Many years in the making, but now, at 42 years old, I’ve finally ordered the kit I’ve been coveting for well over a decade. By way of background, I grew up poor with nothing and barely graduated high school —and went into the Marines two weeks after I returned 18. After getting off active duty, I spent a couple years in engineering school before I got sent to the wars in the Mideast in 2002. After that, I didn’t finish school or go back to my old job, but I spent many years bouncing between jobs before I ended up as a firefighter/paramedic for about 10 years, until the time I started to law school in 2016. Graduated first in class, and got the job I love doing. So, yeah, life has been good to me (at least lately) and I’ve earned all of it. Including this.
I just ordered my complete kit with IRS, Coyote install and PS setup, and all the other basic stuff.
I’ll be getting my Coyote from Forte and I plan to integrate a RaceTCS traction control along with an ABS system from a 2008 GT500. I’ve already confirmed operations of the ABS unit, but built a full test bench. I’ll do a write up on that when I have a chance.
I’m not sure what all changes I’ll be making, but there will be some. I plan to do a veneer by overlay on the dash and trans tunnel, e-brake, and whatever else I come up with as I go. I expect this to be a 3-4 year project because of how much time I spend traveling. But, I’ll never be in a rush, and will be doing it with the highest attention to detail, which is needed to satisfy my anal-retentive/ADHD propensities.
