2003 Mach 1 build thread **Pics**

the seats look nice. how are they weight and comfort wise? would you reccomend them for DD?

haha thanks man but it doesnt need a whipple it needs twins. got the bottle to add some fun but its still gotta get a viper spec t56, twin disc, built bottom end, and a fuel system before it gets anymore power. theres been comments made about how i could have dumped the money on a built bottom end and a twin screw or single turbo and been fast as **** but i want to built this thing from suspension to driveline and then add the power so its complete. i see too many kb and whipple cars with basically stock suspension and cant imagine they handle the power very well.....just trying to do this right.

agree with you 1000000%. ... my car is getting suspension and brakes...then the big power with aesthetics mixed in throughout the process

sweet build keep it up...

and i agree... the number of cars with 500+hp on basically stock suspension and brakes scares the hell out of me, especially the ones posting 140mph videos

the seats are plenty comfortable. ive done a few 1900 mile road trips with them in from washington to wisconsin and back. i even had my 56 year old dad with me and he had no complaints.

This has been a great thread. Neat to see a detailed progression of a build up like this. Great mods and you've got a Mach that you can definitely be proud of and know that it's been built to a higher standard. Nice work!

that is bad ass

love the build minus the bodkit and chrome fr500's. black mach's ftw though

 

[The AntiRice]

ehhh yeah i kinda agree with you on the fr500s. out of all the cheaper wheels out there though they are one of my favorites. if i could keep myself from buying new rubber for them all the time id be bolting on a set of true forged or ccw wheels. who knows might happen in the near future. im thinkin 18x11s and 18x8. reason for going so narrow in the front is that huge friggen steeda sway bar hits my current 17x9 when im at full lock.

Damn, a lot of work done and to be done on you Mach 1.

I actually don't mind the Roush body kit minus the rear wing.

Can't wait to see it after the twins

 

[The AntiRice]

hopefully ill have the trans and clutch covered shortly after i have her payed off this fall and then its on to buttoning up a few things. id like to actually drive this thing a bit more than i do rather than work on it all the time. i might do the twin setup on my own after i get through lincoln school of technology or sam racing. we shall see though.

best part part of leave was taking one of the ford sales dudes for a ride on a few backroads after they installed my eaton detroit true trac and 31 spine mosers. i love the 5 point harnesses with the cr1s, gives you so much more confidence driving the car on the edge when ur ass stays planted.
