Sylvania Silverstar ZXE. I haven't gotten a chance to drive at night-night (and I got these put in last Thursday) but they look better, less beige-yellow.
Installed the FSWorks Stealth Exhaust (thanks RAF_S197) and a mid wing (thanks Chaos09) yesterday. Will have pics once the weather clears up.
So far the exhaust sounds pretty good, a little louder than I thought it would be (I think "stealth" my not be the right name for this exhaust) but the stock Mk3 exhaust was louder than the stock exhaust on my last two cars. That also may be due to this being a hatchback vs a sedan. I find sedans to be a bit quieter. The only time I notice some drone is between 80-100km/h (50-60mph) but at highway speeds 100-120km/h (60-75mph) it sounds almost stock. I'm happy it doesn't sound like a civic with a fart can and at idle I really like the low growl with a little bit of warble.
Interested to see how it turned out. I'm personally not a fan of mid-wings, but I'll withhold judgement until I see it. I'd love to hear the exhaust as well. That was a used system from Raf, right?
I actually bought a Steeda RSB from him last week, we were talking about your new exhaust [like]
So than my guess wasn't entirely out of the ball park considering most steel hoods would be much heavier than a mk3. It helps that it's a smaller hood to begin with. Digressing, if your hood weighs in at 60lbs on the mustang and it's replaced with a cf weighing 10lbs, there's your 50. Apples to oranges I know lol
I prefer my classic's in the bow tie format with the exception of a 65 Shelby cobra and ford gt, which are both totally out of my budget. What I would give for a pro touring 2nd gen camaro split bumper though.
Anyone running ksports on the mk3? They should be here wednesday, I'll take a bunch of pictures of them (box it shipped in, whats included, on car etc) in case anyone is interested in buying a set.
Would the ST variant be more street friendly? The link he posted basically describes these as an all out track coilover. Another member on the forum is running D2 rs coilovers.
"The Ksport Kontrol Pro Coilover kit has been designed with professional road racing in mind offering extremely high value and performance."
Yep Mk3 specifically... One of my buddy's here in ABQ and another guy I know in TX... And I've heard of others too supposedly, I know only of two personally.
I really like the heft and build of the Whiteline I have.
But at least one of those two has been said to have been caused by less-than-stellar driving...
Mine hasn't broken and I dogleg at least twice every single day. I highly recommend it. The Whiteline is nice, but I didn't want to modify it to fit or buy the end links.
Latest mod, eibach sportline springs. Front wheel gap before and after. Also new rubber. Sumitomo pos1's. Good tire so far. Will try to post better pics of stock to eibach springs later.
Mg_mk3 I've had it on for probably 4 months now and I absolutely love it. The sound between that and my FR 2.5" catback is so aggressive and growly. I havent had any issues with it.
And what do you guys think about having my engine cover color painted white with black letters/lines?
