Some of us bolt-on power under the hood, others go for an exhaust mod and new springs to lower the ride. But, that's not good enough for Kevin (aka Blind). Since Kevin rips up the the Auto-X track as frequently as he can with his 1997 Mustang GT, he was looking the next step. He already has suspension mods and a Cobra motor swap along with a few other goodies.
Recently, a deal came along that Kevin just couldn't pass up. Let's check-in with him to see what he is doing this time -

I have the pleasure of knowing Charlie and his family. Charlie was a member of our local 4H club for years while our kids were in. His mother is a very good friend of mine. Ithought you guys would like to read a bit about Charlie and maybe keep tabs on his career!

This GearHead installed some serious ponies in his '89 Mustang Coupe. Blind (aka Kevin) opted to go the turbo route with a fresh motor. Kevin is a true GearHead; all of his work is done in his own garage with his own tools (when I'm done borrowing them. lol)
I'll let Kevin tell the story.

As a kid, I was one of those that focused on going fast but, didn't spend too much time worrying about how to stop quick. My first car was a '66 Mustang 6cyl to V8 drive line conversion that put the car into the 12's at the drag strip. I was very lucky that I didn't need the brakes to perform! With today's cars, upgrading brake performance is pretty much standard practice for most GearHeads. Check this article by SVTRonDogg, who did a 4-corner upgrade and caliper paint. Nice job Ron!
Ron tells us what he did.

On Da Map! We had planned for 30+ cars, hoped for 50+ but, after going through the pictures taken and counting cars we couldn't find a pic of, we had approximately 100 cars and 1 motorcycle in attendance, not including the fire trucks!! 
Everyone Julie and I talked to said they enjoyed the friendly and sociable environment and said that they plan to bring more cars with them on February 28th, our next car meet at Johnny Rockets. We had a great time and couldn't have pulled it off without all of you!
Check this website for updates on the next Johnny Rockets Camarillo car meet on February 28th and other events. Here are some pics with more to come by this weekend

Hmmm, Suspension, That is the question, What exactly are you looking for, Do you want to really drive the car and make it handle around your favorite turns, and add big sway bars and heavy duty coil springs & shocks and lower it a bit? Or maybe you want to drive around town like a normal person would and just don’t need all of that custom stuff? Then maybe a stock su
