I bought a new drift car. And I spent $10,000 on parts to build it. This is a 2006 Ford Mustang GT, and although these things are known for fishtailing into crowds leaving car meets, I am going to build this to do fast, controlled slides. I hope you enjoy the build, I am super stoked to test this thing on the track

Possibly unpopular opinion but caliper covers looks soooo bad. Not jist on a mustang but on any car. It looks out of place. I paid 100 bucks for caliper paint and wire brushes and painted my calipers and it looks wayy better and it was cheaper.

I love the MGW, it's awesome how you can adjust the throw and it makes the 2-3 shift effortless. The BC's are great, although I went straight from stock so I don't have much to compare them to. I also got a Ford racing finned diff cover so I could run a temp gauge to my Banks Idash. You have to drill out the sensor location tho, it's blocked off on the inside and it's m10x1.5 which is odd but once all pieced together it's nice to have

@@LooseFab I’m not sure the make of the suspension but I can try to take a look. All I know is it was on the brother of the PO’s car and then when that car got wrecked they swapped it. It handles pretty good too, or at least a lot better than my F150 😂. Right now the plan is to clean it up. Replace the back bumper, he passenger side mounts for it, maybe replace the front bumper, put some new tires (maybe wheels it just depends) on it. I’m getting married soon and am trying to have the car looking sharp for that. Beyond that I’d kind of like to put a cage in it for extra rollover protection and so I can do some events if I ever want to, some hot rod cams or something similar, and maybe a super charger of some type down the line. I’ve also found some shaker hoods for sale for it and I’d kinda like to get one if possible but I’m not sure it’s in the cards financially right now on top of the other stuff that the car needs
