Pearlcav's replacement
Friday, April 29, 2011 6:01 AM
Most of you probably know i sold the pearlcav a couple months ago. I wasnt going to, but i got offered 7,500 dollars for it, so i couldnt refuse that. I miss the car and how damn fun it was to drive. Anyway i found this car a couple weeks after, and got a great deal on it. I basically broke even on this deal, and it has less miles than the cav, and books for close to twice as much. Below is a mods list and what I have done to it so far.

MODS:
BBK cold air
BBK shorty headers
BBK O/R X pipe (no cats)
Flowmaster 40s
Hurst short shifter
Steeda springs w/ camber plates
SCT Programmer

When I bought the car, it had FR500's 18x9 all around. Immediately i had to fatten up the rear, so below is a few pics of when i bought it then a little progress pics after some new rears. I have also installed a new pioneer headunit. I have a mach 1 lip i also need to get installed after i get the front bumper repainted. Sorry i really dont have any good pics of it yet, and all of these have been taken with my iphone since my camera @!#$ itself.





Heres the new tires-BFG 295/35/18



The new FR's for the back with the tires mounted, 18x10's





Heres a quick shot of it along with my buddies widebody twin turbo Z





Thanks for looking, i must say it is fun to drive a v8 rear wheel drive car, so much different than the cav.

Looks great, probably my favorite body style Mustang. I say chop off that antenna, do a grille delete and mach 1 lip and you're good to do!

prowler-funny you said that about the antenna, 2 days ago we chopped it down to 10 inches and put the ball back on, much easier than paying 40 bucks for one!

eternal-thanks, thats exactly what i thought! I was going to sell it for 6,000 to someone, and they backed out, so i thought i was just stuck with it for awhile, then my buddy offered me that, i would have been dumb as hell not to take it lol. Patience is the key i guess!

jew-im with ya, ive never owned a ford, but a stang is the only one i would own probably. Its not to shabby, and i love the torque

congrats, that's a nice pony.
have you thought about taking the rear spoiler off? i think they look great/slick without them.

Congrats on the new car. I don't care for mustangs much, but I don't hate this one.

However, I think an even bigger congratulations is in order for managing to get $7500 for your cavalier.

Thanks guys, I love this car, its such a different feel from the cav lol.

Tabs-your exactly right, everyone sais that they cant see me driving anything else but a cav, lol.

Spalattero- I have thought about it, I like them wingless as well, but the wing on mine is actually moved back an inch, so the end sits flush with the trunk and the wing goes out a bit, in person it looks pretty awesome, a lot of people dont even realize its the factory wing.

Heres a few more pics I took of the car last night

the only thing i would do is the Cobra spoiler

I think the spoiler looks perfect as is. I wouldnt touch anything on the appearance side and just dump whatever money into performance. Period. But thats me...

the only more exterior mods i plan on doing is the mach 1 lip (which i already have) and the grille delete.

I dont want to dump a lot of money into this thing like i did the cav, it runs good as is, and force induction is EXPENSIVE for these things.

Glad to see I'm not the only guy to move from J to 'stang. I went with red myself...

Gotta love that wheel/tire combo with that color. And V8 torque =

Can't say as I care for that Z though. Too much IMO.

Sleeper style, they don't see it coming that way.

I was looking at the pictures and thought it could use a lip but wasnt sure what all options there were, if any. Can't wait to see it.
