New Mustang for me. Turbo Car is gone....

[Ackbar00]

Well, some people might remember my old Reef Blue Turbo 93 GT. Had the car for 17 years and it was fun while it lasted, but I just was not driving it much. Seems like it was always broke or I was upgrading it. In the past 3 years I think I put less than 200 miles on it. So I put it up for sale/Trade.

Old Turbo Car, ended up going to the New York area:

And here is what I got. 2004 OW Kenne Bell Mach 1.

Had some things I liked, and some I didnt, so I spent the last few weeks working on it. Here is the final product:

New Brakes and rotors
Calipers Painted
UPR Lower Control Arms
New Quadrant, firewall adjuster and cable
New "Cold Air"
Speedhut Boost gauge
American Muscle Lowering Springs (Raising in this case)
Cleaned up the amp wiring
Raptor Dual Stage Shift Light
SCT 3015 (Getting tuned next week)
MGW Shifter and Ford Racing knob
New Floor Mats
Painted stubby Antenna Black
New Kensun HiD’s6000k
new coilpack covers in black
New radiator cover

Whoa! You have a nice runner there!

Looks great, love the fact you got rid of some of those skulls, it was a bit overdone. Having them just on the Valve covers looks great though IMO. Any plans for a power adder, bit of a downgrade in power from the hatch to the mach.

^^^ Did you not see the blower under the scoop? I would say it has some power.

As If the KB isn't enough?

Car looks great OP! :beer:

 

[gabe1530]

awesome transformation with just a few small changes. whats next on the mod list?

 

[luke1333]

stock motor? and if so what is it making?


i want a kb or eaton on my mach but i want stock shaker air tube so you can see front snout guessing that isnt possible huh?

 

[mystickb1996]

Do you know what it makes? Stock motor or built? Looks like a non ic kb setup, a meth kit goes a long ways on these to gain power and run cooler... Nice car man

 

[pho_phizzat]

Sick!


Makes me miss my ole mach....

 

[Andrew03Mach]

I don't like the skulls but the rest still looks good. I wish you could still buy that KB kit outright for the Mach.

 

[Ackbar00]

Was claimed 470 at 6 psi non-IC. From what I have read of Mach 1's with PD blowers, it seems very plausable. He told me the feshened short block invloved new rings, chains, tensioners, gaskets, etc. Seems to run well, but is going in for dyno tuning this Thursday, Ill post up the results then.

Its not that I didnt like the skulls, I just thought it was overdone. Very happy toning them down a bit with a new stock radiator cover and black COP covers.

mannnnnnn, I would have kept the fox but I'm biased.


Change up them wheels on the Mach and it will look a million times better, IMO.

 

[TClark22]

those wheels gotta go

 

[Andrew03Mach]

On second thought, I would probably swap out the wheels as well

 

[BlksvtCobra01]

Looks good Akbar I remember seeing your Turbo fox at Kil Kare test and tune a couple times it was sick. I like the Mach too think I've only ever seen one in white in person congrats. Post up numbers I'd change the wheels as we'll but that's me.

 

[paintless302]

My thoughts exactly. Although, actually, with some spacers they probably would look pretty good for the time being. Its just the offset on them isn't particularly aggressive. It's amazing how much better they look with the car raised up a bit, doesnt draw as much attention to the poor offsets.

OP, nice job cleaning that thing up. At first i was like; oh god, what have they done to the engine bay..

 

[triple-s]

How did he get the gauge lights blue? I like it.

 

[Ackbar00]

From looking at the pics, I was convinced the wheels were the first things to go. However, they really do look a lot better in person. Rear allready have a small spacer on it, any more, and Ill have to convert it to 3 inch wheel studs. Might change them to F14's with next years bonus.

The boost gauge is a Speedhut, its backlight already. The rest of the cluster, I put some blue LED's in it. I followed this guide:
