WTF is up with all of the same pic
Project Brokenpony- Drifting is Gay
9
And I do it anyway.
![]()
This is my 97 Mustang GT. I bought it almost a year and a half ago with 209k miles on it. I had chosen drifting earlier as I have no interest in drag racing, autocross is too linear, and Montgomery ain't my scene. I wanted to build a car that was a combination of roadcourse and drift from the getgo, with an emphasis on getting it sideways.
I chose a Mustang rather than a 240 or RX7 as I already had some degree of familiarity and also didn't want to look like every other car on the starting line. The GT came up on Craigslist in Denver and literally using all the money I had I bought it for 2000 dollars and had it shipped down.

In short order, I set about modifying it. My current mod-list is:
4 point roll bar
Sparco Pro 2000 seats w/stupidly expensive accompanying brackets
Takata harnesses
Steeda short throw shifter
Walbro two-fiddy-fave
Eibach Pro-Street Coilovers
Maximum Motorsports caster/camber plates
Cobra 2 piston brakes w/ stainless steel lines and Brembo blank rotors
160 degree thermostat
NGK spark plugs
MSD coilpacks
10.2mm spark plug wires
Maximum Motorsports panhard bar
AEM CAI
Maximum Motorsports A arms
Maximum Motorsports solid motor mounts
AEM temperature gauge
Wild Rides torque box reinforcements
Maximum Motorsports SFC's
There was a period where I ran the car into a curb and folded the front in.

1100 dollars worth of frame straightening got it working again.
Next up is my rear end project. I got a rear end out of an 04 Mach 1 that I'm planning to build up to a pretty decent spec. I'll be going with an Auburn electronic 8.8 locker so I can have the option of a locked diff when I want it. I'll also be going 9 inch ends, 31 spline axles, and all the associated crap that goes with it.
Pictures in happy days.

Too bad my differential money is going to fixing my V6.

Lets recount my weekend.
![]()
I drove 250 miles to Deming for the ASR track day using a borrowed truck and a borrowed trailer.

And I get there and find my P.I. intake manifold, which I paid someone to replace as the original one was cracked, was leaking in three different spots to the tune of about 3 or 4 drips a second underneath the car. I did 3 laps of the track, loaded my car back on to the trailer, and went to Tucson and ended up at a gay party with lots of frat boy ****-sticks which thoroughly hammered the nail in the coffin in to my weekend. I'm pissed at such a wide variety of things right now.

I really have no taste for this car anymore. I'm going to throw some money at the 01 now and make it look nice, and I really don't care about this car. It can go **** itsself. I don't really care about drifting right now with everything go on in my life, and I hate working on cars, so whatever. It's only an intake as of now but the car is a piece of shit that could do with a new everything.
