Well, here's my latest update....
As of now, the 99 is in dispose. After having fuel gremlins and the car breaking down on my twice in about 2 weeks, I have decided to park it for the time being. The new plan is to finish my Ramcharger by the first of the year (as long as I dont need knee surgery, which isnt looking promising at this point) and starting a total rebuild of the 99. Eight years of abuse have certainly taking a toll on her (which she handled like a champ and probably should have given out a long time ago).
The shock/struts. springs, strut brace, and wheels will make their way onto the 95 since it will probably be my autox car for next season.
The 99 will get new springs, shocks/struts, rebuilt motor, rebuilt fuel system, rebuilt brake system, 3.55 gears, extensive bodywork. Basically a full restoration, which is less then she deserves. Plus once its done, she will have the easy life being a trailer queen.
The motor will be a 3.8 built to ESP specs which are limited but do allow headers, any intake and a few other mods here and there. Im hoping to get near 220-230 rwhp but that may be asking alot.
Part collecting has already begun. I have purchased springs already

and

My hope is to have all this done within the next year in time for the 2014 season. Based on my track record with getting this done, I guess we shall see

I got my new springs the other day. They are 1289 lb fronts and 568 lb rears. Here's the 1289 compared to my frpp springs. Should lower the car pretty good and make it ride like crap. Can't wait

Swapped wheels one the Mustangs today. Figured since the black one is out of commision for the time being, no reason to leave the nice wheels one it. Plus I planned for these wheels to end up on this one as well.
Anyway, went for a little drive downtown and shot a few pictures

So with my tax returns, I'm gonna get an exhaust for the 95. I'm either going with a mac prochamber or an o/r h-pipe. I would like to throw some longtubes on as well. I'm somewhat stuck on the mufflers though. I know it will already be loud, but being a convertible, I don't want mufflers that are going to make it super loud.
The only experience I have is with the magnflows on my V6. I may go with those again, but I'm looking for some suggestions on mufflers.
Hopefully this, springs and shock, and brake upgrades will be done by the end on the month.

Borlas sound good. If I've heard them before installingthe Flows in mine I would've put those.

Gonna go with the stingers. I'm not sure if I'm gonna get the h-pipe right now or not, depends on what I come across. But those stingers sound awesome.
Thanks guys.

I was watching some videos, and most of the exhaust I heard was just to common and boring to me. They sound good, but then I saw one with stingers and a TFS top end kit, and that one sounded freakin awesome.
Which also means I'm eventually gonna have to get the top end kit as well.
