I bought one a month ago, I’ve slid it a few times on “accident” already! Super fun cars. I used to have a Lexus IS250, it was a fun car but it had no potential and it was automatic with an open differential. The 3v feels very powerful to me coming from that Lexus, and the manual gives me so much more control than I had over the Lexus. I’ve got an exhaust on the Mustang already and tint. Stoked to get it to the point I want it to be, considering making a few videos on it as well.
That's awesome man, glad to hear you're loving it so far! I know what you mean, I came from an ae86 so this thing feels crazy powerful compared to that! They're super fun. I have some videos out now taking this one to the track if you're interested, it's an animal. What are the plans for yours?
@@LooseFab I’ve watched your videos in order since you picked up the car.

Hey thanks for watching. I had no idea the pin would turn into such a headache! The car is pretty low mileage so I didn't do the bearings/seals, do you think I still should've?
@LooseFab they are cheap enough and easy when you have the diff opened up anyways. But as long as there isn't any excessive play or leaking at the wheel end you should be ok.
@@GrandOnevia hahah no kidding! I was so ready to be done with that rear diff, I was sick of looking at it! I was at my wits end by the time that job was finished and I thought it would just take a few hours lol!

@@whuttontarnation2484 super cool! Always nice when you can get into a car that's already had some work done to it! Do you have any future plans for the car? Any idea what make the suspension is?
@@LooseFab I’m not sure the make of the suspension but I can try to take a look. All I know is it was on the brother of the PO’s car and then when that car got wrecked they swapped it. It handles pretty good too, or at least a lot better than my F150 😂. Right now the plan is to clean it up. Replace the back bumper, he passenger side mounts for it, maybe replace the front bumper, put some new tires (maybe wheels it just depends) on it. I’m getting married soon and am trying to have the car looking sharp for that. Beyond that I’d kind of like to put a cage in it for extra rollover protection and so I can do some events if I ever want to, some hot rod cams or something similar, and maybe a super charger of some type down the line.

Oh man, I have been getting water in the cab and I have been losing my mind trying to figure out how it's been getting in! Thank you so much for this tip, gonna go check that right now!
I had definitely been considering it! I have a buddy with a new edge and he upgraded to 4.10s and finds that they are a bit too short for the tracks we drive.. Do you think 3.73s would be a good compromise?
@@mustang91 I should've done that while I had it apart lol! I have some friends sith sn95 that I drift with, they went to 4.10 and found them to be just a little too short.

I do think I have longer transmissions gears so maybe it wouldn't be so bad for me, but I'm hoping the 3.55s are enough to get down for now! Thanks for watching
@@LooseFabi need a new tranny since when I bought mine from auction didn’t have one (it was under mechanical damage) I’m tryna go to 300HP at least and make it just really good looking. Im watching your series rn. Really want to make vids like u. Ims start recording it soon
@@seedeebun haha the poor 110 MIG was tapped out! I have a 220 tig but didn't think I'd be able to get a good weld with the tig welder lol. More amps definitely would've helped!
Wonder if cutting on the diff, to get that pin out affected the integrity of it at all? Hopefully that rearend doesn't grenade on ya at launch on your first pass, lol
I was honestly quite worried about that exact thing happening lol! Especially because I was an idiot and cut the wrong side to start with. But I can confirm the diff holds up great, I have really beat on it already! (track vid is up on Sunday btw)
@LooseFab exactly right, an 06 GT. I have over 10k in parts sitting around for a restomod. I have toddlers, so it'll be an extremely slow build whenever I can get to it, haha
@LooseFab it's dark blue. Someday I'll repaint it red though. Phase 1 is replacing/upgrading all parts involved with suspension, drivetrain, brakes, wheels, bracing, and underbelly repaint/refinish. All major parts are just waiting for me in boxes, I HOPE I can begin this summer. Needless to say, I'm crazy to even consider the amount of labor involved (I have past experience in such a project though).
Doing a build this quick was a first for me. I actually had to sell a different project (my ae86) which was a sad day, but it allowed me to ball out on a lot of parts all at once. I'd make a list of all the parts you want for your car, and maybe break it up into 'phases'. might be easier to decide what to buy and when!
@@erron2504 exactly! Clutch packs in an LSD can wear out, and in drift they are unpredictable. If you slow down mid drift quite often they will unlock and behave like an open diff would. The right way would be to run a full spool in this car but I didn't want to have to mess with the gear backlash, so I just went the welding route. Good question and thanks for watching!
Good questions, I should have mentioned that in the video. Car has 110,000km (60,000 miles). Seller was asking 10k and I managed to talk him down to 8k ($5,800 USD). Definitely not a pristine example but I wasn't looking for a perfect one. Thanks for watching
Good question! Limited slip diffs are really unpredictable when drifting. They usually lock up properly when you initiate a drift, but if you change your speed at all mid drift they tend to unlock and act like an open diff, causing you to straighten. This makes it predictable and stay locked 100% of the time. Thanks for watching!
I love my 3v but even with a tune, cams, cold air intake, long tubes, and straight pipe, you will still be under 350whp lol coming from a guy with a 600whp 3v

@@dakotajones8010 thanks dude! I coming from a 4 cylinder drift car so even a 3v is like triple the horsepower lol. Gonna be a bit of a learning curve when I take it to the track!
@@dakotajones8010 I am building a no prep drag car on my channel as well. Can't get behind street racing as that's why they keep cracking down on enthusiasts! Where I live they've been pulling plates left and right on modified cars lately!
these make what 265 wheel your not going to touch 350 wheel with out a cam long tubes and a tune u might break 320 with that that other shit that u have for it will do nothing to add power lmao
Issei383 is right 😅. Won't see 350whp. But the chassis is pretty light for the physical size, under 3500 lbs. 320whp is doable and easy. It's when trying to reach the 400whp range that it falls flat. We have various builds on youtube explaining this and more. Don't be discouraged. We are talking about great power for a drift daily.
I'm glad someone else addressed it. While these cars make super fun power they however will never make anywhere near 350 with factory drive train and factory tune, I have one with full system exhaust from pypes with FPR Intake and howards rattler cams. I'd be lucky if I was making 315 lol great build however will be subbing to watch more bro 🫡

@@LooseFabi need a new tranny since when I bought mine from auction didn’t have one (it was under mechanical damage) I’m tryna go to 300HP at least and make it just really good looking. Im watching your series rn. Really want to make vids like u. Ims start recording it soon
Welder is begging for more amps haha turn it up a little!
@@seedeebun haha the poor 110 MIG was tapped out! I have a 220 tig but didn't think I'd be able to get a good weld with the tig welder lol. More amps definitely would've helped!
if that car ends up making over 350 you have to take out the brake caliper covers
@@N8RZ smart, it's like putting a softer tuneup in it lol
Yes
Friend what kind of wheels are those?! They Look Wicked!
@@MRJPP2U thanks dude! I can't wait to see how they look on the car with the new suspension! They're vors tr4 wheels, 18x9.5 +22
Wonder if cutting on the diff, to get that pin out affected the integrity of it at all?
Hopefully that rearend doesn't grenade on ya at launch on your first pass, lol
I was honestly quite worried about that exact thing happening lol! Especially because I was an idiot and cut the wrong side to start with. But I can confirm the diff holds up great, I have really beat on it already! (track vid is up on Sunday btw)
@@LooseFab Hell yeah!

I own a 07 Mustang convertible 4.0 v6 myself, that I plan to drop a v8 in if the v6 ever dies.
@@cwbintn8949 thanks man! I'm very impressed with how much power those v6 actually make. Would you drop in a 3v or something else?
@@LooseFab In a perfect world, I'd love to drop a Coyote in it, but i'd settle for a 3v or even an old 289 and go old-school.
@@cwbintn8949 I might be biased but it's hard to beat that 3v sound! They're definitely way more affordable than a coyote too lol
The radio thing is normal factory for those cars. Just turn the radio off
The issue is that it turns back on with am radio at full blast every time you start the car lol
@@LooseFab yeah my uncles had that issue. I think it’s only on the upgraded “gps” units ☠️😂
tryna find a 5th gen mustang, but in my area it's pretty hard
You in America? I'm up in Canada and they're really abundant up here! Thanks for watching!
A 3v rebuild? ..subscribed!
@@javS197 heck yeah thanks dude! Judging by your name I'm guessing you've got one too?
@LooseFab exactly right, an 06 GT. I have over 10k in parts sitting around for a restomod. I have toddlers, so it'll be an extremely slow build whenever I can get to it, haha
@@javS197 haha basically the same car then! What colour is yours? And what sort of parts have you got stockpiled?
@LooseFab it's dark blue. Someday I'll repaint it red though. Phase 1 is replacing/upgrading all parts involved with suspension, drivetrain, brakes, wheels, bracing, and underbelly repaint/refinish. All major parts are just waiting for me in boxes, I HOPE I can begin this summer. Needless to say, I'm crazy to even consider the amount of labor involved (I have past experience in such a project though).
@@javS197 sounds like it will be a hoot when it's done! What sort of projects have you had in the past?
🎉🎉
@@santanaduran9702 🥳🥳🥳
Man what do u to afford all the stuff? Wanna start building my car to but don’t know where to start
Doing a build this quick was a first for me. I actually had to sell a different project (my ae86) which was a sad day, but it allowed me to ball out on a lot of parts all at once. I'd make a list of all the parts you want for your car, and maybe break it up into 'phases'. might be easier to decide what to buy and when!
Yessir🎉
Can't wait to see how it handles out on the track!
Why not put a set of 35 spline axles in it and a spool in it ?
@@andrewslagle1974 I wanted to but I didn't want to mess with setting gear backlash. Plus this was free!
The plates cover on ur red mustang…where can I buy that?
Send me a dm on Instagram and I'll just send them to ya
I’m confused a little, why are you welding the diff on a live-axle lsd car? Well it be better drifting wise?
@@erron2504 exactly! Clutch packs in an LSD can wear out, and in drift they are unpredictable. If you slow down mid drift quite often they will unlock and behave like an open diff would. The right way would be to run a full spool in this car but I didn't want to have to mess with the gear backlash, so I just went the welding route. Good question and thanks for watching!
@@LooseFab thanks for the information man I appreciate it.
@@erron2504 no problem man!
How much did you end up paying for the car? Miles etc..?
Good questions, I should have mentioned that in the video. Car has 110,000km (60,000 miles). Seller was asking 10k and I managed to talk him down to 8k ($5,800 USD). Definitely not a pristine example but I wasn't looking for a perfect one. Thanks for watching
🔥🔥🔥🔥
@@gordonthejoker thanks dude! Can't wait to see how it handles when it's all done!
Why weld the diff when all gt mustang come with a limited slip diff?
Good question! Limited slip diffs are really unpredictable when drifting. They usually lock up properly when you initiate a drift, but if you change your speed at all mid drift they tend to unlock and act like an open diff, causing you to straighten. This makes it predictable and stay locked 100% of the time. Thanks for watching!
Quick question how do you buy Nrg bucket seats or there’s specific website ?
@@Ca3ul I got them from a Canadian distributor called garage16, you can get them from drift hq in the US! Thanks for watching
do u plan on ripping out the interior? i may want to buy it 😭😭
The interior is almost done and that episode will be posted in just a few days!
What was the width on the rear new wheels ?
I go into more detail in the suspension episode of the build, but they are 18x9.5 +22
I love my 3v but even with a tune, cams, cold air intake, long tubes, and straight pipe, you will still be under 350whp lol coming from a guy with a 600whp 3v
Dang what all have you got done to make that sort of power at the wheels? 👀 I bet that things rowdy
@@LooseFab built engine with turbo, cams fuel upgrades etc
You selling those black and chrome rims?
They just sold, I had them listed for ages for pretty cheap and barely got any interest!
@@LooseFab damn! Oh well haha

What’s the specs on the wheels
I have a video talking about them as well as the whole suspension setup on the car if you haven't seen it! The new wheels are 18x9.5 +22 and they fit perfect Imo. Thanks for watching
But they already go sideways
@@TheSKGamerLetsGo 😔 hopefully I can keep it out of the crowds
@@LooseFabawesome mustang I have a 05 gt with Longtubes headers X-pipe going into some mid-mounted SLP loudmouths sounds pretty good
@@ThatLoud3v oh sick I bet that sounds rowdy! Is it too loud or you happy with the sound? I was debating doing some muffler deletes with stainless tips on this one
@@LooseFab oh it's loud and rowdy lol it gets attention every where I go lol but it's not my daily tho that's the good thing 😂 but im happy with it 👍🏼
@@ThatLoud3v sick! Any future plans with it?
You have white cream inside the car 😱
Classic case of cream in da car😓
Man the old wheels looked better white wheels are just so ugly
I did really like the old wheels, but unfortunately with some of the parts I have coming they just wouldnt fit. Thanks for watching!
Agreed 100%
Why a drift car 😊😊
Because drifting is a ton of fun! Why not!
you said perfect but its got a 3v engine
@@dakotajones8010 I'm gonna tell myself that beauty is in the eye of the beholder😭😭
@LooseFab they look and sound good but it's no 5.0, looks great tho
@@dakotajones8010 thanks dude! I coming from a 4 cylinder drift car so even a 3v is like triple the horsepower lol. Gonna be a bit of a learning curve when I take it to the track!
@@LooseFab why is it always drifting, its never street racing anymore
@@dakotajones8010 I am building a no prep drag car on my channel as well. Can't get behind street racing as that's why they keep cracking down on enthusiasts! Where I live they've been pulling plates left and right on modified cars lately!
Can I get a shout out
@@AlexSpear-c2j shout out to Alex Spear
Huh
Part none of -3?????
😂😂😂😂😂😂
@@melvinthemechanic I'm not sure what you mean??
these make what 265 wheel your not going to touch 350 wheel with out a cam long tubes and a tune u might break 320 with that that other shit that u have for it will do nothing to add power lmao
@@issei383 no I think it will probably make 1 million horsepower
Issei383 is right 😅. Won't see 350whp. But the chassis is pretty light for the physical size, under 3500 lbs. 320whp is doable and easy. It's when trying to reach the 400whp range that it falls flat. We have various builds on youtube explaining this and more. Don't be discouraged. We are talking about great power for a drift daily.
I'm glad someone else addressed it. While these cars make super fun power they however will never make anywhere near 350 with factory drive train and factory tune, I have one with full system exhaust from pypes with FPR Intake and howards rattler cams. I'd be lucky if I was making 315 lol great build however will be subbing to watch more bro 🫡
