Wow. I hate mustangs, (maybe hate is a strong word) but that top picture is absolutely beautiful!

Your setup appears to be almost identical to mine. Good luck, i hope you're not planning on running visualizations or anything fancy like that

other than intense graphics, it should serve you well.

I will see how it goes. I think i will change RR for my own frontend, need to get my xbox frontend works on pc, i have visualisation runing in 1080i full frame rate with a 700 mhz proc. Visual Studio C++ is my friend. And i want my ODBII to be integrate in the front end. So i will have to do all the code by myself.

Dude the car is gonna turn out great, and the upgrades to the engine sounds hella nice. Just one question though, if you were planning boosting up the horsepower from the beginning, why didnt you buy stick? Personally I would have gotten the 5-speed.

Thanks. For two reasons. i bought it when there was only a few mustang left in april, didn't have many choice, My first choice was a black one with red interior, the second one was the blue. No black available until october (2006 model). And it's my daily driver i drive 90% in traffic in town. My previous was a V6 2001 manual. So i decided to go to auto.

At least as far as i know i have the fatest GT 05 Auto N/A on track

DAY 2.
Installed GPS.
Fix the problem of my power on, on screen device.
Gone to ford to buy a new dash plastic things to be bondo with the screen (doesn't loose the original dash like this).

enitalp · 01-31-2006, 08:45 PM

DAY 3

Received my new dash, same as original, i just don't want to mess up the original one in case of revert one day.

Next remove all from the screen to keep front plate.

After one hour of sanding it finaly "fit"

First pass of bondo, i only keep the IR Module and the source button.
many left hole to fill but i need to sand it before to see where i am.

Still working on, bondo, sanding, primer, bondo, sanding, primer... never ending story.

The defaults only appear when there is a coat of black.

Hope to be able to paint this week.

Ah ha! When I read "Alim" in your photo of the parts as the PSU description I thought.. "Alim??.. Alimentation? This guy has gotta be from quebec.." I even checked your user area to see, but you don't have the locaiton set. What part of QC do you hail from?

Oh, and looks like its gonna be a pretty nice setup.
