Turbo Mustang REbuild thread

[bkstang95]

Everyone pretty much knows what happened to my car at the track a few months ago. I pretty much lost all interest in it and haven't even touched the car until yesterday...

I'll try to update with pictures as I bring it back from the dead.



Before:

My buddy Andy (apocalypse) stopped by today and we made some good progress.
-Removed the hood, bumper, fenders, turbo piping, down pipe, intercooler, radiator, what was left of the fan, MSD box, 2-step box, upper intake and t/b. Thanks again Andy for the help! You have no idea what you got yourself into :lol:

[cobra429boss]

[bkstang95]

Yeah, one of my dudes had to run all the way to the end of the track to grab my wheel haha Wonder what my time was?! lol

[Stangman]

I dont know, but that thing had to have went past the 1000ft mark!

[mustang8998]

Good to hear that you're back at it, Brandon!

[bkstang95]

Thanks Jeff! What the hell have you been up to?!

[Stolly113]

[mustang8998]

Thanks Jeff! What the hell have you been up to?!

Not much!

Need to get busy, on my junk. I miss racing! :o

[bkstang95]

Pretty much got my goals accomplished for the day. One more good day of little things here and there and it should be ready for the frame shop...

[Brandon Alsept]

Good luck with the rebuild ;) Car will be better than ever once its back together.

[bbfstanger]

glad to see your making some progress,i seen you down at kk like a week before your mishap.

[bkstang95]

Thanks guys!

[Stolly113]

Hey is that the vette that beat the H/C/I 93 green notch. And the owner of that car (kevin) may or maynot be on this site ? ha ha ha ha

[bkstang95]

I finally got the car back from being straightened and painted.
Kept it pretty simple this time around. It's black...
Just got the brake booster, brake lines, wiring, motor/trans installed over the weekend. Still A LOT left to do!!

Very cool. Now roll that bitch outside and get some better pics.:D

[5.0calypso93lx]

Now that it's black, get a sleeper tank and get rid of those fuel lines hanging out from the back!

[bkstang95]

Eh, i'm tired of changing shit. lol
I'll be lucky to even drive it this year...

[bkstang95]

Well, it's been a while since i've messed with the car but here's a quick update...Decided to drink a few beers and mess with the car last night...ended up getting the hot side back on the car and started working on mounting the intercooler...ended up getting a wrong bracket but will hopefully get that taken care of this week sometime...Then onto tackling the cold side!

http://i134.photobucket.com/albums/q115/bkstang95/Mobile%20Uploads/0725001753.jpg

[bkstang95]

Got a little more work done this weekend...Ended up redoing the entire cold side. The old setup only had a 2.5" x 24 intercooler with 2.5" piping that entered/exited on the same side...This one is a 4" x 31" (i think) "blow through" intercooler and we went with 3" piping... I'm very happy with our progress from yesterday.

[Walter]

Nice!

[SN95N/A]

So what exactly happened? You broke the studs off,did u end up wrecking it jus curious sorry to bother ya

[bkstang95]

Yeah, was at the track...launced, had bad wheel hop, stayed in it...as I shifted to second, broke all the studs off passenger side rear wheel...went straight into the wall...pretty much sucked haha So have just been piecing it back together as best as I can when money allows.

[jack90gt]

Looks and sounds good man.....

[SN95N/A]

nice coming along nicely man..

[bkstang95]

Made a little more progress this weekend...got the brakes put on and bled and was able to drive it around under it's own power for the first time in almost 2 years!
Off to the body shop sometime this week and then have to put the new differential in, swap to 3.27 gears (from 3.08) and get the axles drilled out for these 5/8" studs...shouldn't be too much longer before I can get out and start causing some trouble again! :lol:

Quick Video:

[Jake]

congrats man! looks and sounds awesome! :bigthumb

[bkstang95]

Just a little update...got everything finished up on the body work department...got it back to the house last night and just have a couple things left to do before its time to get back to tuning again...

Going to take the rear end apart tonight so I can get the axles/rotors/wheels over to the machine shop to get drilled out for the new 5/8" studs...depending on how long that takes might be able to get that back together this weekend.

[evil8]

5/8 studs are overkill on that car.

[bkstang95]

They might be...

[Jeff88coupe]

Well...since he sheared a set of 1/2" stud that caused him to wreck...I think running a set of 5/8" studs is a wise upgrade. Running a DR tire with any kind of tire shake will test the whole driveline.

[bkstang95]

I also ditched the spool and got a Strange Engineering 33spline diff. to make it a little more "street freindly"...I def can't afford to go through this again! lol

[DSSKing68]

Looks good!! Get that beast on the road alreadly! Nice progress.

[bkstang95]

Thanks, Mark!

[bkstang95]

Turns out one of my "badass" 17" fronts are jacked up...needless to say, I'm fucking PISSED!

So much for an honest/trustworthy sale. Just remember, guy, what goes around comes around. You know who you are...

[mustangboy]

I heard about the deal on the wheels, I too believe in karma. Car is looking sweet, any dyno #'s yet??

[bkstang95]

Thanks man! Yeah, it's unfortunate, but i'm not going to let it slow me down. No numbers yet...still a few loose ends to finish up and then want to just go over everything again to make sure everything is correct. Hopefully in the next week or so though...I'm pumped!

Yea, I'm pretty disappointed to say the least, especially after I trusted the seller. I guess if my word wasn't enough, that this thread and my build thread would be evidence enough that these wheels have never had a tire mounted on them since purchased from the seller, not to mention the money I've spent on top of these wheels, but guess that's just not the case. Keep me updated.

[bkstang95]

Dude should just go ahead and call you and I liars...that's pretty much what it comes down to.

Just know to never do business with him again...lesson learned. He doesn't owe me shit, as he technically fucked you over.

[SCHMUCKINGHAM]

So whats wrong with the wheel?


Kind of scared because I have a set of 17in front runner Greg Welds I havent used yet, of course they are brand new but still.

[2Fast4You]

I love the look of that car, let us know what kind of numbers you pull.

[bkstang95]

One of them is so out of round it can't be balanced...This is a Race Star, but same wheel as the Greg Welds I think.

Thanks for the compliments...I'll def keep it updated with whatever power this turd puts down :lol:

Unfortunately you're exactly right.

[chris91]

That really sucks man. If you need someone to fix it get a hold of Cliff Jacobs in Mt. Healthy. That man is a badass with wheels. Good luck gettin your car back on the streets, definitely a bad machine.

[beefcake]

I'm not calling anyone a liar. I am saying I haven't seen or touched these wheels in over 5 months. How can I be expected to be responsible for them.

You have pictures of the wheels, so you obviously had a chance to look at them before you bought them.

No, the wheels are not race stars, they are greg welds, so if 5.0calypso sold them to you as race stars then he lied to you.

Here is the original for sale thread on them. So, looks like James lied to you.

[bkstang95]

Guilty conscience?! I didn't even mention your name?! LOL

At any rate...they sat in the boxes until yesterday other than to take a picture...the bent part was on the rear lip of the wheel...I bought them from a good friend who never used the things and said they came from you, whom i thought was a reputable person to deal with...

Bottom line, I'm not asking you to do anything nor do i expect you to at this point. I just want others to know how you dealt with someone else. He has bought multiple cars off of you and obviously trusted you enough to think you wouldn't sell him an inferior product.

The rears are Greg Welds...the fronts (THE WHEELS IN QUESTION) are Race Stars! Isn't that day 1 in any sales job?! "Know your product"?!

They are not race stars. I know my product. They are greg weld drag stars i bought from summit racing.

here is a link to another of their wheels.

http://www.summitracing.com/parts/GWM-92-514347P/?rtype=10

Here is a pic of the wheel with the original center cap that came with them. I switched the center cap out to match my race stars.

No, they are greg weld drag stars. A simple, my apoligies, your right you bought the wheels and know what they are will suffice.

[bkstang95]

So you swapped center caps and boxes?! Nice!

[beefcake]

So you swapped center caps and boxes?! Nice!

I don't understand your point. I bought the wheels, ran them on the car, took the center caps from my 15" that wouldn't fit, and put them on my car to match.

In the meantime I sold the 15's to Joe, with the greg weld center cap on them.

When I got the new wheels from race star, i saved the box in case I had to ship them out to someone.

I never sold the wheels as race stars, I sold them as Greg Welds. It's right there in the thread, but thanks for playing. The link to my for sale thread is still there.

[bkstang95]

Don't give me your fucking "thanks for playing" attitude...once again this has NOTHING to do with the manufacturer of the wheel!

[beefcake]

Don't give me your fucking "thanks for playing" attitude...once again this has NOTHING to do with the manufacturer of the wheel!

yes, it has to do with telling the truth, you said that the wheel was never out of the box since james got them from me.

yet you have pictures of the wheels out of the box from a month ago in this very thread.

your own thread


No one else has touched them either...they are in the RACE STAR boxes that you gave them to James in...until yesterday...



you say the wheel was never out of the box, but in post 33 there are pics of the wheels out of the box???

[bkstang95]

LOL Leaning against the box....

THANKS!!! Now i remember....THAT's how the wheel got fucked up...seriously go fuck yourself dude!

Again, keep hanging on me telling Brandon what brand the wheels were. In the end, Greg Weld = Race Star as far as the molds of these wheels go. Just like Brandon said, they're in Race Star boxes, do you even know what wheels you sold me?

I didn't say it got fucked up there. You said the wheel had never been out of the box. Clearly thats not true.

All i'm saying is how can you expect me to fix a wheel i haven't seen or touched in 6 months, thats changed hands 2 times.

Be realistic

[bkstang95]

Bottom line: u pawned off some jank ass wheels and got away with it. Nothing I can do to prove otherwise other than all the people on here that know me and how I would never dick anyone over.

[dsmawd350]

i could see if you sold them to someone on yellowbullet then he sold them and shipped them out and theyve been all over the country. but theyve been right here in cincinnati, in the hands of 2 board members that both dont have running cars :lol:.

we got two hard working guys who spend theyre paychecks to enjoy a hobby and have fun, being fucked over by a guy with a car full of free parts who doesnt have to buy his own shit. real class act there

I guess if you actually had to buy your own parts youd realize what it feels like to be screwed out of hard earned money. but fuck it you bend this set so you just had your sponsor send you some new ones! win win right?

Because you know neither I nor Brandon have ever run these wheels on any car since they were purchased from you. That is clearly shown in our build threads. You are not owning up to parts you damaged and sold, bottom line. Instead you're trying to find ways to "catch us in lies" to make yourself feel and sound better. I gave you the opportunity to man up and help out in the situation. I contacted you FIRST before ever starting any of this crap on the internet. You responded with "not my responsibility" and I think that speaks a million words about you and your business ethics.

[bkstang95]

Hell, they didn't even move houses! That faggot, James, was living at my house when he bought these things!

[beefcake]

I'll say it here as I said it in the other thread


I will tell you this.

ON MY 4 DAUGHTERS LIVES, I KNEW OF NO ISSUES WITH THESE WHEELS WHEN I SOLD THEM

TAKE THAT AS GOSPHEL!!!

May the good lord strike them down and make me burn in hell if i'm lying!!!

That is the truth, no ifs, ands or buts

[Blowpastyou]

Lucky you didnt sell them on YellowBullet.com Some of those guys take great pride in ruining people for that shit! In my opinion you sold him a messed up wheel, that hasnt been on a car yet.... But it was on your car.?.?? You should be responsible for it. Its like James still owns them and finally got around to mounting them 6 months later.... Didnt change the outcome that the wheel is messed up.....

[bkstang95]

What the fuck is gosphel?! Apparently you go to a different church than the rest of us...

[beefcake]

What the fuck is gosphel?! Apparently you go to a different church than the rest of us...

The gosphel is if I had the slightest indication that there was any issue with one or both of these wheels, I never would have sold them.

[Stolly113]

What the fuck is gosphel?! Apparently you go to a different church than the rest of us...


What's Church?
:popcorn:

[beefcake]

You or James can stop by and I'll give ya $50, half the cost of the wheel.

That should cover any repairs I gotta think.

Fair enough?

Yup

[bkstang95]

Made a little moar progress this weekend...

I lost the better part of 2 months trying to get the rear end of this car figured out. The first hang up was at the machine shop getting the 5/8" studs drilled out...that took 3 weeks for some reason.
The second cluster fuck had to do with my decision to run Strange differential instead of a spool. I was wrong in assuming their 33 spline diff would work with my 33 spline axles...so after jacking around with those guys trying to get them to spec out a set of axles that would work with their differential i just had them send my axles/diff back to me and switched to all Moser products. So, after all of that I am back to what I originally had in the first place...a spool... :lol: Hate cars! :mad2:

Now that I had all the parts I needed, my buddy Wayne came over and we did work...got the rear end set up, put on the new brakes, put the new power steering pump on, and wrapped the crossover pipe...Still have a few other odds and ends to figure out before it gets tuned but still making progress.

The day finally came! Made it over to see Adam today...made A LOT of progress today. Can't thank the guys that made this possible enough...Tino hooked me up big time by getting it out there and my buddy Wayne who has helped me from day 1 get this thing back together one beer at a time in my garage.

Got the car switched over to E85 and made some great power today. Got a few issues taken care of while there, even though it was newb mistake on my behalf, was making the car overheat at idle...looks like we were blowing through the converter so next step is to track down the guys over at PTC and see what they suggest at this time...it should pick up some again after that fix as well. It was definitely wanting to eat today! Minor set back but will be back for more, hopefully soon for some track tuning.

It was definitely wanting to eat today! Minor set back but will be back for more, hopefully soon for some track tuning.

Thanks for bringing it by, it is a badass car for sure! :bigthumb

If that thing goes as fast as it looks, then you're gonna be in trouble

No final numbers yet...we stopped when we realized there was a drivetrain issue going on...hope to get that figured out this week and be back for more.

Had a few issues to take care of since it was last on the dyno...Had to send the converter out to PTC to work their magic for the current combo. Also had the shaft in the turbo break...so ended up needing a new turbo...again! :mad:
Since I now had a little downtime with the converter being sent out and having to make up my mind on what turbo to run this time around since the last one took a shit...decided I would take care of the cooling system...Ditched the heater core lines and had -16AN fittings welded to the radiator and water pump. Figured it was well worth doing so there were no more future mishaps at the track...turned out pretty good IMO.

I also figured I'd get some real suspension under this thing to help get it down the track...picked up some Strange 10-ways for the front and back, went back to stock springs and added the Team Z series 1 rear suspension package...Thanks again to Brandon over at Finishline for helping me out! Was excellent to deal with and would definitely recommend people needing some Team Z suspension to contact him!

Oh, and Thanks again to Jeff88coupe for hooking me up with the fittings and hoes..er hose to get the radiator finished!

[Jeff88coupe]

Looks good...glad my left over pieces could be put to good use. So what turbo you decide to go with?

:lol: Brandon is a wannabe hustler.

[bkstang95]

I can tell you, it's not a MPT70... :lol:

You were asking me all these questions about "p" and "q" trim...was like uhhhh it's a Q-trim! Yeah, that's it! lol

[Jake]

this is one sick sn95. can't wait to see it at the track!

[Jeff88coupe]

To bad you kit isn't a T6 flange. Saw a brand new BW S475 turbo on YB today for $550. Same exact turbo I run.

[bkstang95]

No kidding! If i knew what I know now about all this turbo crap I def would have gone the T6 route!

[bkstang95]

Not that big of an update, but an update to say the least!

Got the converter reworked and re-installed and got the new turbo put on there. Adam was able to get it worked into the dyno yesterday, so big thanks to him for that, and got the car ready to go to the track! Made some great [and safe] numbers out of it and think everyone is pretty happy with the results! I guess the track will be the ultimate test at this point.

Still have to do some driveability tuning but for where it's at now it cruises pretty well and temp never went over 150*! Can't beat that!

Hope to have an update with a decent timeslip from the track in the next week or so!

[DSSKing68]

Next time your with Adam let me know, I'll stop down, I'd love to see it in person.

[bkstang95]

Will do, Mark!
