What was the original date for it to be done ??

SS_Firehawk · 03-31-2013, 05:43 PM

There was never a solid date, just a 3-4 month guesstimate from GTM, but we know how guesstimates work. I still won't be able to drive it for another 4 months, but just waiting for updates and results is slow torture!

Edit: Got an email today (4/3), didn't receive any real info, only they are fabbing some parts, which I already knew. I'm curious as to what they are.

Added some pics to the first page. Here they are for reference.

Next 3 are courtesy of Esfourteen in his FS thread. I bought them from him, so it was the best I can find of my actual headers

Not mine, my Pops ride. 11' GT track pack with the standard list of bolt ons, lowering springs, front lip, air dam, stripes, a mail tune and a ghost cam. In short, it's faster than my car lol... for now. Needs more tire, it was breaking loose in third gear, not just a chirp, but did not have traction until I either lifted or shifted. I believe they are 19x9.5's on P-Zero's.

I love the show that's on the tv in the pic.

SS_Firehawk · 04-10-2013, 03:01 PM

I saw that too... I was thinking to myself, "WTF is on his TV? Is that an arm, or leg, wait, I see tatas, not sure what's going on there.

The lip on the Mustang closely resembles the lip you like for the Z... if you made it a hell of a lot wider....is it made by Tamon Design

Haha. I had to take a more economical route and grabbed an EVO-R painted Magnetic Black. I asked 5 people which they liked and they all said it looked the same, as I insisted it did not. But secretly, I still covet that Tamon lip.

Pops just needed a bit of entertainment while cleaning up the stang no big deal.

NeverBoneStck · 04-10-2013, 07:46 PM

Any new news ??

SS_Firehawk · 04-10-2013, 07:52 PM

GTM says they should have news very soon from the email today. Mike says they are making very good progress. He emailed me rather than me asking him, which leads me to believe him correct.

SS_Firehawk · 04-11-2013, 04:31 PM

Bored and found this gem. Probably one the most profound 15 seconds of my career. I spent 45 minutes trying to find something worthy to say to the man. All I can come up with was " It's a great honor to meet you Sir." As the picture was taken and I go to leave, he tightens his grip before release and says "No, the honor is mine." In that moment, my impression of being just another boot on the ground was changed. This was OEF 11 on 04July, just after he reenlisted 235 of us in KAF.

Here is also some pics of my other hobby. This was my deployment PC lol

Foxconn Bloodrage Motherboard
Core i7 920 @ 4.2ghz
GTX 560ti SLI @ 1000mhz (don't remember mem settings)
1000W PC Power & Cooling PSU
2TB Hitachi Drive
60GB SSD
6gb Tri Channel Corsair Dominator GT 2000mhz @ 7-7-7-20 1T
Zalman CNPS 9900SMAX cooler
Mountain Mods Bobslay V2 case

I haven't updated her since 2010, except new cpu (980X). I plan on updating the GPU's and getting a USB3.0 and Sata 6G add in card. GPU's run about as fast as a single GTX 680. Processor is already overkill. 6gb ram may seem like a small amount, but when was the last time any of you used over 4gb? I'm getting 35gbps of bandwidth on a tri channel board on a first gen I7 design, so I'm content

SS_Firehawk · 04-12-2013, 02:44 PM

Behold!

Mike took this 30 min ago (Thank you meta data). Yeah, I started screaming with excitement. I started rallying the Marines and coworkers and they laughed at me haha. I told them "You don't understand! I've been sending them @ss tons of money and this is the first pic of something I paid for on the car!" Totally elevated my day.

SgtGoldy · 04-12-2013, 05:32 PM

Dude.... Now let me drive it so I can give a non biased opinion on it....

Mr&Mrs · 04-12-2013, 06:19 PM

Awesome! Happy for you, and hey if it makes you feel any better we would have been dancing with you
