100k is pretty good for these. I think that's about when my stocker died. Of course I'm assuming it was the stocker as it looked original. The car was an upper only eaton most of its life too.

I think we ask a lot of them too when we start adding bigger fuel pumps, intercooler pumps, stereos, etc. When my alternator started dying last summer I could barely touch it when I parked the car. Of course after debating I decided to leave my spare at home and the parts store would have had to order me one. So I just watched the voltage while I drove it around until I got home.

Double check the voltage at idle when you install the KMJ. And make sure the dome light doesn't pulse.

Once you upgrade you’ll feel the difference. I did the Y2K Cobra R Brembo kit and it’s a night and day difference over the stock brakes.

Nah, my stock calipers with carbotech pads and high temp fluid could out brake my track tires all day long. There are so many more impactful things to upgrade on a Terminator for better performance.

Because the stock calipers look like shit behind $5,000 CCW wheels. That’s why lol and for $500 it’s a cheap upgrade that looks nice.

Your part of the 1% that tracks these cars. This thing will never see a track, in anyway.

It’s a car to take out on the weekend to shows and something I have wanted for 20 years to look at in the garage lol I hate to say that but it’s the truth. Now when I take it out, it gets beat on don’t get me wrong lol

I would bet 1/2 maybe even 3/4 of the upgrades people do on these cars aren’t required for what they do with them.

Did some ATS brembos with braided lines up front. Huge difference. Can’t wait for the CCWs to get here

Looks great . I really would like to upgrade my brakes. I'm not a fan of the small calipers sitting behind my True Forged Mach 5's. And I honestly think the stock brakes need an improvement. Maybe I'm just use to the awesome brakes on my 19 GT 350. But pushing 700rwhp I feel my current brakes are not enough.

I 100% agree with you that the Brembo upgrade not only looks great, however it will perform amazing. I can assure you that I’ve done a bit of 1/4 mile runs, and even 1/2 mile events in my cars. I’ve had upgraded pads, I’ve upgraded my rotors, I had high temp fluid etc. I never felt to confident in it honestly.

Honestly man I get it. I wanted one of these cars for my entire childhood. I was 11 when they came out. I couldn’t afford one until I was in my 20’s. I got the low mileage coupe so I can stare at her, and bought another one to drive and have fun in. These cars with lower miles are getting harder and harder to find.

You got the car for you, enjoy it how you see fit my friend. Hoping to finish up my coupe so we can go on that cruise!
