ref?

 

Take it to the smog ref and make it fully legal

 

I have places I can go...

Just meant that I'll probably go with a catted X and mild tune.

 

Nice. I just took the expensive approach to avoiding smog - moved to a state without emissions

 

Honestly I might not be that far behind you...so over this state!!

 

new seatage

these suckers popped up on Craigslist this past sunday for an even trade for black leather stockers. One has a factory non power track, the other a custom track that gives better legroom. Tomorrow I'm gonna put the custom track in the drivers side and test it out

better pics tomorrow

 

Excellent should be a lot more manageable in the twisties

 

Sweet! Now to get rid of the rest of the peanut butter.

 

working on it, getting a black center console this weekend
