another 6-speed mark viii

Looks like they used the 99-04 offset FR500's. They look like they stick out further than my 10" ones.
 
the wheels look like old mexican dayton's on a lowrider they are out way too much, and the stereo install looks like ass! i got nothing nice to say!
 
new 6 speed Mark

I have another Mark VIII under construction now getting a new 6 speed and Cobra intake setup. I will post pictures when it's complete next week.

I donno, I thought it looked pretty good overall. The wheels stick out a little, but I could live with it.
 
If my WRX wasn't a 6 speed already I would be up to trying to do this to my Mark. However I am lazy and like just putting this puppy in drive for now :cool:

Yup lazy is the right words. Especially in traffic having to switch gear up and down up and down. Automatic are great love me some large gear and a big tq converter.
 
Well I retract my earlier statement. I didnt think you would have so many people so quick to do the trans swap. Glad to see there are people willing to spend double the cars worth on a single mod! :lol:

Seriously, I am one of those kind of people and its nice to see some special cars out there. :)
 
Suspension was more than transmission.

The wheels and tires, Konis, Delrin bushings,Cobra brakes and all new front suspension parts, with a XR7 rear sway bar, frame and pumpkin stiffeners. ford racing pumpkin. SS brake lines. ZEX 100 shot. I will most likely put another 13-14K in the engine forged internals. and either a KB or twin turbos. it will be spring before this is done though. I'Ve got another set of seats and, may try to see how they will look in the back, with a custom console all the way back. I'm looking into putting the A/C from a Town car or Expedition in the seats. The stereo was another 3500 also. This car handles as well as the Corvette, and I really enjoy driving it more, you get that priceless look every now and then. I don't think you can get a better install on the shifter location this is a short throe unit it works very well.
 
know what you mean about the looks and fun better yet when they see and old man grabbing the gears.
