Fabb's MK4 Coyote Build Thread
Having read thru many great build threads and taking much inspiration from you all, I figured I should share my plans now that I am moving into the order phase, and then I will use this thread to share my build as it progresses.
I want to get my order placed this week and would appreciate feedback from you all to make sure I fix any mistakes here.
My goal is to have a fun car I can enjoy and use and not just a garage queen. I do want to go to car shows for fun but I figure this wont be my last car built, so I want to learn and enjoy and use the car I finish here. I have a 14yo daughter and 11yo son that I want to enjoy the build with me as well.
So, my order plan is:
FFR Complete Kit w/IRS
Coyote motor & TKO600
My selections from FFR in the complete kit order
- Frame: Powder coating #12189, Body Cutouts #12070
- Motor:
a. Stainless Coyote Headers #16295
b. Coyote Power Steer #16137 - Suspension: 2015 IRS #15942
- Brakes: Wilwood upgrades #15370 front & #15988 rear
- Interior:
a. Competition Leather seats #13852
b. GPS Gauges #16004
Additional options from FFR to get now
- Motor: Coyote install kit parts #15432
- Chassis & Suspension:
a. IRS center section, spindles & hubs
b. Sway bars front & rear #16116, #15998 - Wheels:
a. 17" wheels #14865 <or>
b. 18" wheels #15812 - Exterior: Chrome Rollbar + Passenger #15101 & #15107
Additional options to decide on soon (don't think I have to resolve these before the main order)
- Stainless Bumpers #15330
- Wind wings #12049
- Sun Visors #12042
- Heater/defroster #14816
Open questions (in addition to general feedback)
- Side pipes - go with FFR or Gas-N?
- Coyote Power Steering Kit - seen wareaglescott complaints and sbhunter's thread suggests this is improved. Good to go or look elsewhere?
- Seats - Haven't finalized my pick yet (just deciding between the diff Kirkey options), is it worth resolving now and ordering from FFR or go to summit/etc?
- Koni Shocks - are the FFR upgrades here necessary/good or including equip is fine or look elsewhere? (links?)
- EFI Fuel System - do I need to get this part from FFR (#33862)
- Motor - order from Mike Forte? Others?
- Wheels - 17" or 18"?
- Discounts - I have read about the 50/50 deals in the past, any advice on either timing or deal opty's?
Thanks in advance!
