OK, as if I have NOT blown the socks off some of your feet or blown your minds on what's to come...Let me do so in case I missed ya. I came across a unprecedented opportunity to sell my current rollers at the same exact moment and day I found my "DREAM WHEEL". We all know I have always wanted a set for the ACURA TL but just could not fork the $2000.00+ bill for wheels ONLY! Well, here they are!
FORGESTAR F14's (matte grey finish) 20x9F & 20XMuthafkn 11 steam rollers out back! I will be going with a 275/35/20's front and Big Boi's out back 315/35/20's... If this does not impress you guys... I am done. I can't pull anymore tricks out my sleeves to please this tough crowd.
BRAND NEW IN THE BOX (removed for pics) Includes: Welcome packet, ForgeStar's microfiber towel and ForgeStar's licence plate frame. (nice touch btw from ForgeStar making someone feel better about the $ splurge...lol!)

Lord have mercy !!!
those rims are going to look fantastic...
Josh, I would use the gray plastic dip on the emblem to see how you like it...it will be an easier route to take if you decide to do a permanent change

2-3 weeks is not bad at all foo....man am very eager to see you hit the dyno/track and share those results...

Once on the road, there will be several steps and time frames to follow with the new short block installed during break in and repeated data logging before setting her free to fly again. So, there is still a lil more time then 2-3 weeks but I say 2-3 weeks the break in driving and processes go.

So, there is still a lil more time then 2-3 weeks but I say 2-3 weeks before this starts and she is at least driving. After that, just drive and enjoy and slowly work myself back to the strip. I have LOTS to catch up on before I think of racing again.

Humble much?
Don't mod for me, bud! Share because you want to...who knows, maybe you can even visit other people's builds on this site.
Your modding and how quickly you learn has always been impressive though, just so pretentious.
All that said, congrats, man...I've seen Austin's F14's up close and they were very nice and lightweight. I'm sure 20's will look fantastic.

this car is going to be a beast, and i really like those wheels on the mustang! in for wheel pics. oh and i think the matte stripe down the middle is a great touch...told my brother who has a base mustang in black, but he doesn't have the mod bug AT ALL (such a shame for the mustang line, so many options...)
if you don't mind, how much are you throwing down for the rebuild/upgrade? seems crazy expensive, especially for a new car

Thanks brotha! BEST ADMIN EVAH! Really...other sites have some serious Superiority issues or just don't give a damn.

NOTE: cost given above is (SB) Short Block alone! Not to mention a crazy insane approx 30hr labor bill my boy HOOKED me up @ $1500.00. As for everything else? Kinda hard to tell at this moment since lots has been sold and virtually considered traded to go different directions with some funds here and there required or not. This follows under the HUSTLE GAME. Not really considered as a expense report...lol! But more as a "COME UP!" or "A LICK!"

Well, my point was that you didn't say Flip instead of Foot because of a misspelling...you just didn't know the right word for the saying "foot the bill". I do it in jest, but also because I figure you might not know you're saying the wrong thing. If you don't care or feel attacked, I sincerely apologize and wish I didn't come across so smart assed and know it all.

UPDATE: As far as the Build/Repair goes, just ordered and bought all needed supplies for rebuild to the fresh motor. FORD OEM: Head gaskets, valve cover gaskets, oil pan gasket, oil return tube and Oil pump is currently on BackOrder waiting for a release date back to the dealers shelves. Until then, I do have a back up OEM Oil Pump from a friend that he will sell me if needed BNIB. Also, ordering ARP Head Stud Kits to lock everything down and matching the insurance that secures the bottom end with ARP Hardware. U can never go wrong with ARP! And last, dropped the fuel inj's off at BOOSTLAB for some flow bench testing to sorta figure out if they were the cause or some sort of odd ball mechanical failure is to blame. If all test fine, I will keep em. If not, then it will require a new set of Ford #LU47lb inj. Movin right along now 8-)
Sneak Peek as they arrived followed by the steam rollers (tires) Had a lil help from my lil man rollin them in...lol
