I cheated a little. I have a hot water tap in my garage, so I at least can keep my hands semi-defrosted :p.

Great looking Stang Jeff! What are the specs on the Firebird? How much are you looking to get out of it?

Bridgestone Potenza tires with good tread. Car is in very good condition for it's age. I'll get a pix up eventually :p. We would like $2200 or so for it.

It goes farther on a tank of gas than my Explorer does.....

I just saw the 17/25 and the 15.7 gal tank vs the X's 17.5-21.

I usually go about 330 on a 14 gallon tank :D

04 Mach 1's are supposed to FLY. Drop it 2", take out the horsy in the front and put in a smooth lookin grille.:D

The grill delete is part of what makes the mach cool. Adding a grill would spoil that. Now on the other hand, side exit exhaust... :D

Nearly 400 miles per tank in a 3500lb mid 13 second car isn't too shabby :D

must.....have.....need......V8....
:D

Oh, I didn't notice the grille delete. Nevermind, that's pimp, don't change that.

Ok, it's been a year...the stock Crapyears are about burned off :burnout: so I'm gonna need new tires in the somewhat near future...Since we're talking tires...what about rims too???

Whaddya think....

Charcoal Bullits??

http://www.explorerforum.com/data/503/4156kazeras.gif


or Kazera's?

http://www.explorerforum.com/data/503/4156kazeras.jpg

I really like those stock rims but Bullitts would look great too.

Just noticed the Kazeras, those are my pick, and my opinion is all that matters. Go for it! :D

I say the cazera's. It gives some contrast, and they are just sweet! :D

Gee.. I wonder why the rubber is almost gone.. There's enough rubber on Ferguson Valley Road & Strodes Run road.

bullets can be picked up off the lot... go aftermarket..

Gee.. I wonder why the rubber is almost gone.. There's enough rubber on Ferguson Valley Road & Strodes Run road.


HAHAHAHA you were telling me about that lmao!



Jeff, about the rims, What about black Bullets??

Although I do like the Mach 1 rims too, hell why not some 17" Magnum 500 look-a-likes.






Jeff - :navajo:

Here's the car with black Bullits...And the second pix is with Magnum's...just don't think they look right on the car

Gee.. I wonder why the rubber is almost gone.. There's enough rubber on Ferguson Valley Road & Strodes Run road.

Ya mean this intersection?? :burnout:

My buddy has a black 2000 GT with black bullits and a shaker hood.. and a charger.. anyway, it loooks sweeeet. :cool:

What about the polished 17" Torque Thrust D wheels, the "Deep Dish" ones?

Oooooor what about something like this........


http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/ragansmom/IMG_1692.jpg

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v305/ragansmom/al1.jpg

Me likey.

I'm likin' the Kazera's

What about the polished 17" Torque Thrust D wheels, the "Deep Dish" ones?

Hmmm, have to look into that one tonight....photochop here I come :) No matter what, it's getting Goodyear Eagle F1's on it for tires.

Ya mean this intersection?? :burnout:


Yeah that road loks familiar

Here's my buddy's '00 (at the track). I love this car.

Uummmmmmmmmmm. Whats that in the lower part of the bumper?

Uummmmmmmmmmm. Whats that in the lower part of the bumper?

Looks like either a cold air intake or an intercooler intake....

Two more pix...first is Kazera's again, second is Classic Torque Thrusts ..

http://www.explorerforum.com/data/503/4156kazeras.jpg

Definately these wheels

Wow! they both look great, but (me not being a polished fan though) I really like the polished versions, and I think because:

A) I have seen them on other cars here and they look badass

B) Becuase the pic you chopped seems to have a larger wheel size vs the Classic TT wheel.


Jeff, personally I would chose between those too wheels right there, and actually I would prolly get the polished seeing as though you already have some with the tailpipes and emblems, it would make for a nice contrast.




Jeff - :navajo:

Just putting up a new pix of the beast :D :D

Sweet! I like the Kazera's and black bullitt's. What have you done so far in mods?

Sweeeeeeet. Now that's a cop car. :thumbsup:

Thankfully they don't run police cars like that around here..even the unmarked are still Crown Vic's with an extra antenna...

Posting one more pix...just blacked out the headlights...whaddya think??

Very Nice :D

I Like It!!!

Pic isn't working for me.

Ok, now it works. That looks really good!! But how effective are the headlights now at night?

It doesn't get driven at night....

Ah, very well then. Somehow I knew that.... :D

Went out and got new shoes for the Mach today :D :D. Tires are BFG kdw's..245-45 18's on the front and 275-35 18's on the rear. Wheels are Kazera KZ-A's:

Here's the BFG tread pattern:

Good gosh. I need new shorts.

:droooooool:

'Stang looks great with its new shoes and socks....

I'm sure I'm gonna need new shorts after a ride in it..

are you sure those are 275's they look pretty skinny

are you sure those are 275's they look pretty skinny

Ummmmmm, yeah....I'm sure.... :rolleyes:

they do, i'm being serious, maybe it's just the picture, but they don't look like 275's.

It may be an optical illusion because the exhaust pipes are about 4.5" in diameter. I measured the tires for giggles, and the tread is about 10 7/8" wide.

Its definately an illusion or either Jeff doesn't know how to measure stuff. :D :mattmoon:

They honestly look like 245s or something like that. But then again, that coffee can is quite large too. ;)

OK, for all you "measurement impaired" individuals out there :mattmoon: ,here are some more pix....You can see the rim width in the 3rd pix.

He's lying.. I'll have to do a test drive to verify the tire size. :D :burnout:

OooOOoOooooooo!

I like how they kind of look like Cobras!

Very nice, Jeff! :thumbsup:

I think the Mach need lubed up! ;) :D

i can give it a good hump if it needs some lube, it has two big tail pipes.......wait... :p

Very nice car...of course, I am partial to any '04 black Mustangs. ;)

Here's a picture of my baby....

Nice looking ride there Jeff!!!

Now get Sue's car finished! :p

Nice! Stangs are just so AWESOME! So... where'd your grille go? :p

Started my new job at Best Buy (new store so ALL employees are new) and I was talking with a guy. He's got a Terminator ('03 Cobra). Nice. 509 RWHP. NICE! If it ever stops raining I'll get to drive this beast!

Nice! Stangs are just so AWESOME! So... where'd your grille go? :p ...


On the Mach 1, the grille delete is standard. There's a kit available to do it on any SN-95 platform Mustang.


Nice car Stang Girl....is it all looks or is there some extra "go" added too? :D

Little mods to it right now...Densecharger CAI, SLP catback, Eibach Pro-Kit springs and ported intake for right now. Also car club stickers because everyone knows that stickers give you more horsepower! ;) Subframes and strut tower are next on the list. After that, don't know. Thoughts between spray or supercharger but that's further down the road. This baby is my daily with over 70,000 miles on the original tires. :eek: Maybe tires should be next on the list... ;)

Really like the headlights Jeff, but that's illegal in Texas so I can't do it. :mad:

My grill disappeared a few months ago. I got the Cervini's Stalker Hood along with the Mach I grill delete and chin spoiler. I actually have the pony back on there now. SVO sandblasted it for me and painted it black so it looks pretty stealthy. I did put the license plate back on due to being tired of cops pulling me over for no front plate (stupid law in Texas) :rolleyes: . Ruined the look of the car but a suggestion was made to get the dark license plate cover.

Thanks for the compliments. :D

.....Really like the headlights Jeff, but that's illegal in Texas so I can't do it. :mad: ....


It's illegal here in PA too :rolleyes:, but they're only covers that I can remove in 30 seconds if necessary.

If you're looking for new street tires, look no farther than the BFG KDW's....AWESOME TIRES!!!!!!!!!!!!! I used to be able to spin 20' going into second and 5' into third, now I just chirp second and chirp 3rd if I'm lucky..mucho better traction than the skaterbacks...

Other mods that have done me very well are the Meziere electric water pump and the Diablosport Predator tuner. I gained 11 rwhp with the water pump, and over 40 rwhp with the tuner (all measured on the dyno, I've done about 35 pulls on 3 different dynos now). Right now it's at Ford getting the tranny fixed (again :fire: ) or replaced due to grinding into 1st gear. I'm having a King Cobra clutch/aluminum flywheel installed while it's being done. I've got 10k on my clutch and it's half gone.....guess the stock GT clutch (what they put in from the factory) can't handle the hp...:rolleyes:

Your such a rebel! ;)

Yup he sure is. I think Jeff wants to come to the east coast one day..

Hmmm, considering, considering.... ;) :D

Just thought I'd update with a new pix and the current mod list. Changed wheels again. Went with 17 x 9 and 17 x 10.5 FR-500's wrapped in Sumitomo 275/40-17's on the front and 315/35-17's on the rear.

I like the new wheels much better than the last set. :thumbsup:

Aaaannnddd...I've changed my mind on the wheels one more time..Now back to stock wheels but with Bridgestone Potenza RE-760's on it. 245's on the front and 275's on the rear.

BTW, the Sumitomo's I put on last time....sucked for traction. Tires were cheap, and for a reason. Even with 315's, I couldn't hook the car worth squat. Spun all the way through 2nd and would walk sideways in 3rd.

Does the mach fit thru that bridge?

Does the mach fit thru that bridge?

Yep..that's the bridge back up behind my house. Heck, the F-150 fits through it, and all the lifted Explorers I've messed with/worked on/owned fit through it..

Didn't recognize the bridge.. Been too long.. lol or old age is finally hitting me

Sweet car, looks better with the stock wheels
