Nice Mustang.
>>15052319
Nice fr s

I've been loving that style of aftermarket taillights on the frs/gt86/brz
>>15052153
Yeah a C3, I'm curious what gave it away though.
>>15048594
Good job OP, that is going to look nice for all of about 10 seconds.
New chrome shorty headers and an x-pipe
>>15048594
I got myself one of these for the AW11 I don't own yet. Insurance against the shitty three spoke steering wheels

How easy is doing headers on a 5.0 without pulling the motor?
>>15052319
>Riven
die.
>>15056365
Very easy. Took two people. Total install time accounting for food break was 8.5 hours. I could do it much faster now that I know what I'm doing though.
>>15056437
Interesting, I want to get a 5.0 of my own some day and do a bunch of bolt on mods. That's a bbk shorty, right? Also, why are all the wires out?
Currently replacing everything that isn't the body or the glass.
>>15056468
Headers won't go on with wires in place.
>>15056491
oh now i see i feel silly
I put the blc slap on, and now my rod bearings are migrating into my oil at a pretty fast pace.
still need to pull the pan and see if i can get away with bearings alone.
tfw my I4 sounds like an H4 with unequal length headers

was about to say the same
