Adding video of stock brake line, + actual MKIV TT FRONT wheel (complete wheel, lol) to the first Group Buy thread.

I've got 2 shops willing to buy 5 sets each, plus mine and Jeff's setup - so 12 sets accounted for so far. I have no doubt we'll hit the 15 set mark ;)

So assuming Cobra and Mach 1 'stangs use the same pads with just different part numbers Porterfield Makes RS4 pads for them at a decent price (listed for the cobra but Rabestos uses the same pads for Cobra and Mach 1 for their race pads.)! :D



(about the same as toyota pads from a dealer with mark up) :)

Jeff's happily put about 40 miles on his car yesterday. Top off, laptop in hand, tuning 0-100kPa on the AEM, I think he was in disbelief/shock that he was FINALLY driving his Supra :D

As we started to work on roughing in the boost map, we noticed smoke - :( Head back to the shop, realize the dipstick in no way seals. Back on the lift, and we find a major oil leak from the driver's side oil pan. So we stop, and today Jeff and his dad pull the subframe, and pull out his old oil pump (had low pressure problems) - I gave him my blueprinted via Bryan Maloof Racing oil pump and oil squirters (since Monday is a holiday) and he's going to just order up more from Toyota. I'll get those, send 'em back to Bryan, and get them taken care of. I don't mind tossing my blueprinted parts on Jeff's car - his actually runs. And we've got a white Evo around here that needs a serious ass kicking (he's a cocky SOB, from what I've heard. He hasn't gone up against Doward's Tuning and Hines High Performance yet ;))

Anyway - zach, next is a T56 conversion kit. Then subframe connectors and a complete under body tray ;)

Zum - that's the beauty. The Mustang has a HUGE aftermarket - we'll get to take advantage of that!

Sell 8 more sets, and we'll have another price drop, btw ;)

I haven't thrown that idea away just yet. I've been doing a little bit of research, but come January/February (as long as this GB goes well) I might have something cooked up for everyone ;)

Only thing about doing a rear kit is that a lot of people drag race and need a 15' wheel. If you could make something great that would fit that WOW!! It would be hard though, I know!!

I'm looking at some options. I've got an 11.8" kit that may fit pretty well back there. I'm doing some more research ;)

BTW - Depending on how many kits Rob gets, and if Slim picks up 5 for the Aussies on the board, I think we can say we'll hit 25 kits

Which means if we sell two more kits the price will be $235/each!

John, what's the p/n for the calipers? I found a set of slotted rotors I want to try, so I'm won't be getting the ford racing kit, and am going to have to source the calipers, thanks.

Look up any calipers for a 94-04 Cobra :)

It's Not Important Bro
Complete Under Body Tray FTW. Hell yea that would just OWN bro!!!!!!

I am down with the BBK kit. Payment will be sent today around noon.

Also - For those of you who have not seen it, there is an excellent "Master Cylinder Brace" group buy in the Classified Approved Group Buy section. I would think this would a nice compliment to Doward's BBK.
