[QUOTE="hatchke, post: 16720939, member: 185172"] Juuust picked it up last night and have some work cut out for me haha. It's obviously a 2003 Oxford White convertible w/ 75k miles. Fairly clean for being a 18-19yr old Ford. It's always been on my 'to-own' list since I had a '99 GT for several years that I really enjoyed. [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51823439057_c0eb89dad5_k.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51824489978_036870aa17_k.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/51825102115_92d2dd00a8_k.jpg[/IMG] Car came with: - Pulley (have to find my caliper still, but looks to be a 2.8" metco to match the metco idler) - Steeda firewall adjuster, quadrant and cable (clutch needed to be adjusted BADLY. Someone didn't know what they were doing lol) - Steeda short-throw shifter - Bassani high-flow cats, x-pipe, catback exhaust - LPF heat exchanger (80% on this one, need to get underneath and measure it up). - Xcal2 tune (appears to be canned tune). Car should make in the 440-450whp range as it sits I guess? I'll get a proper tune after I verify the health of the motor and get some fresh plugs in. Immediate to-do list and have parts ordered for: - Fresh oil change - Fresh plugs - Fresh alignment - Mild window tint - New factory tail lights and headlights ordered (these tinted ones are AWFUL) - New third brake light - Short IRS subframe bolts - MM roll bar for some ACTUAL safety. Style bar doesn't make me feel secure tbh. Longer plans: - Interior refresh, reupholster the front/rear seats or replace with something that's not too "race looking" - replace the nasty double-DIN screen with something more modern w/ carplay - Refresh/update the tune - MAYBE a mild Stieg porting to make that extra 50whp and heaton noise. - Bilsteins/springs/mm camber plates - Wheels are that aren't FR500's, Cobra 5-spokes or some drag pack lol. Whole build concept is to just sort it out better, have something to drive with a/c besides the M4 and have a little fun. The M build got a little out of control so I wanted something a little different that I don't have to worry about as much, log some miles and also maintain a little bit of value when i'm all done and ready for what's next.
