Can't find where I hosted the old pics, so here are some new ones.

Thank you, bigdaddyzx3

Fresh clay, wax, and 255/45/17 Kuhmo SPTs on the Mustang Bullit wheels I've had for awhile now.

YES I KNOW she needs a tint and a drop, but new tires were most important :lol:

Hover Car! lolz

Aside from a new fuel pump (old one fried itself the day before Xmas) she also got new Accel coils

Image


And a new silencer-free P71 intake tube w/ adapter to the smaller civilian MAF from Blue Oval Chips (pics of that to come soon).

MAD MAX!

Awesome!! Glad you're on here! :arr:

If CA wasn't such a smog-dictatorship I'd have that setup now.

Oh well, at least I have a Sport. Gotta love the bucket seats and console shifter :p

Although I think I could slip a 5.4 2v w/ mild cams by the smog-patrol. I've only got 78k miles on the car though, the motor's just barely broken in. :D

I love the Mach lip on the Panthers, I might do that after I get the front bumper repainted.

Those wheels look great Kris. Still needs tint/drop :p


And both of my cars seriously need a wash/wax/detail :( Been too busy working on other peoples' cars and doing race car engine swaps :lol:

It's amazing that the Mach lip fits the Panthers better than the Mustang!

After MadMax, I bought a black 03. It was going to be my daily driver. I was planning to do another 5.4 swap, but this time twin turbos under the hood.

Of course, gas prices are what prompted me to sell the 03 and buy the Focus :).

If gas was not an issue nowdays I'd encourage everyone to buy CV. I really like them and I love how opposite mine is compared to my Focus, for better. Yours is very clean and and I like Mustang wheels. Can one be lowered slightly? I'd like to find some nice wide 16's or 17's to fill those muffintop wheel arches.

Yep - my plan is Mercury Marauder coils in front w/ one coil cut, move the air sensor in the back accordingly, Monroe HD shocks, and an Addco rear bar. Should lower it about 1.5", it will sit just perfect then (and handle tons better!!)

Naake makes coilovers for them too (03+) :D :D (QA-1) or you can get custom coils made via a couple manufacturers for cars with rear springs (non-air susp. - or you can ditch the air bags and put coils in, but I like my 'bags' lol)

One day I'll get 17 x 9.5s for the back, but for now I'm happy with my new wheels/tires. Some Marauder guys are running 295s and 315s in the back :p

I definitely like those wheels on it, although putting a bumper guard like Power Surge has on there certainly couldn't hurt either!

It's NOT a P71!! If I wanted an Interceptor, I would have gotten one.

Mine is a P74 - A Crown Vic LX Sport. Basically a Mercury Marauder minus the 4V, the better suspension, matrix driveshaft, and a few body/interior bits.
You should put sirens on it and one of them shotgun holders.

Ceiling Cat needs Kalishna Kitty! :lol:

Nice, i've always wanted to do a CV project. But unfortunately the Mush and the SVO are attention whores and need every amount of attention and $$ I can devote.
