Happy New Year!!

It's the first of the year and I've been busy getting my internet business off the ground. It's been pretty intense since this past summer when a few things seemed to click in my favor. My custom parts are selling well with more customer coming in the future according to members wish lists in the forums I follow and/or sponsor. I'm trying to expand my catalog by finding more niche market cars to produce parts for.

I hope you all have a happy and healthy and most of all productive 2010!! Work hard for what you have, never take from others and think for yourself don't let anybody influence you.

I'm still excited!

Well 14 sets of the Marauder control arms were sold in 1 week of the initial sale, I'm still receiving orders for those and a few other parts. Everything is going great right now and I'm still waiting for the fabricator to finish another part for those cars that I expect to sell even better then the control arms. If things keep going this great I should be able to buy the first sets of my own branded control arms for Mustangs and advertise with the profits from these parts. I'll keep you all posted.

Success continues!!!

I've put my own branded parts on the back burner for now and here's why. The fabricator was intrigued about making specialty parts for the Mercury Marauder. The Marauder is a Grand Marquis with all the "grand pa" removed, the chrome is removed and replaced with color matched grille and molding, the anemic 4.6L 2 valve motor is replaced with a 300hp 4 valve, the suspension has been fine tuned for performance among others. I collaborated with the fabricator to make a set of performance control arms for the car enabling harder launches and better high speed stability. The arms are made of high strength rectangular tube steal and fitted with polyurethane bushings with the same Delrin sleeve as in the Mustang arms for quiet grease less operation. They have been available for sale since Monday and already have sold almost a dozen sets. I'm currently running a special discount for MercuryMarauder.net members running until Wednesday the 2nd of September.

My own performance parts 2.0!

A few weeks ago I posted while I was buying parts one of my vendors offered me a chance to market my own branded parts. I will be purchasing his rear lower control arms for the 2005 to present Mustangs and selling them under my label of SpartaPerformance. His parts are premium quality and I'm getting them at such a discount that I can be priced below the major competition allowing me to make some sales under a price point. I hope that I can take advantage of this opportunity and expand my company. It doesn't stop there, we will also collaborate to make parts for the neglected Mercury Marauder and late model Crown Victoria. There is a fair amount of enthusiasm for these cars that has been ignored by many major manufacturers thus leaving me a doorway to an untapped market. I'm crossing my fingers.

My own performance parts 1.0

I received the specifications for the manufactured parts in an email yesterday, right now I'm trying to see what the best way to get them out there would be. I think I may make a few "Group Buy" posts in some of the Mustang forums I go to. Let's see what happens. I hope this works I will list the control arms for $159.99 plus shipping and offer a $30 discount for forum members.

These are them, tubular in design with a performance durometer bushing for stability. The unique bushing is designed for whisper quiet use and needless of grease fittings.

New parts!

I just received an offer to have Mustang rear control arms produced and marketed under my website business. It would a great beginning to start something bigger then just peddling other peoples parts. At this time I'm waiting for the final specs so I can set an appropriate cost and begin marketing. Lets see what happens

New Web Site

I just made a new website to showcase performance cars for American muscle cars. The Site name is Spartaperformance.com, it currently has performance parts for 1979 present Ford Mustang, I will be updating it with Challenger and Camaro parts in the next few days.
I also added CHE to the line up of performance suspension and chassis parts available for Mustangs. I really believe these are excellent parts, high quality in manufacturing and durability. I've installed various parts from their catalog on many of my customers cars including my own.
Since my last post about my Mustang I mentioned I've added some performance modifications I forgot about the suspension, I've lowered it using the FRPP 1.5" Handling Pack added CHE Chassis Bracing such as the K-Member with torque limiters and billet aluminum lower control arms by RPI.

Here she is!!
