As usual the ClubLoose media guys come through! Check out
these sweet Opening Moves videos with a couple good action
shots of the DriftLogix Mustang shredding it sideways.

ClubLoose "Opening Moves" was a huge success for us in terms of pre-season testing!
We were able to get the Mustang operational (minus the turbo
for now) in an effort to start dialing in the suspension.
The car honestly felt like it gained another 75 horsepower
just from the chassis lightening and other modifications.
Stay tuned for some great Opening Moves videos here shortly!

Crunch time! Getting everything ready for this
weekend's ClubLoose opener at Englishtown, NJ which we've
(at the last minute) decided to shoot for. As you can see
from the pics below we're almost finished with the 2012 body
panel conversion. All that's left as of today is the rear
bumper, trunk, and passenger side quarter panel.
All the wiring as been re-routed to give us additional tire clearance and the ECU and BEC have been moved back to a spot we opened on the firewall/cowl to give the upcoming #TurboLife Garrett Turbo room to breathe!

Great news, well, at least for us. We're proud
to announce that we will be competition in the complete Formula Drift
Pro-AM series USDrift! Be sure to check out the
events page for all the details. We're incredibly pumped to be
running this new NorthEast series; especially because it means less
money for gas and more money for tires.

We've had a ton of updates since our last post.
Although these pictures don't tell the entire story the car
has been cut and stripped of all its 2006 body panels in
prep for the new 2012 fiberglass. The rear quarters, door
skins and trunk have all been test fit for final
installation.
As part of the prep for the new Garrett Turbo we installed the radiator from Mishimoto and began converting the cooling system to a 2007+ configuration which reduces the "tube clutter" and moves the thermostat to the hot side of the radiator for better cooling. If anyone is looking for a quality radiator, the Mishimoto piece is exceptional. Everything is tig welded and it lined up perfectly with the stock mounts.
As you can see from the first picture below, we were able to remove a decent amount of "unneeded" wiring from the harness. There's more that came out once we got under the dash too. Currently in progress is the relocation of the stock ECU and relay/fuse box to the original battery location. A large chunk of the cowl was also junked in favor of more space and less weight.
Several pictures show the process for our 2012 light conversion. Since the headlight assembly is very different we had to make room and trim several areas of the stock mounts. We'll be lighting up the road with some HIDs and red "gatling" LEDs in the shroud for effect this year too!
Stay tuned as we continue progress on the body panels, cooling upgrades, and eliminate the factory charge motion plates (seriously, who from Ford thought that would be a good idea to install!).

What better way to keep the upcoming
Garrett
#TurboLife power to the ground than with a new 3+ clutch
from our newest sponsor,
SPEC Clutches
and Flywheels! Can't wait to get this high quality piece
on the car.

Winter update: We've started taking the car apart and getting
everything prepped for the big upgrades. The stock steering column is completely
gone in favor of a quick release and suede steering wheel mounted to a 3/4 inch
circle track type shaft. Still working on a custom mount with an end link to
secure it. Also moved and rewired all the necessities to a custom carbon fiber
switch panel we made to fit where the stock radio (which is also gone) was
originally.
Also pictured are some of the new fiberglass body panels we'll be installing to help lighten the chassis. Up next, making room for the new Garrett Turbo and Mishimoto Performance Radiator!

DriftLogix
is proud to announce our newest sponsor for the 2013 race season, Garrett Turbo
(www.facebook.com/turbolife). We
are incredibly excited about this opportunity and can't wait to show what a
turbocharged V8 Mustang is truly capable of. No more clutch-kicking to keep it
sideways! Look for higher entry speeds and some serious smoke from the Garret/Mishimoto DriftLogix Mustang.
