'03 Mach1 (Project: Equilibrium)
Well, I finally got around to installing the Honeycomb Trunk Panels on my car before the Angeles Crest Cruise with Sean's help (thanks). I love it! It was super easy and really adds to my rear I think.
Stock. Honeycomb Trunk Accent Installed. Step-by-step. |

I like the clean look. No badges, no useless plastic. Just black out the tail lights. Keep it clean I'll get you some chrome stripping to put on all the seams if you want. Maybe some vent stickers and a fake car phone antenna. Just my opinion

I will be asking Adam to help with "tinting" the lights darker to continue the look of the honeycomb panel.

Mach1 gets a Cobra Bumper
Been waiting the last week to get Yazmine back. I love the new bumper and the body shop did a great job on the paint! Totally different attitude with the car now. Still need to get the chin spoiler and gonna put a black panel behind the lower opening.
|
Needs a heat exchanger up front :)
It looks great though! |
Or a Procharger intercooler. It's a good excuse to buy a blower. I'd use it. "Honey, I had to buy the blower because the car just didn't look right without an intercooler behind the new bumper."
|
I will try that but I think I am about 7 months away from that.
|
Is that a cobra bumper or an aftermarket? (im not good with American cars lol)
Looks great though! Now lets just keep you away from Harleys lol |

The Harley kind of helped this project along so in a way I owe him one. The bumper is a stock 03/04 Cobra bumper. |
Time to do a eaton swap, thats cheap, 1k or less depending :) I'll even help.
|
Looks good buddy get the SC and kick Sean's ass!
|
Turbo or nothing!!!! :pot_stir:
Do you really want your car to whine at you? Nobody likes whiners!!! Just imagine the sound of 15 psi spooling up then the wastegate poppin' off and just fluttering away... awww pure sex.... |

But honestly, turbo spooling and centrifugal blower spinning sound the same at WOT. Only the roots blowers sound different. And the centrifugals have that constant gear whine at idle which is a dead give away of too much horsepower.

Did you re-drill the mounting holes for the bumper? The hood was hitting the corner on mine until I moved it back.
|
Why not a Mach1 chin instead of the black cobra chin? I ran it for a while on the 03, looked nice :)
Oh, and looking real nice there, love that shaker hood with the cobra bumper:thumbs_up::thumbs_up: |

AC Issue
So I fired up the Mach leaving work the other day and I heard a Metallic rattling. I popped the hood trying to find the source. Could not see anything but was sure it was coming from around the AC Compressor. Drove it home and let it cool and played with it some more and noticed that a plate in front of the pulley was what was rattling. I was talking to a co-worker and he said it was the clutch for the AC. I found that missing were the black fittings around 3 pins that are part of the clutch assembly (circled in Magenta) you can see what they should have looked like on the F-150 image.. Anyone had this issue? I am going to google it now but thought I would ask on here.

Google is amazing. The AC Clutch is shot. Ron you got some spare time you want to waist with me again? Maybe Guy would like to take this AC challenge on?
