Well, since the Mach went back to mostly stock, I held on to the FR500's & front coil overs & finally got them swapped over to the Notch. I must say I like this look A LOT better than the 17's. I know Luke87GT will approve LOL!!! These pics are not my normal DSLR quality, they were takin with my phone...


Still need to do a few tweeks before I can drive it. The 295's rub on the passenger side tailpipe, so much that I had to temporarily install 1/4" spacers out back which I will most likely remove once the exhaust is right. Im not too sure, but I think the 265's might need to be swapped out for some 255's up front. The camber has not been adjusted yet either....Enjoy!!!

Dustin, that thing sits VERY nice! I was never a fan on the 10th anniversary 17's (sorry ), but those FR's fit the car very nicely! They are wide and tuck in perfectly! The car looks very aggressive!

So what're your plans for this car? More of a straight-line racer?

Thanks guys...

Yeah that antenna was just temporary, but thanks for reminding me, thats another thing I need to steal from the mach before I sell it, the shorty antenna LOL...

Ian, thanks. When I bought the 10th anni's they looked better in pictures than in person. I always knew eventually I would go with 18's & i think this fit the car perfect until I can afford some CCW's.... As far as my plans, I want this car to be an all around car. Eventually it will be getting an MM phb/tq arm setup in the rear, but I doubt it will get the K member setup. I never really liked how noisy the k member was. Next up though is my blower install, that is after I get my CTS V LOL...

I have ranger axles, but right now the rear has a temporary 1/4" spacer to clear the exhaust...


I may get the windows tinted 1 day, but for some reason I kinda dig the fish bowl look on this car LOL...

Thanks again guys...

The 10th anni's made it on to the Mach, & although they don't look as good as the FR's did, they aren't 1/2 bad at all.

Ya'll wouldn't even recognize the Mach anymore. No cobra body parts, no killer stance, no FR500's, but its still a super clean car...

Yes Sir! BIG improvement IMHO. Not only do the wheels look better, but the stance and the wheel position has improved as well, not to mention those BFGs simply look hot. These are the same wheels I was going to do on my notch before the BBS wheels came along.

Everything is on point! I would keep the tire size as-is and do whatever is necessary to get everything to clear.

So the Mach is going completely back to stock huh? I assume you will sell all the aftermarket parts and sell it as a stock car then?

Also, I don't mind the red interior, but I wonder if all the opinions will eventually get to you and you will end up with black or grey, lol. I'm going through the same thing with my tan. I love it, but people give me a hard time lol.

Lastly, is it an illusion or does your passenger front stick out a hair further than your driver side? I had a similar prob with my 93 until I did the Griggs K and that made it completely even... If you already have the coilovers, I would probably find a used K and A-arms however.

Best of luck man!

Damn Dustin, just when I thought the car looks really good, you make it look even better....The tires look perfect even the wide ass fronts, if they don't rub too much I would keep them if I were you...Car looks bad ass!

Posted by *EPIK* (Member # 7481) on :
 
Thanks guys. Im not sure if the fronts rub, because the rear passenger rubs on the tailpipe so bad I only drove it up the street & back.

Luke, the car REALLY needs an alignment, so that may be why it appears to stick out more on that side. I have yet to align the car since Ive owned it, so Im sure the toe & camber settings are way off.

The Mach is back to MOSTLY stock. All it has as far as mods are Bassani catback, C&L intake, centerforce clutch, aluminum flywheel, adjustable quadrant, 4.10's, subframes, HID's, & energy suspension motor/trans mounts. Oh yeah, & it has the 10th anni's on it as well, which don't look 1/2 bad IMO. The car is still super clean & low mileage so its well worth my asking price of $12,500. Not to mention it still has the freshly rebuilt heads...

All of the other mods are sold already

I may be wrong but I want to say that i thought i heard you say that nothing bigger than a 17" wheel, on a fox. Look at you now. Puttin 18's on a fox. I know its fun to have some extra parts to play around with, or in your case some extra wheels. Welcome to the dark side, looks good Epik.

Thanks...LOL. I never said nothing bigger than 17's on a fox, but I did say that 17's look better. I am eating my words now though because this looks way too beefy to deny IMO...
