What should I do? new to this

[USMC Roush]

Hey everyone, I hope you all will help me with this, I have a 2007 Roush Mustang, it's a stage 2, i'm still working on it, i have plenty of time to do so, i'm in Iraq for the next year.

Here's my thing, I'm not sure where to start, It's got the roush body kit on it, i love it, it's nice looking, the interior is the Jack Roush interior, signature embrodered into the seats and i as you see in my signature, i have a DVD player in dash.

what are some good websites to look at parts, i'm ordering true HID lights/halo's for both fog and headlights high and low beam. they are nice and i'm just looking for more, like rims if anyone has any idea on rims i'm open to suggestions and ideas. Please help i'm going insane out here in iraq and just need something to do, this would do it for me

[DaDant!]

spending money is always a great way to pass time in iraq. ive done it before as well.
americanmuscle.com, GREAT SITE! and any other one at the top of the page.
also a magazine that i like that has tons great articles and places to spend money is muscle mustangs and fast fords.....

suggestions for performance imo.
LT headers, offroad X-pipe, Gears, Custom tune, Forged internals, and Supercharger. then a custom tune.

[USMC Roush]

my buddy is doing my supercharger back home for 5k, what gears should i get? like i said i'm new i'm not sure what all is in it right now, should i go 4.10 or 3.73 gears, i want to get good gas mileage but also good accel and a decent top end. i've built a few older cars, i've done a truck and a camaro. I'm definately going to get headers and the X-pipe, i might get SLP loudmouth exhaust, buddy has it on his GTO and i love the sound it has. I'd do internals when i get home so i can do that myself though. any ideas on rims?

[DaDant!]

auto trans = 4.10 manual trans=3.73,
if slp is what you want then get it but a few of us around here say that they belong on a GM not a ford. but to each their own.
what rims do you have now, and what style are you looking for?

[DaDant!]

imo... for the exhaust i really like the sound of bassani. a little on the expensive side but great sound, rims. try this...

Right now i have the stock rims on it, just plain 5 point rims with the Roush "R" in the center, I know SLP is a more GM section but then again i'm not sure who would specialize in the Exhaust for FoMoCo and i don't wanna do the same thing and put on a flowmaster like most people do, Borla,Bassani and Pacesetter are nice but i don't know if they do anything for the mustang i know bassani does but not the other 2. I have a manual trans so i'll look into the 3.73 gears i'm looking for a 5 point with black chrome and a chrome lip

[USMC Roush]

i'm thinking about getting the GT500 rims for the car, i love those rims

[DaDant!]

a good setup for your stang i would think would be the BBK long tube headers, the Shorty offroad x pipe, and the bassani axle back exhaust.

[DaDant!]

im tellin ya ... AM is a GREAT site lol...

[USMC Roush]

yeah i'm there right now drooling over everything they have. they have the headlight conversion that i used for my car on here cheaper than what i paid... damnit

[DaDant!]

advice... broken box return... lol or tellin it was not what you expected.

[bbunt302]

I can't believe you want to get rid of the stock Roush wheels. I love those wheels. They are what I wanted on my '06 GT when I had it.

How about the wheels that came on the Ford GT?

[USMC Roush]

they are already installed and working i can't complain, i love them though, bright as hell, i'm sure everyone else hates them but i know my wife she's been taking my car out ever so often just to keep it running good and she says they work great during the night and hardly uses the low beams

[USMC Roush]

i'd even go for a stock Roush wheel if i could just get it in black with a chrome lip, i'm going for the blacked out look, i blacked out the tails and bought blacked out headlights

[DaDant!]

so is your mustang is a gt... but you added the roush body kit and interior. or is actually a Roush.

[USMC Roush]

it's a true roush, everything in it is roush i bought it like it is, and the paperwork all says roush so i'm hoping it's a true roush

i like these... Steeda Black Ultra Lite Mustang Wheel - 2005+ (18x9.5) at AmericanMuscle.com - Free Shipping!
but only on 2 conditions
1 back wheels are 20s by 10.5 and all black
2 fronts are 18 0r 19 by 9 and all black

[DaDant!]

i got you. you can always get your rims powder coated black and save money over buying new rims if you like the ones you have.

[USMC Roush]

good point, i never thought about the powder coating. i should probably get them chromed and then go and powercoat them the way i want them done. that's a good idea, because right now they are a kind of gunmetal grey. and Yeah, the car being a roush it is, it also has the Roush dash emblem as well and all the badges, so either someone went through great lenghts to turn it into a roush or it's a true roush. Just looking at it though all the mods and suspension options and everything it's the roush mustang. even if it's not, it'll sure pass as one so i'm good. haha, no one else seems to be able to tell if it is or not so i'm going with it is

[DaDant!]

best way to check would be a VIN check. its the only way to tell imo. what are you doing as far as a system.

[USMC Roush]

System i'm pulling out my garage and blowing the dust off of it. it's got 2 12's by kicker comp subs, 2000watt kicker amp and my head unit is a pioneer AVH-p5000dvd but the system is teh cheapest part thank god haha, don't have to buy anything for that, just had to buy the head unit and i'll be running 8ga wire

[USMC Roush]

i'll have to get pictures sent in of it to me here in iraq, but my wife also had it taken to a place and they custom built in my Garmin GPS system into the dash board, it's pretty sweet

[DaDant!]

running 2000w id go with 4 gauge. and a capacitor. my 500w memphis flashes my lights, and gauges with out it installed. least you already have a system.

[USMC Roush]

yeah, i might go 4ga i just already had a 8ga set of wires and 14 ga. speaker wire I have a 5 Farad Power Acoustik Cap that's pretty nice. what kind of system set up do you have

[DaDant!]

500.1 memphis amp. 2x 12 memphis PR, sealed box cause the ported didnt fit, (lol) 3 farad cap. 4 guage power and ground, and dont know what the speaker wire is. and an alpine headunit with the ipod connector. my wife stole my panasonic flip out dvd. next im gonna upgrade the speakers Memphis 3way in the front 4way in the back with the tweeter upgrade, and I NEED DYNOMAT! sounds like shit when im not in the car.

[USMC Roush]

yeah, i'm going to make it easy to quick disconnect my stereo because i'm big into the strip as well and i don't want it weighting me down

[DaDant!]

yeah. thats why im not going to get a custom box. so i can yank it out. im thinking about going with the rear seat delete kit as well... on a nother note.... the s/c will make up for the extra weight. lol

[USMC Roush]

yeah but without the weight and the s/c it'll be even better ... i just want to get off work, i haven't done shit ofr 4 hours now

[DaDant!]

your on the night shift huh?
been there. it sucked. smoked like 100 cartons while i was there for 6 months.

[USMC Roush]

damn, yeah, i'm night shift i'm here for a year though trying not to smoke though but it's getting harder just so bored.

[DaDant!]

Good Luck and stay safe brother.
