Finally making a thread for the car that you all hate, our 5.0 Fox Mustang.

Here's the latest video:


In this video we took the car to Drift Day. Alex just got our roll cage in and it definitely made the car feel more solid. We still have stock steering angle and no LSD which blows. Alex helped us confirm that we need to address the non-linear steering and we're probably going to change the front spring rate before the next event.

Considering the shape the car is in right now it's still pretty fun. I'll be posting the updates in this thread and all the old stuff can be seen at www.drift50.com

Dude I love it. Great to see something other than a Nissan on here!

Paint it something NOT gay, that black one above is pretty nice.

Sounds beefy as shit.

When the rear end's loose, the car's fast. Loose is fast, and on the edge you're out of control.

I really liked the copper color of the silk road s13 before it got painted in menudo theme.
That's the sound of a 170k mile stock 5.0 with 4 cats, no muffler and a side exit exhaust biggrin

And how. I'd really like something that looks like the '69 or '05 front end.
Oh yeah, Giant wing for sure.

all wrong.
dont attempt to make it "look like it's japanese"
make it look good. clean. all new shit.
dont try and adapt the "s13 bell bottom style" to a mustang.
everytime that style is adapted to anything other than an s13 it sucks.
people dont know it, but it sucks.

The one S13 style part we will need are some fender flares. Other than that we hope to make it look pretty different.

+1

The guys at Maier Racing are really good guys with a ton of body parts/panels for Fox Bodies. Highly recommended.

Look in to subframe braces if you don't have them already. Whenever you win the lottery, but sure to call the guys at Griggs Racingand pick up their entire GR40 kit.

Too bad you didn't post this about a month ago. My friend had a fully built 331ci bottom end for sale for super fucking cheap.
