Caker's Mustang

[CrazyCaker]

I'm in love! :D

Ahhh... what car did I use to drive again??? I've totally forgot about it already LMAO.

Pics to come shortly.

Black Stallion FTW! :)

[kevcol74]

Good thing you got leather so its easier to clean your seats every time you drive it now! :P

(and I don't mean from crumbs....)

[RicecookerP5]

congrats on the new car

[CrazyCaker]

^ Thanks man.

I'll post better pics when I have time.

[dead_cactus]

Nice! Needs different wheels though.

[CrazyCaker]

I actually really like the wheels. The pic doesn't do them justice and it's hard to even see them since it's grainy and dark.

[pro5dippin]

i love the wheels very old school. ur dad seen the beast yet.

[CrazyCaker]

not yet... making him wait til tmrw lol.

[pro5dippin]

haha... who's allowed to drive it lol.

[CrazyCaker]

Oh he can drive it, I have no issues with that. Hell I've already let my sister inlaw rip around in it. It's a car.

[quick.msp]

How does it compare to your p5?
acceleration? handling? don't know much about mustangs.

[CrazyCaker]

blows the p5 away, even with all the mods. but there's really no comparing the two. the acceleration is ridiculous, it's a torque monster. and the handling with mine is just awesome with the upgraded suspension package. honestly I can drive this harder then the p5 and it just keeps asking for more. first mod on the stang will be upgrading the brake pads tho. they really cheaped out there, the oem pads fade like crazy.

[thekid]

^ If you upgrade the brakelines, make sure you get a proven set, I've heard of some that aren't long enough if you really hamer on the brakes and the back end gets fully unloaded.

[CrazyCaker]

^ Thanks for the info! I'll likely do the lines as well. But pads will hopefully make a big difference. I'd hate to see how the oem pads perform on the track, makes me scared just thinking about it. If I can notice the fading that badly just on the streets, something needs to be done.

[CrazyCaker]

I was fooling around a bit with the TC turned off on the way to work. Had a few good times where the back end tried to get away from me :p But it will take a bit to get use to for sure. I've already used 1/2 tank of gas lol and only had it for a few hours.

[RicecookerP5]

:lol: you crazy mofo, don't break your new shit! shouldn't you be breaking in the motor.

[CrazyCaker]

^ Best part is it's already been broken in! :) The GM at the dealership had been driving it.

I also managed to squeeze free oil changes out of them (and it appears to be for life!! SWEET! Written right in the contract.), winter mats, and complete professional detailing (gotta drop it off Monday for that).

[RicecookerP5]

sweet! nice werk

[Mike_Moss]

what was it out the door? curious.

Joe, let me know what you want to name the thread and i'll split all the 'stang talk to a new club project thread.

[CrazyCaker]

^ No need to do that. I can start a thread when the fun stuff starts this summer. Already talked about the first question to you in PM.

[cruisinblackp5]

Let me know when you are doing your brakes, I gotta do mine too. The rotors are kinda crap too, they warp a little quick on a slow down from serious speed

[kevcol74]

Do they warp when you hammer the gas with the brakes on? Oh, wrong thread.... :P

[cruisinblackp5]

Do they warp when you hammer the gas with the brakes on? Oh, wrong thread.... :P

Nah, they are cool with that, they'll hold the car in place but hot stops do it pretty easily, i think they are just too small

[thekid]

The guy i know who tracks his GT, upgraded to a BBK, not sure which one, but I could find out if you need to know.

[CrazyCaker]

Wow I just read some of the owners manual and found out it has a sport mode for the TC. haha. Got to press the TC button twice quickly to put it in that mode. Haven't played with it yet tho. I guess sometimes it's good to read manuals :p

[CrazyCaker]

The guy i know who tracks his GT, upgraded to a BBK, not sure which one, but I could find out if you need to know.

Yes please do! The brakes definitely need something.

[kevcol74]

Get a nice CAI with the computer flash, 20+ HP right there quick Joe... and I reccomend a MAC axle back... :P Easy starters.... but I'm sure you will know what you want and run with it! lol


<- Makes me feel better about my avatar now! :D

[Mike_Moss]

I'm enjoying this. It feels like I've got a new car too. LOL

Pls2mod! (& I don't even need to get my hands dirty!)

[CulRidr]

Hey Joe, a guy in our local club is also building up a black GT. Not sure if you can see this or not without being a member, but there is some extra info and ideas on certain products. The guy isn't really all that knowledgeable, but you may get an idea or two from the thread itself:

Just dont get a Diablo, no one in Canada deals with them so if theres ever an issue, its abitch. Grab an SCT.

Oh and take off that pipe from the motor to cabin

I thought steeda.ca does diablo? They are in milton, I've delt with them before. Painless process although I've never done dyno tuning with them.

The steeda butchers use SCT now, I believe their old tuning guy that went through all the training for Diablo and SCT is gone and the Owner Pat fakes like he knows what hes doing

[evil_y2k_twin]

Mustang yay! I love driving my brothers Gt, so much fun! Then i get in my 1.6 and cry about no power..lol

[CrazyCaker]

First mod for the Stang :)

LOVE the fact I can tune and all I simply have to do is have it plugged into the OBDII port. Sosososo sick.

I'm not really concerned with having anyone in the GTA know how to use it. Hell, no one in the GTA knew how to use the MicroTech either. I am a DIY kind of guy anyways, and prefer not to have any so called "pros" touch my cars.

The 2010 GT already has a CAI stock. And an axle back doesn't cut it for me, no offense. I'll be doing full exhaust. Just doing research on that now actually and seeing if a 4" downpipe is what I'm going to need ;).

[kevcol74]

^ That new for 2010, or part of your "Track Pack"?

[CrazyCaker]

^ New for 2010.

The Track Pack included 2 piston front calipers, 3.73 (8.8) LSD, upgraded sway bars, front strut tower bar, modified setting for TC, and improved shocks/struts, and SVT rear lower control arms.

[Mike_Moss]

All that for $599 USD! (shipped!) :)Sick mod, but coulda hooked ya up on that. ;)

edit: can we get a Mustang section tho? ;)

edit2: Maybe even a redirect for something like TOstang.com hahaha :p

General Auto should be good.

As for redirects, it's in the works. LOL

Lol... that's asking a lot from me! Maybe I can get the wife to take a few with her slr :p. Funny thing is that it's actually in getting detailed right now.

he'll take a few more of the stang but just to rub it in.

[kz9]

Glad to see you found something you like. I love mustangs, but nothing after 93.

I always wanted to do an all motor 351 in a 93' cobra. Totally stock looking, totally sleeper.

[Shasta]

I like the wheels too, very nice car.

That would just be wrong to modify a 93 Cobra with a 351W!! Its a beast already out of the box!
If you are talking a GT Cobra, well, go nuts there! :P

[starscream]

Grats man! Looks nice! You gonna make any parts for the stang (in carbon fibre?) I know a few that would be interested. My neighbour works @ Ford and does alot of parts and modifications on stangs. Primo market right there!

We have quite a few 'stangs in the club now...

[CrazyCaker]

I already have. Last year we did a hood and trunk for Cruisinblack's '06 Stang. The '10 is a bit different body then the 05-09 but I'm sure I'll be doing something.

[Scooter]

when is the speaker going under the hood?

[AKRISONER]

Dont forget your wings west wing either.

[CrazyCaker]

The only thing going under the hood is a pair of turbos. :)

No exterior mods, except maybe a carbon hood.

Yes! H&R actually has a project 2010 Mustang GT themselves. :) http://www.hrsprings.com/press/2010-ford-mustang-gt-premium-by-hr-special-springs-lp/


Think I'm going to be ordering a set of race spec springs for mine. Part # 51657-88.

http://www.hrsprings.com/scripts/appguide.php?Mode=Application+Guide&SubMode=Find2&Year=2010&ModelID=191&q=2010%20%7C%20Ford%20%7C%20Mustang%20GT

I''ll also be considering their sway bars as well.

[thekid]

^ I'll shoot you some pricing on the H&R springs in a bit

[Diddy]

congrats joe! i didn't realize you made a thread about it.....

i'm interested to see a cowl hood in CF for the car =)

[CrazyCaker]

congrats joe! i didn't realize you made a thread about it.....

Thanks Eric. I'm going to have to make an entire new mold for a hood on the 2010. I'm waiting to see if the 2011 will be the same or not, I'm assuming it will be though, before starting on it.

edit: oh, and I didn't make a thread about it... Moss did :p

[CrazyCaker]

^ I'll shoot you some pricing on the H&R springs in a bit

Please do. :)

Also waiting on pricing still for the Diablosport Trinity tuner.

good stuff joe....

and hey....if u ever decide to make a cowl hood for 05-09 (in FG is fine) let me know...i'd be interested

[CrazyCaker]

^ I have the Eleanor style hood that Mark is using, and the trunk as well, for the 05-09s. I can do them in both FG or CF.

[CrazyCaker]

The "Mammoth" kit from Kennebell is ***king tempting!!! Straight bolt on, and you instanely have 750+ rwhp.

edit: and the Stage 2 (rated for over 500+ rwhp) works with stock internals... Hmmmmmmmm

[burlingtonprotege]

sounds like a pretty easy decision to me pending that the cost of the kit isnt around the value of the car like it is for us proteges.

[CrazyCaker]

^ Parts are a fraction of the cost compared to what Protege parts go for. You can get a high performance intake mani for under $500... compared to $1000 for a sheet metal intake mani for the Pro. Not to mention the gains with every mod are much more as well.

[CulRidr]

It kinda helps when you have ~three times the displacement for those mods to take effect on :P

[CrazyCaker]

You know what they say... there's no replacement for displacement ;)

[RicecookerP5]

you'd be lighting up the rear tires with a blip of the throttle. awesome!!!

[Diddy]

^ I have the Eleanor style hood that Mark is using, and the trunk as well, for the 05-09s. I can do them in both FG or CF.

yeah i know....but im lookin for a functional cowl hood (one that actually has an open scoop)....

[CrazyCaker]

^ like the GT500's? ;)

If I can get my hands on one, and trust me I will try, I will be making one in cf.

MMMMMMM Mammoth. Ive been eyeing that too

[CrazyCaker]

MMMMMMM Mammoth. Ive been eyeing that too

I'm liking it more and more. I could run 9-12 psi on the kit until that gets boring and then simply build a motor and then run the 25+ psi :p

It would be a lot less headaches then going custom twins.

[Diddy]

like this one dude....with a functional "reverse" scoop facing the driver:

http://www.cruizinconcepts.com/images/bodykits/mustang/2005/05upmustangcowlhood_lg.jpg

[CrazyCaker]

^ You need a 3" cowl? I hope you have plans for a huge SC going in there!

True, Im still torn between adding turbos, N20 or just switching the SC to a bigger better one. Im still waiting for SMS to show off there new one is they get it out for the 4.6

[Diddy]

^ You need a 3" cowl? I hope you have plans for a huge SC going in there!

well i should be happy with a 2.5" cowl....but yes SC is definitely in the plans within the next couple years =)

[cruisinblackp5]

OH shit, another boosted stang. Cant wait to see that one

[Mike_Moss]

Please do. :)

Also waiting on pricing still for the Diablosport Trinity tuner.Didn't I send you pricing?

[CrazyCaker]

Didn't I send you pricing?

Nope. We talked about your hood. Which is basically done btw. :p

[Spin_E!]

hahahahahahahahaha I talked to this guy like maybe two weeks ago and he was telling me how he was gonna hold off modding this thing for the next year at least.. AS IF!!!! Face it you're an ADDICT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

[CrazyCaker]

hahahahahahahahaha I talked to this guy like maybe two weeks ago and he was telling me how he was gonna hold off modding this thing for the next year at least.. AS IF!!!! Face it you're an ADDICT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! LOL

No no no, I was just refering to the twin turbo build, not modding in general. :p

[cruisinblackp5]

Watch out on the Mammoth though, I think you'd be tossing belts all day at 25psi, 15 no problem but at 25 I think you better keep some stock

[CrazyCaker]

^ so keep it at 24psi then? :p That likely won't be happening until next summer neways, but who knows how things may go. I may get antsy and just have to have it sooner LOL.

[cruisinblackp5]

at 10psi you will be fine, any higher and theres a bunch of stuff you'll be doing before upping the boost and belts will be the least of your worries, Im just not so sure Id like a 8 rib belt with that much tension on and off to prevent the slip. Maybe they will make a10 or 12 rib set up for it

[pro5dippin]

No no no, I was just refering to the twin turbo build, not modding in general. :p


that sounds like the well rehearsed statement of an addict.

[FairmontPhil]

Congrats on the purchase :)
Now Join www.GTAMC.com :P

[Winnay]

Were you at 403/Dundas Timmies doing massive burnouts on Monday the 15th? lol

[CrazyCaker]

No wouldn't have been me. I'm not in that area, and I wouldn't do burn outs either.

[Matjas23]

i wouldn't to if i had a mustang :plol.

[CrazyCaker]

Figured I post a pic. I'm gonna try to post at least 1 a year, I think my P5 got a total of 3 over 7 yrs :p. Still don't miss the P5T at all, and haven't even moved it from my driveway since January (actually I haven't even sat in it) lol.

That was on his P5, was jokes! Now it makes more sense since the car has the balls to back it up.

[non_event]

Nice car, and that is a great license plate.

[kuhl]

sick car and plates!!lol

[CrazyCaker]

Thanks guys. The car is awesome, its a blast to drive and handles amazingly. I've had those plates now for almost 8 yrs. I tend to have a habit of showing up late to everything so my wife got them for me as a gift lol.

[CrazyCaker]

I put modding my cars on the back burner for now and decided that modifying firearms was much more fun, not to mention they also hold their value much better and a lot of times actually appreciate in value lol.

Just finished this one on the weekend, matches my Stang :p lol. I also have a scope mounted on it but I took the pic before I had drilled and tapped the receiver for the mount.

Norinco SKS
- Tapco T6 stock w/ weaver rails
- ATI feather lite bi-pod
- Murray's spring loaded firing pin
- Tapco deluxe fore grip
- Tapco butt pad
- Choate scope mount

I started working another one now. Its much more relaxing seeing as I can do it all on my work bench and I don't have to crawl under anything and get covered in oil and shit, but it isn't any cheaper! Lol

[FunkRider]

Aftermarket parts usually fit better for that stuff too, no?

[Brian MP5T]

If you want to impress the girls.. Get a Macmillan Tactical .50

[CrazyCaker]

Aftermarket parts usually fit better for that stuff too, no?

Yes they do, and in some cases even better then orginal parts.

[CrazyCaker]

If you want to impress the girls.. Get a Macmillan Tactical .50

lol, I do plan on getting a .50 eventually. However, the cost of one is about the same as going turbo on an na protege :p then you also have the ammo cost. So until I get a reloading press and learn to make my own ammo, which I'm in the process of doing, I'll have to hold off lol.
