95riosnake Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 Dan is that a custom made power pipe your running? Im running the anderson on mine and it still barely touches the top of my 3.5 in raised hood.It started out as an Anderson 94/95 N/A power pipe, I welded an elbow onto the TB end for the fox conversion, and also welded on the hanger that bolts to the inner fender panel. Do you have one of their fox ones?Are you going to be covering the door pull cups as well or will this be the only CF piece inside?I already have carbon door pull cups, door handle cups, cluster bezel and console lid so the radio and shifter bezels will complete the set so to speak :thumb: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What manufacture made them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted July 1, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 All the carbon fiber stuff I had in the car already were from other companies, Carbon Driven only made the radio and shifter bezels above. I got the door cups and door handle cups from SVTP classifieds, a guy bought a terminator that had them and he wasn't a fan of carbon, the console lid came from eBay, and the cluster bezel is an Autometer piece I sent out to have wrapped with carbon fiber.CD does make factory replacement pillars in carbon fiber, but I'm waiting for them to come out with a version that has a dual gauge pod in it. The guy must be one crazy busy dude because he's released half a dozen new 94-04 carbon parts in the last 6 months or so. I don't think I've seen a new part come out for a pre-05 mustang in a long time, especially anything made out of CF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WildWillyWalker Posted July 1, 2013 Report Share Posted July 1, 2013 That looks awesome. I would love some carbon pieces (console/shifter, door panel cups and cowl) but I can't justify spending money on them. Especially because I'll probably just break them and I could spend the money on performance parts anywa. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted July 2, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 (edited) Ohhhh sorry Jed, I thought you meant the intake pipe from the driver's fender to the TB. I made the power pipe myself (quite inexpensively I might add). Basically it's just a 90 degree 4" aluminum elbow and a 90 degree 4" silicone coupler. Then I just picked out a K&N filter that would fit in the space I had to work with. It's a lot cheaper way to do it at only $57.94 (plus whatever filter you choose) vs. $130 for the Anderson piece. Plus it isn't nearly as high and does not hit my hood! :thumb:The aluminum elbow is Spectre part # 9799 and the silicone coupler is Spectre part # 9781Aluminum elbowhttp://m.summitracing.com/parts/spe-9799Couplerhttp://m.summitracing.com/parts/spe-9781 Edited July 2, 2013 by 95riosnake Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ttocs Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 here is the circuit I was talking about to kick the cut outs open with a WOT switch. When the switch is activated it will power the valves open for 3 secs and then keep them open for 10 secs. All that is turned off if the other switch to open them is used. http://www.kptechnologies.com/products.php#/21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ttocs Posted July 2, 2013 Report Share Posted July 2, 2013 there isn't a pic or anything as he just put it up, just a description. I saw a pic of it and its just a simple black box with a potentiometer and a label on top probably 4" x 4". Looks like a simple install and its also an easy way to keep from burning the valves up since it would do it for the amount of time needed. Like I said mine is supposed to be on its way, will update you when I know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I need some help finding some clips for the radio bezel. The new carbon fiber bezel is designed to use the factory metal clips to hold it in place, but didn't come with them (I didn't expect it to). I can't seem to get the clips off my stock bezel, and even if I could, the 95's single din-style bezel only has 2 clips and I need 4 for the double din bezel. I have looked on CJPP and every other site I could think of with no luck. Anyone know where I can buy 4 of these? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 Those are close, the stock ones have a circular base though. BUT... thanks for the link, I googled the part number that the first link said it replaced and found this:http://autobodyclips.com/Hardware-Clips-&-Fasteners/c82_7/p12606/12606/product_info.htmlLooks to be the right part, thanks for the links!

95riosnake Posted July 5, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 I appreciate it! Just ordered them, $13 shipped for a bag of 25 clips isn't bad at all. I guarantee if I found them on a mustang parts site they'd be like $5 each lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackmage Posted July 5, 2013 Report Share Posted July 5, 2013 haha no kidding right? i use that site all the time to find random clips and bolts. A few years back we couldn't find the rocker moulding clips anywhere, and that site came to the rescue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Ok so I got back to working on the car this weekend.Started modding the single din dash to accept the double din CF bezel. The older dashboards have two mounting ears that need to be cut off, so those got the axe.Cleaned up the cuts with a file and also clearanced the bottom bar a bit for the bottom of the bezel to sit flush. I'll need to make a couple small aluminum brackets for the bottom two spring clips of the bezel to snap into. Once the clips I ordered show up I'll get to work on that.Couldn't do much more to the dash for now so I turned my attention back to mounting the air tank in the trunk.Grabbed my profile gauge to copy the area of the trunk opening where the upper brackets for the frame will mountTransferred the curve to cardboardCardboard bracket mocked upMarked out and ready to cut from a plate of .188" steelGot down to business with the band saw and drill pressThe tank brackets needed the bottoms cut off to work how I wanted, so I marked them for a little surgery, I had them marked in this pic to cut the sides to make them circular but ended up deciding I liked them how they are.Mounted them back on the air tankFinished up the other main tube of the mounting frame for the tank today. It was a little nerve racking because I had to make sure they were exact mirror images of each other, and the angle had to be perfect or it will drive me crazy forever, lol. I planned to tack weld the upper mounting brackets in place, but I need to get some bolts to bolt them onto the heim joints first so I can make sure everything will line up before I start welding. So in the meantime they are shown here propped up on some boards and scrap.Sat the tank in place to give you an idea where I'm going with all this. I'll need to make a couple brackets to weld to the mounting arms for the tank brackets to bolt to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

95riosnake Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 Thanks! I've been brainstorming how to mount this tank for months in my head lol. I think it's gonna turn out sick once I'm done with it!I decided to get it wrapped in black suede/alcantara, haven't done that yet because it would just get all messed up while I'm working on the air stuff so I'll wait till the fabrication phase is done.

Prokiller Posted July 8, 2013 Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 which way are the lines going to run? over the top or down below the tank? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95riosnake Posted July 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2013 which way are the lines going to run? over the top or down below the tank?Below, I've thought about turning the tank around so the ports face the rear seat but then you'll be able to see the welded seam that runs the length of the tank. You can kind of see it in this picture, not the prettiest. This area of the tank isn't perfectly round so there's a small gap between it and the tank brackets also.I suppose I could smooth it out with a bunch of JB weld and sand it smooth so it could still be powder coated... not sure yet.
