this is how my car started 6 months ago



i joined 6speed 6 months ago and read 250 pages of back threads and i want to thank all of you for providing me the beaten path. thank you spi for realizing that there are value conscious buyers that don't want to spend 5k on an exhaust but especially i want to thank the houston guys that pm'd me and told me to take my car to akram at motorwerks. he transformed my car beyond my expecations. for you horsepower junkies, the power increase is modest but appreciable (350whp to 462whp on the mustang dyno.) here are the mods:
1. spi L2
2. 19 inch HRE c93 in satin black with MPS2's 235/315
3. pss10's
4. carbon fiber interior from db carbon
5. carbon fiber side mirrors from rotec carbon
6. hardwired V1 (v. 3.872)
7. L1 dual (gen. 8)
8. iwire p with 4th generation ipod nano
9. orange tpms hardwired in middle console
10. techart shifter painted trim black
11. 997 ssk shifter
12. oem dual mass flywheel and cm stage 3 full disk fibertough clutch
13. rennline peddle set and track mat
14. black ceramic coated spi exhaust tips
15. c4s front bumber lip in artic silver
16. formula one pinnacle 35 tint
17. samco hose kit
18. f1 engineering dv's
19. rolled fenders
20. rear badge delete and waiting for my black lonestar texas license plate (our new plates are ugly)

 

Common now. You still did not start engine mods yet! Let have more fun.

 

fantastic looking car - should have done 18" hre's though

 

Congrats man Akram does a hell of a job on the cars in his shop, the man never sleeps i swear.

absolutely stunning, great choice on the wheels and the CF bits they really pull everything together nicely. 19" wheels are the perfect size IMO. What width wheels did you go with?

 

Nicely done! Time for painted bumperettes. How long did it take for your order to arrive from db?

 

i thought about it and went back and forth. the ride doesn't suffer on pss10's and in the end they look better. the purists will quote the one review from 10 yrs ago that showed the car handles better on 18's but who cares. when i track the car i'll throw on 18's.

nor does he take a weekend off ---- pics would show up on my eyefi account on sundays.

8.5 and 11's. thought about 11.5 as most have done with a 3 piece hre wanting to use 315 tires. but i wanted a snug fit and protect the rims from road rash as much as possible.

 

a long time. he batches the orders and he uses ghl for shipping which sucks. i put in 3 separate orders each taking 4 to 6 weeks. the steering wheel is a steal ---- 900 bucks.

 

Great work by Akram,looks & runs great what more could ask for. Congrats.

 

Congrats the car looks awesome! What a transformation, I noticed you upgraded the clutch so you must be thinking about additional engine mods!

 

Excellent a great compilation of mods.
What else are you thinking about doing. Will keep an eye on your post from Scotland with interest.

Cars looking real sharp... like how you debadged it... considering debadging myself but scared

 

Looks great, enjoy the ride!

 

Looks great!!! Amazing! Love the techart black shift know....

 

congrats, doc! makes my own anticipation that much more intense! Im dying for Akram to finish my car. I know you are going to enjoy your car all that more with those ROCKIN upgrades! Hows it driving?
