Why is your shift light hooked to a coil? Mine is wired into the passenger side kick panel. No issues with mine at all.
I wouldn’t want to be messing with a coil wire. Too risky IMO.
What did you do for your Terminator today?

Been like that for almost 20 years I think. My original directions to connect green wire to tach output lead of vehicle or switched side of the ignition coil.
Newer instructions show the setup like yours in the side kick panel.
Some clean rides!!!
I must've gotten mine right after you got yours. I had one in my 01 and it said to connect in the kick panel. That would've been 2005 or 2006.
Mines been wired to the kick panel for 10+ years too. So long I don’t remember when I added it. I have the OG raptor mount on my SOS pod.
That's about the time I got mine. These were the original instructions back then. Never even knew they had some for the kick panel route until working on mine today.
During this time, I decided to make a short list of things to do while I had on my mind. I need to add "JLT CAI" I have laying around to replace the Densecharger CAI it came with when I purchased 20 years ago.
Took her to the track for the first time ever with my son yesterday. Hit the strip and did two passes against a 2010 e63 AMG and lost both times. Definitely partially a skill issue as I’ve never been on a track before and my first pass had an abysmal reaction time. Had an issue with the air intake rubber connecting the TB to the ram air tube too which was pretty gnarley.
Kind of curious if anyone else has done the FTBR kit and still had wheel hop on the strip when doing passes. I was definitely having some wheel hop from 1st into 2nd and part of my other problem was my car from first to second would bog down so I’d be low in RPMs after 1st which killed a lot of my momentum too.
All in all though I had a blast. First time ever hitting the strip and I brought my oldest too for his first time. Safe to say i believe his first track day was the lore creation needed to guarantee him a life of financial instability for the love of cars and going fast.

FTBR is is only part of the solution. Springs, Subframe Connectors..
What suspension mods can be done to eliminate wheel hop???
I have some wheel hop in my car when I tend to really get on it... Im sure all of you do, whether its some or lots, but what mods can be done to cure this up. Links or pics would be great. Thanks a lot :thumbsup: .....

What rear tire?Not my terminator but a good friend of mine. Helped him get it all wrapped up and ready to start. I need a DSG coupe of my own. Hopefully this coming year.
Cars been down for 8 months he did a full overhaul on it basically. It’s insane how good it looks now. For those that follow me on YouTube we will have the car on the channel very soon.

You'll need a set of bi-ply tires. I think the part number is 3055s if I remember correctly.
Love it!! Where is LA? Same guy? I know a Gregory Perez was trying to sell his red 93. I think two 03/04's is really cool but having 93 & 03/04 is way cooler!! My dream car is a teal 93, but honestly, red of black would work too. lolHaven't done anything yet, transport just dropped them off
Brought these two meticulous gems home from Louisiana. Cancel Christmas.
Now I just need to find some cool guys like those SVT Garage guys. Anyone in Northern Colorado?!

Yah, one guy had both and he is in Gonzales, LA (he is also selling a 14' Shelby GT500 and a 21' GT500)
I flew out just to look at the 03'. I knew he was also selling the 93' but had zero intentions of owning that until I saw it in person. ...it was my kind of immaculate condition!

I have everything. Bushing, springs, SFCs, jacking rails, etc. For me it depends on the surface. It'll still hop occasionally. Nowhere near as bad though. I think its more noticeable with DR's than regular street tires. I don't remember really having it with the R888R's.
My buddy used to own a house that everyone would do burnouts when leaving. For some reason in that spot my car always hopped. Even after every was done.
That car deserves a set of BC Forged wheels good sir. Sweet baby Jesus is that car perfect otherwise.
I appreciate the kind words, but it needs a paint job first. It has the Ford clearcoat issues on the driver fender and roof. But when the time comes I'll planning on a set of Boze Clutch wheels for it.
Congratulations! Nice rides.Haven't done anything yet, transport just dropped them off

Sorry, my OCD is bugging me. But the cobra badge on 93’s fender appears to be on the wrong way
I noticed the front tire not being centered in the wheel well. Guessing suspension upgrades?

I bought it and drove it home!
Immediate updates will be:
-Ordered a bluetooth radio station transmitter so I can keep the stock radio/look but still have Pandora.
-Redo the peeling tint.
-Replace the catalytic converters since I am in an emissions county in GA.
