    new parts for my mustang, and something you may not know about me

    So I was going to buy some 3.73's for my car, but I just couldn't spend that much on the car yet (between the gears, rebuild kit and install) So instead, I opted for a K&N FIPK. (Arriving at Whiplash Motorsports Monday at approximately 10:30 a.m.)

    Leaving Whiplash, my cousin Adam (drives a SICK 03 cobra, fully built, full suspension, every bolt on and 200 shot...) calls me and says that his friend just pulled a set of 3.73's out of his GT to throw in some 4.10's, and that I could grab 'em for $75!!! But wait, it gets better! He said that he would ship me the stock diff from his Cobra because it's a little beefier than mine, and like everything else on his car, it's been replaced with bigger/better. So now, I'll have my intake on next week, and within a month or so I'll have 3.73's tucked inside a Cobra's diff, and I'll get some Moser 31 spline's to finish the rear end of.

    And something interesting that I'm not sure I've told you all-
    Have I ever mentioned that Michael Hauf is my Cousin? Not familiar with the name? Well here is is "ride":

    He called me an hour after Adam and told me he could hook me up with the right cam set up from Comp Cams!! But that's for next year... I still owe $7,900 on the car, haha.

    Holy crap! Why the hell didn't you get into Mustangs earlier, if he's your cousin! You've got a hell of a hook up there!

    Doesn't the Cobra have an independent rear, whereas your car has a solid axle? Will the diff be the same?
    I bet your cousin's car has the solid rear now. Most drag Cobra guys replace the independent suspension with that, because it launches better. Ask if you can have his old stuff and convert to the Cobra independent rear!

      I think he still runs the independent, and I checked on a mustang forum, and everyone says it should not only work, but it's a very good setup, especially with the Moser 31 splines.

      Yeah, Peg and Jim Hauf, Peg is my father's sister, Jim married Peg, had Mike, and a legendary drag racer is born, haha.

              Uh, when you say "donk it" this isn't what you had in mind, was it?

                  Should have known I couldn't sneak it by cb7tuner.

                  I just requested Monday off from work so I can install my friends K and N in the mustang after school... Happy face.
