How-To Install Pulleys & Carbon Fiber Interior on a Ford Mustang GT

[Johanrai]

Where did you get all the carbon fiber interior for your mustang? Do you have any idea if there is similiar interior for a ford cougar -99? Oh and great videos, the videos has given me many new ideas for customising my cougar. :)

[scout6686]

What does he use to get all the carbon fiber trimmings to stay????

Glue? what kind?

[motorztv]

@scout6686 It has a 3M adhesive on the back, plus you add 3M adhesion promoter first which keeps it on for the long haul.

@carbonjohn

He meant a whole new dash itself, not the carbon fiber dash kit.

[thelampwithbreasts]

carbon fiber looks cheap

[bachstrad644]

@thelampwithbreasts only when it's this fake vinyl stick on crap. The real stuff looks great!

[doyouknowme769]

where do you grt all of the cars and trucks?

[motorztv]

@doyouknowme769 We usually use personal vehicles from the crew on the show. If we need one specifically that we don't have, though, we find one locally.

[doyouknowme769]

@motorztv ok thanks for the info

[Sjackson2369]

not a big fan of the carbon fiber look. billet aluminum looks great, but the carbon fiber in such a large amount just looks tacky. i think it would have been a bit better with carbon fiber on the center of the console around the stereo and climate control systems, and then more billet on the rest of the dash and center console.

[xromad01]

a cam or stiff springs make the dash panels fall off.however the chrome parts such as the cup holder trim,ebrake handle,shifter trim,etc are pretty good.

[suddnstar]

I wonder, what do you do with all those parts that you remove? Like the bumpers, driveshaft, brake rotors etc. I've upgraded parts on my car, and don't know what to do with them. I don't want to throw them out, because they are perfectly good parts.

[motorztv]

@suddnstar CraigsList :)

[wonderbreadkw]

ur using steeda pulleys arent you. ur killin me with the steeda products man. american muscle has roush pulleys on sale for august at 199.00 and steedas are 214.00, what would be the best way to go?

[motorztv]

@wonderbreadkw Either one will be fine. There is probably little difference.

[CarbonJohn]

And all of that would look good, if those parts were really reproduced or wrapped in carbon fiber. Way to rice out that interior...

[AwsomAlex]

where can i buy a whole new dash for a 1988 honda civic hatchback???

[CarbonJohn]

@AwsomAlex I have a garbage can outside my shop with scraps of carbon fiber. It would look better. Please reconsider real carbon fiber pieces. Yes itl run you a couple of K for a full good interior, but its better than ricing out an already civic of a civic.

[jsmarais83]

that dash kit is such trash.. who wants to slap a bunch of stickers on the inside of their vehicle.. on top of which the carbon fiber fad will pass. The billet aluminum bits look amazing though!

[angelmtz4you]

where can you order the carbon fiber dash board kit for and 01mustang gt? i really want to hear back from you guys , thanks!

[motorztv]

@angelmtz4you Check with americanmuscle(dot)com -- that's where we got it for our 2008.

[1411funnystuff]

How much dose the carbon fiber kit cost?

[BoycottGameStop]

@1411funnystuff alot... i have a $1000 carbon fiber hood on my 05 mustang gt

[thyaaawad]

@BoycottGameStop u can get them for about 100 bucks off ebay tho :/ done it to all my cars

[cuteshadowKIA]

Will the Carbon Fiber Parts fit an V6 to? the HO says for Gt, don´t know about size difference inside...

[21min56secs]

wait! you have to achieve top-dead-center before your remove or do anything with the pulley!

[StormTecify]

Thats a sick CF kit and it must cost a arm and a leg but it may be i little to mush for my taste and id not use all of it

[CarbonJohn]

@StormTecify Its not a sick cf kit. Its a cheap ebay $100 kit. A sick kit would cost thousands. I would know. I sell them...

[DEADRISING72HR]

I have an automatic so how whould i get the cover off to install the kit

[DEADRISING72HR]

hey is it hard to get the cover off where your shifter is to get the carbon fiber kit under it?

[motorztv]

@DEADRISING72HR Not at all...

[V0DEAN]

@DEADRISING72HR pull.

[DRAGmaster24]

nice job guys

[DudeWithaPage]

When you put that much "stick on" carbon fiber, it should all be custom made....

[assault6622]

If you ended up changing your mind, could you remove the carbon fiber without damaging the interior?

[motorztv]

@assault6622 Yes. You might have to use a little bit of a mild adhesive remover, but it will not damage the interior.

[jeangrey65]

OMG, I'm so excited about installing my carbon fiber kit to my 2010 Camaro!

[drummingdave817]

way too damn much carbon fiber... looks pretty ugly

[lawrenceisapimp]

what site did you order all that CF from?

[motorztv]

@lawrenceisapimp Check the Motorz TV website -- look for the video and you'll find a direct link. Thanks!

[Drifterzz89]

I know that underdrive pulleys increase the power but do they harm the car ?

[motorztv]

@Drifterzz89 No, they do not. They just re-distribute the power to different places.

[Drifterzz89]

@motorztv Wow Thanks :D that helped alot

[YourMKArcadeSource]

@motorztv I know for a fact that they are not recommended for stock 86-93 5.0's due to severe voltage drop at idle due to the stock alternator not putting out enough amps at idle. Almost EVERYONE who installs underdrive pulleys on stock 5.0's install the 130/150 amp alternator mod as well or you will have nearly nothing for power at idle At least that's been my experience.

[motorztv]

@YourMKArcadeSource Thanks for the info!

[wccrispy]

@Drifterzz89 If you have a large sound system it may drain the battery and you may need to upgrade to a higher amperage alternator.

[BAH2005MustangGT]

Great piece on the underdrive pulleys, I'm just about to install a set from ASP Racing! I'm not a fan of the stick-on CF though. If I was going to go for CF it'd have to be the real deal full replacement pieces, like those from Carbign Craft.

[MeanStang08]

great job on the UD pulleys... and hey, to each their own on the CF dash.. it looks good, and i'm sure no one has ever seen one installed unless they did it themselves already... keep up the awesome work Chris! awesome show!

[21mejia25]

You said its a project car right?? no project is complete without gears! you should do a gear install!!

[AngelicTonyDawg]

Sorry thats way too much CF makes it look like a kid owns the car and doesnt know what he is doing but awsome job on the pulleys, love your show and exspecaily enjoy the longer fuller episodes

[raconter1]

Nicely done! :) Jack

[frostedflake753]

haha bs no way thats real CF

[motorztv]

@frostedflake753 It has real carbon fiber inside the pieces... you can see it if you look at it. It's not a print or some other cheesy material.

[mikeyboy236]

Ugh... That's just a stupid amount of carbon fiber.

[zYzmrZIzYz]

@mikeyboy236 yea, that's a little too much,  the aluminum are nice

[raydenx]

How much is the BHP gain?

[NissanN12Dude]

Interesting pulley mod! And that carbon fiber interior looks great! Awesome!

[salemcripple]

And "closer to completion"? A true project car is never complete! lol

[salemcripple]

Too much carbon fiber in my opinion. And do you actually use that motocross helmet in the background? Or is it for show?

P.S. HA! cut springs. I remember doing that back in the mid 90's when nobody made lowering springs for anything. That's old school!

[motorztv]

Yes, that's my helmet from when I had my Banshee.

[salemcripple]

@motorztv Nice! I use to have a Banshee. Now own a YFZ 450.

[jwth2005]

@motorztv Banshee ftmfw

[boy638]

how much does those CF cost?

[man1d2tran]

At 21:49 why were you checking that area near the mirror switch? What happened?

[kimchi1977]

like everybody else, the underdrive pulley upgrade is cool, but the cf inlays are a waste of money. Better to spend the money on some better tires, or suspension upgrades.

[andrestnt]

that fake CF right?

[motorztv]

@andrestnt No, that is real CF. Check the motorz tv website

[coolguy23448]

The carbon fiber looks sick it covers alot! of surface area!

[mrjost55]

looks very tacky

[alexvrce]

this carbon fiber "upgrade" is really a down grade. the point of carbon fiber is less weight on the car...this adds weight to the car...

[outlawsonic]

love the under drive pulleys, and the billet pieces. And a little over bored on the CF less is more.

[Ahkomaton]

LOVE the carbon fiber look!

[fordtruck0]

I think the CF is a bit much but I've seen far worse at car shows. I think I'll do the underdrive pulleys though. thx for the how-to!

[Caseybat94]

supercharger kit coming soon?

[driftazn]

i have seen a chevy with a escalade front end.

[fighterace34]

too much in the interior

[greencard]

too much carbon fiber

[JokerPokerUberSmoker]

@greencard yeh lol and its not even real carbon fiber xD

[lilfree22]

i love this color!!

[TheTarrMan]

Do they make that stick-on-stuff in a wood finish? The carbon-fiber stuff look's tacky. LMAO!!!!!

[Robinson4643]

iphone is awesome so many uses

[racoonpooon]

"welcome to motorrrrrzzz. i'm chris duke, and i keep it classy".

[biffnacid]

another great video chris, just a question how exactly do you know when you have properly torqued you screws. for example, the crankshaft pulley need to be set to 66 FT/LBS, how do you know when it has reached that mark, i know its probably a dumb question but i am just curious

[squidman101]

@biffnacid i think on a torqe wrench you can set it to the the torqe and it clicks when you have reached it

[nickyb628]

@biffnacid with torque wrenches you set the ft/lbs. to spec and then just tighten until the wrench clicks. it knows when you've reached the desired ft./lbs.
