Who has got a Ford Pony... Mustang people

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Man zoodiver, you have got me stricken with jealousy! I love the body kit on the roush stangs, looks beautiful. Any interior pics of that thing? Do they change anything for the roush models inside?

I'm wanting to build a roush style vert with what I've got. I say style because I'm not gonna go get badging etc to make people think I've got something I don't, but if a body kit is available that looks similar, better believe I'm gonna make my car look the way I want lol.

Aside from body mods, I'd love to throw an M-112 or a T3-T4 on there and make some umph. I need my rear end locked up first. With the little bit I have done to it I already can't catch any traction till 3rd. Believe it or not. I'm still astounded by how this hunk o junk runs lol

If you do T3/T4 you'll want two in order to move enough air.
Only some Roush models got full interior swag. Roush leather seats, floor mats, carbon fiber dash trim, short throw, billet stuff are options.

Zoodiver, are you on any of the v6 forums? I swear I've seen your car before. I use to drive a 2000 v6.

I'm on most of them. That car tends to be known in the V6 world and the Roush world. It drew a lot of attention back in the day when I first setup the M112... mostly because people said it wouldn't work, and when it did come together it blew most of the "rules" out of the water.

Zoodiver, LilRoush?
That m112 v6 looks strikingly familar haha

I have been known to go by both names. :D
 
Sorry to thread jack so much but I wanna keep this one going so I can see and learn as much as possible from and about the members ponies on here.Here is probably my favorite little mod that you get to enjoy everytime it gets dark out...Before:

This was only about $20 in LED's from Superbrightleds.com. Great site with really quality products!
 
So zoodiver, how hard was that m-112 install? Was the performance gain worth it or was it more of a bragging rights gain? Would you do it again or go another route? And curious, what kind of psi are you running and what type of numbers are you putting out?
 
I did the M112 for me only (to start with). It was to make up the low end tq I didn't have on the race track. It was costing me dearly having the car fall on it's face out of corners while I watched Porsche/Audi/Vettes/Vipers leave me. I could keep up in the corners and had most beat in the braking departments.

After several years of fine tuning, someone who knows their stuff can have it installed in less than 3 hours. Fuel pump upgrade is the hardest part.

My intakes for customers with stock (or close to stock motors) have all made double stock hp when used correctly. Most of the cheap knock offs and 'home made' attempts to copy mine have either failed or made a gain of less than 100 hp. At it's peak, my car was pushing 18 psi and flirting with 600 rwhp (on a built 4.2L motor).
 
Wow, that sounds really nice haha. I think bc of my budget(little to nothing haha) I'm gonna do my free and cheap mods first. Next thing I'm gonna do is custom tubular strut braces, full length frame connectors, torque box braces, and a cage. That's the free part. Then the cheap part will be some take off 17" wheels, and a decent set of tires. I want my car to handle the power before I get it lol. I'm wanting to go FI, but with ca smog laws and all motor car might be a better option. If I lived in a better state for performance mods I could do a turbo with a mega squirt for real cheap.
