I'm still trying to figure out why those things are so damn expensive.


As for mods, I'll probably try and do rims and tires next. Then start on the suspension

Willing to bet that a stock driveshaft from Ford would be more expensive.

Maybe but $800 seems a little pricey.

You're going to the wrong place if you're getting quoted 800 for a DS. :)

Call David at Shaftmasters and you'll get great customer service, a great product, and a d/s with no NVH much cheaper than that

I'd like to get some springs, struts , mounts and a sway bar or save the cash for a down payment on a next gen. Should know in about 6mths. FI would be next on the list and a daily beater.

Ordering a set of 18" by 10" sve drifts with nitto tires tomorrow. Springs, panhard, struts/shocks, and miscellaneous is next at Christmas for a 1" or 1.5" drop - haven't decided yet.

Y'all think 10" wide wheels on the front will stick out bad, or if at all?

Looks like i cracked a piston during a 5th gear pull on the freeway. Getting white smoke and way too much blow by. e85 and stock fuel pump not so good.

Good news is I did not window the block, so I can re use it. Will pull it out and send it to MMR for their 1000hp setup.

New fuel system and clutch as well. Should be good for a while after this.

Driver Side for sure, So I am guessing 8.

I will pull the plugs soon and take a look.

Funny thing other than smoke, You can't really tell. It still drives normal, no sounds of any kind and no check engine light. It dumped half a quart of oil through the breather though.

Barely any. At Idle there is like 5% extra vibration you can kind of feel it.

Well that was quick Kane. You could have gotten a lot of money out of your intact stock motor. Good luck with the rebuild.

Anywho my next mod I am indecisive about either doing Koni ST.Ts or Yellows. (nearly $1000 vs $500)

I've considered those as well however they cost the same as Koni so it would be a wash as far as cost is considered. I am more familiar with Koni as far as the brand goes.

Same thing mine did. Mine doesn't even smoke. Just a ton of crankcase pressure. Compression is down on 3 cyl. I was looking at the MMR 1000 build as well but I am nervous about using them.

If you call on the corral.net there are a bunch of guys that tell horror stories about them.

Ended up getting a set of brand new '14 California Special wheels/tires. They look great! - even though they aren't very performance oriented.

I've got a used pair of FRPP / Boss 302S lower control arm relocation brackets and a new pair of CHE LCAs to put on this week. I'll see if I can get it to hook any harder with a fresh pair of 20" DRs and shoot for an untuned 11.x pass. I doubt it will happen but we'll see, lol.

With good weather and a hook I think it is possible and would be a great achievement IMO.
