What color is that its beautiful. I don't think i have ever seen one that color. Is it a factory or aftermarket color.

@jracer2 late model Toyota Lexus Spectra Blue mika brand is PPG type is DBU paint code is 5473 it is slightly lighter then ford royal blue. Looks dark in the shade or garage, but really pops in the daylight. I got it from this link on Cobra Blue colors it is #3.

@jracer2 not letting me post the link for some reason. You can do a search for Cobra blue paint and this was on a site at primequip.

Sounds nice...My only concern would be blown motor or head gasket would dump coolant right under the right rear tire and that means bye bye very nice stang

[jrblues09]

@79pacecar347 Confused? A blown motor depending on what happened could put oil down anywhere. A head gasket could/would put coolant in the oil pan or let hot gas into the coolant path. Nothing any different than any other car in that respect. I do have an issue with gear oil escaping out the blow off tube on the rear from high pressures down the axle tube from the Torsen T2R. That really could send me spinning. I have to watch it close. Nothing seems to be fixing that.

@jrblues09 sounds good keep me posted, are you going AFR?

[jrblues09]

@91fiveohnotch Probably, but undecided right now. Currently with mildly ported Twisted Wedge Fast as Cast. I haven't dyno'd yet, and it really needs tuned to run much better. Carb setup is nice, but needs work in tuning to get more. Will try to work through that and other fuel concerns first.

[91fiveohnotch]

Carb is the way! Mines still efi and sick of 20yr old sensors shitting the bed on me, slap a carb on and be done with it lol and either AFR or TFS are a great choice. And im bot into the whole homie the clown look but some 18" saleen wheels would look great in that car or some welds of course

[jrblues09]

@91fiveohnotch Will probably move on up to 205 or 225 heads now with a more radical cam. On the road course I had plenty of power running in 4th and 5th but could now utilize the bigger heads since I probably won't drive it much on the street anymore.

[jrblues09]

@FordSVT1313 Not a problem at all right now. Will lower soon with Maier Racing flared fenders and move to much wider tires and drop the coil overs down lower. Lots of clearance right now. suspension is tight and at times a bit noisy though, but on the road course it handles and runs better than my 2012 Boss Clone.
