New ride

Recommended Posts

After almost 10 years of owning a new edge Cobra I finally decided to jump into a Terminator. My 01 has been down since August and I have no interest in fixing it. After some talking with the wife she told me to get something I really want. What I really want is a Mystichrome. The funny part is she found the listing. I went with Meanie to look it over today and ended up driving it home. I'm so frickin happy.

Steeda 2.81 upper, jlt RAI, h&r sports, accufab tb and plenum, mcleod RXT, MGW shifter, bassani o/r X, and flowmasters. It's supposed to have a Bama tune, but since I've been tuning my car since 2007 that'll change shortly after I swap the catted X and Stingers on.

That's a healthy mod list :2thumb:

And you're already planning to change the one thing that's meh (flowmasters) lol, cheers to you!

It's pretty much how I would've done it. I'm sure the flows would sound better with an H, but I love my Stingers.

I like it... But you're not Bob...

You'll get used to it.

Damn man! SUPER jealous!! I've always wanted a mystichrome. In due time, congrats on the purchase man!

Thanks. This one is 10 years in the making. I still have to remind myself it's mine.

Just a quick update. Since bringing it home I've been doing some work to make it mine. I've swapped my catted X and Stingers on. Sounds friggin awesome. Meanie helped me swap out all the IRS bushings. That was a long day/night, but made a world of difference in handling. I swapped in my level 5 half shafts and FR500's. The steering rack bushings were replaced with MM aluminum bushings. The old ones were ok, but since it was going in for an alignment I figured why not. It now has 3 coats of wax on

Those are from a trip to Az last weekend for a show. The car is currently at the body shop. I was rear ended the day before my birthday. His insurance is covering the bumper replacement. I figured while it was there I'd have them take care of the faded wing and spider web cracks in the decklid.

Before:

I have seen quite a few Terminators with the faded/bubbling paint on the spoiler, wonder why that is. Definitely a good looking car though! You have a 01 too? Id throw the Amber tails on the Mystichrome. :2thumb:

My buddy has a black 10th and had the same thing happen. But then another buddy has a white. 03 with no issues. So I'm not 100% sure of the cause. But now the paint will have a warranty. I had an 01. It went off to a new home a couple weeks ago. I thought about snagging the ambers, but couldn't do that to the new owner.

Thanks guys. I've had the car about a month and already put a couple thousand miles on it.

That was another thing I had fixed. The passenger seat ripped at one of seams on the bottom. The place that replaced the top on my wife's vert fixed it for $150.

The car is still at the paint shop. They're having issues blending the paint. I'm hoping to get it back next week.

We went to the Havasu Classic. It's geared more towards older cars. But the three of us still got a lot of looks.

Got the side windows tinted today. The car looks so much better now. Since TMI is running low on mystichrome leather I ordered a set of seat covers to keep just in case. It's weird to have to plan like that for a car.

For those that know True Forged tanks I managed to get the first polished El Puto tank. Judging by some of the reactions it might be the only one too.

While I had the system drained I went ahead and swapped out the heat exchanger. It's an LFP dual pass.

Probably not. I've always liked CCW. I've looked at other brands, but always come back to the CCW.

 

This.  Then my wife yells at me.
