    Whats up guys. Ive been working on my car everyday for like the past 2 weeks just fixing up and cleaning anything I could. I bought a dremel a couple days ago, and its the first one i've gotten so I am in love with it. I used it today to make a hole larger behind my strut tower so I can hide some wires. Im also getting my Anderson Power pipe tomorrow which is why I did this so itll be nice and clean when she goes in and the MAF sensor will just plug right in. Anyways here's the pics, please dont look at the right side haha that will come later.

    I used my Dremel in just about every project I've embarked on since I bought it 3 years ago, car related or not. The things are friggin sweet. Last weekend, though, it finally died. :( Oh well, time for an upgrade. :nice:

    good inspiration for me though.

    Cool, you should post some pics when your done.

    Blackened I've been lurking around for the past few weeks, mostly posting in tech asking questions. But I am back and dont plan on going anywhere. Unfortunatly I havent gotten to the 12's club yet. I sold my slicks before I ever had a chance to go to the track and run it with the heads. I went recently on bald street tires and I got the mph to probably just break 12's. Even my old slicks though were used before I got them I could only cut a 1.8 with them, so I plan on getting a set of et radials real soon and I'll be getting into the 12's for sure. I have a 3g alternator I had in but something was wrong with the wiring so I put my 2g back in for now, next will be an electric fan, pulleys, fuel pressure regulator, then save up for some MT DR's and im hoping to be running consistent mid-high 12's. Power pipe gets here tomorrow though so I'll post some pics in here when I get them. Finally getting rid of the beastly mail box I mean air box.

    Man I waited allll day for the UPS guy to come today and he finally came at 6pm right when I lost hope of him coming today. I may have to work in the dark tomorrow after work to get her on, I am pretty excited.

    It's a beautiful piece, I am probably going to take off that Anderson sticker though. Anyone know where I can find a black throttle body coupler?

    Fill all them holes! I think ford shot the inner fender aprons with buckshot:uzi: Still can't get over how many holes there are. The passenger side looks alot better, need to get the driver side all spruced up now. Looks good:nice:

    It was a case for a GPS haha but I sold the GPS on Ebay, that's what happens when you get discounted parts at work, you sell them on ebay, but I use that case for my camera now. Anyways yea I will be working on the driver side real soon, that is definitely the harder side to hide though.

    its actually not that bad, especially if the paint and body are as clean as on the other side. i was able to route all the wires through the windshield washer fluid hole, so everything is hidden under the reservoir. im going to get an oem style coil cover to throw over the solenoid and crap too, so all my stock components are in the stock locations, but you wont see any wires forward of the strut tower.

    Yea chuckman I've done it before, but my solenoid cracked one day while driving so I put it all back, thats probably why its SO messy, I think I didnt have it on a sturdy ground.

    Cenok I am using the 95 GT MAF, havent been able to get it on yet though to see if it works, the one I got had one of the sensor wires broken so I had to swap it out for a new one .

    coming along nicely man, I was wondering where you disappeared too. I'm kinda in the process of making a very similar combo with my 95 except with an e-cam for the time being and also hiding wires. keep us posted with pics! Also where did you get the n/a anderson powerpipe?

    Yea I've been working on my car a lot lately like I said and there's just something about working on your car that makes you want to go on Stangnet, they kinda go hand in hand. Get tips, and see what other people are doing to their cars.

    I got the pipe from:
    Anderson Ford Motorsport Home Page

    Just click on your car year and click Power Pipe, scroll down the N/A section, there's a few different kinds, I got the 3 1/2" that puts the MAF in the fender. They are very picky about what MAF they recommend putting in the fender so you don't have drive ability problems but I am going to try and use the 95GT MAF and see how it works.
