Arin,

Lookin' good! Are we going to get any sound clips any time soon? Maybe after the blower? (hint, hint)

BTW, looking at the side shots, are you missing some trim there, or did you remove that for smoother lines after fill and paint?

doh! i knew i forgot something (soundclips) well ill try and get to that soon. i was gonna just do a video, but my camera is elsewhere.

and for the "trim" well that was a rubber/chrome door gaurd thing and it was terrifyingly ugly so i took it off, and didnt realize till a little bit too late that they were riveted in. ahh well, ill get it filled when i decide to repaint it.

and as for that tow hitch? well as wrong as this may sound, i think its kinda funny that a mustang, and a V6 at that, had a tow hitch. its staying lol. little things that make no sense like that hitch make me love this car even more.

seeing your car makes me want to buy a II.


well i wouldn't really consider the sound of your car intimidating... but im sure the blower will help that.

ehh, its the camera. i used the video function on my regular digicam, camcorder is unavailable. so its alot less loud than it is in person

that and your volume obviously isnt high enough [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

lol ok i'll have to turn it up.

But the loudness isn't why i say that....its the tone that the exhaust makes.

Don't feel bad that it doesn't sound like a V8. Once you add the blower it'll use the full extent of your 2" exhaust system!

and I love your car!! just remember you can never have II much horsepower!

i dont feel bad about it lol, i love that sound.

although i have a feeling that it will liven up once i can get the blower installed. the stock 2.8L may not be fulfilling enough for the glasspacks... which will soon change [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.gif[/img]

curse my lack of money to pay for labor!

Nice video!

Now you're going to have to do a "before and after" when the blower gets installed! [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/04.gif[/img]

i dont think that would have happend, as soon as i got it to pass the 6000RPM mark i let off the gas, and i dont usually take it past 4K, crusing at 40mph in 4th gear is about 2800 so it should be good.
