Steve-Oh Posted December 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted December 18, 2017 My new project is to tackle the fog lights. Dunno about you guys but these factory fogs need to GO! ... and they've needed to go since I did the headlights years ago. No one really makes a clear fog light for our poor cars anymore so I've decided to go with a 2003-2004 Cobra clear fog light as the base. I'll need to make brackets to fit but I think it'll be worth it in the end. The plan is as follows: Disassemble the Cobra fog lights and retrofit TRS's Morimoto Matchbox projectors into the housing. Paint everything black, less the projector lens itself, to provide the "smoked" look like with the headlights. I'll do a 3000k HID kit for the projectors as I really do love the look of the yellow fogs with the crisp "white" color of the HID headlights. Just for reference here is how terrible the front end of the car looks now: Sorry that this isn't more of a legit update, but figured it's a start for the winter months. Also I ordered a bunch of stainless rod to makes intake studs out of. I stripped out the rear driver lower manifold hole so there's a pretty bad air leak there. So I'm going to helicolil and use studs this time. Hopefully that'll eliminate the chances of stripping it out again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-Oh Posted February 16, 2018 Author Report Share Posted February 16, 2018 They seem to fit, tires should be here today. Rears may need to be spaced out a smidge but that's okay! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So worst case I have to camber the fronts a little to bring the tops in. Close enough though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately I can't find the clear fog lights anywhere, all the places I looked were out of stock. When I made that post I had ordered them from Amazon since they said they had a couple pairs. Two days later it did the magical Amazon disappearing act and they were canceled. So I'm waiting to see what other options I have for fog lights. In the meantime I put them in my friends GTO fog lights, they fit really nicely: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompOrangeSN95 Posted February 17, 2018 Report Share Posted February 17, 2018 Those wheels are awesome. I think the spacing is going to be perfect once you mount the tires. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the spacing is going to be perfect once you mount the tires. Actually the spacing worked out the opposite I thought it would. The fronts sit pretty flush and the rears are tucked in about 1/4". Just gonna space the rears out some and should be good. I thought the fronts we're gonna stick out a lot but pleasantly surprised when they didn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's funny because I honestly basically guessed at the offsets. I took the offsets from the old wheels and just made them close 4 hours ago, CompOrangeSN95 said: They look killer on the car.

The shop is doing an alignment and inspection on it now plus installing a new steering shaft. I guess I toasted the old one with the old exhaust setup.

Steve-Oh Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 @Prokiller I finally put a new shorter belt on. No more tensioner clicking noise! ... and it doesn't fall off anymore. Don't know how it lasted all through Mustang Week. I figured a few things out. So I'm an idiot, preface, and forgot to tighten all the intake tube clamps so that was falling off. Then the bracket for the mass air was loose so that was falling off... In short, my whole intake tube was leaking and falling off. Hopefully it'll run better now! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve-Oh Posted March 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted March 23, 2018 Also took a couple photo's with the mobile phone. Should be good enough but still need to space the rears out and drop the ride height some. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Took a day last Friday and knocked out the exhaust. I knew I would need to drive it a little since the misses car took a shit on us (more on that shortly). It's not the best but it works. Made it from 3" steel tubing and tried to tuck it up as high as I could which is why it's all mismatched and such. Idle video, quieter than the open headers but still drones inside like a mother fucker. Will probably have someone make tips for it this summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted April 26, 2018 Report Share Posted April 26, 2018 Don't you love how it's impossible to have both a symmetrical exhaust, and one that has ground clearance? The undercarriages of these cars are so damn frustrating. Nice work though, personally I think it sounds pretty damn good! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve-Oh Posted February 1, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 1, 2019 I was perusing and saw an MM thread. I forgot the shop that aligned it took the front sway bar off because it was rubbing the oil pan. Should probably order that soon. My life has been consumed with business bullshit and spending 99% of profits on maintenance. Poor car and my Jeep have been neglected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
