Hello all! My name is Danielle, and I own a 1997 Mustang Cobra. I will have to say, some people call my cleanliness with the car is an unhealthy one. LOL

I am always looking to learn something new, and am anxious to find new ways of caring for the car!

Here are a couple pictures..

looks very nice and welcome! what's your 'normal' process/regimen? Certainly looks clean, even on that dirt road...lol
 
Its only unhealthy if you wax your car only so you can breath in the smells.

Welcome!
 
Ahh, I miss those Florida back roads.

Welcome! Very nice car.
 
Welcome to AG. The car looks great. I use to live right down the road from Lake Worth
 
Welcome Danielle! Car looks great! Is that a intercooler I spy in the front bumper :D? So supercharged or turbo'd?
 
Great looking ride!

Welcome to the House of Fanatics!

Black cars look fantastic for oh, say....30-45 seconds after completion.

The product I use the most is the Wolfgang, and a day or 2 after I'll follow with some Pinnacle. I try and wax the car at least once a month, but if I'm feeling a little OCD I'll put a coat on in between lol. I also use the poorboy's world tire shine on my tires..that stuff is awesome Im the MAN

hahaha that is awesome...I must say, the pinnacle does smell very nice :X
 
haha well actually, as ridiculous as it may seem, I actually drove maybe 10 feet onto that dirt road just to get the pictures. I was on my lunch break at work, and my car look too pretty to pass it up LOL

haha yes you do see an intercooler! The car is my daily, so I am not finished installing the turbo. My b/f and I are building a custom kit for the car, so we are all done with the bracketry, and are starting on the piping. I am hoping for it to be done within the next month or 2.

Here are a couple pictures. Please disregard my engine bay LOL. It is a mess and a work in progress...There are also going to be some changes coming along with the turbo kit. The timing adjuster you see on the crank pulley is now gone, and the factory coolant reservoir is going to be replaced with a modified Canton reservoir.

I like the mystic intake it really make the engine bay look purdy. I dream of being boosted some day. But I'll go with a self contained blower like the KB. Us 94/95 guys don't have as many options as the older 5.0's do. But if/when Vortec comes out with a self contained blower for us I'll go that route to keep under hood temps down.
Do you plan on any hi temp ceramic coating any of the pipes?

nice! I definitely won't go near anything but a turbo after riding in my b/f's turbo car. My car had a blower on it when I first got it, and there's nothing like the feeling of a turbo.

I'll definitely be coating everything. I am doing all of the hot side with Stainless, then I'll take it all to get ceramic coated...my dilema is what color I am going to get it all coated LOL
 
Nice, i know Red/Black combo is used everywhere but its so sweet when powder coated :) the hard part is to pick which parts are red/black :)

Dont forget after pic when you finish :)
 
Thanks everyone! Figured I'd show you all a better pic of the powder coating in the engine bay...those turbo pics were taken with a crappy camera and give it no justice :P lol
