Greetings from Sweden
Hey everyone,
Thought I'd introduce myself. The name's Jimmy and I just bought a -95 GT convertible with 63k miles on the odometer. It's white with beige interior and top and was imported to Sweden two years ago from your great country. The car was a florida resident and the previous owner had it for 11,5 years. The car is stock but has some nice cobra options such as 17" rims, white gauges. Since the car is stock I get to develope the car into what I want which is great even though it will cost more than if the car already had been modified. But hey, money was made for spending right?
I'm going to start off in the handling department. New shocks and struts are going to be swapped during the winter season. If you guys have any suggestions on what to get, please PM me or respond here. I'm only going to use the car on som inspired back road driving so nothing to hardcore. 1k budget.
Next I'd thought I'd bump the timing to 15 degrees. We are fortunate to have 95, 98 and 100 octane in Sweden so I'm hoping to get maybe 5 or 6 hp from that. Also, a K&N drop-in filter will be fitted. That's what I can think of right now. If you have any cheap power mods to recommend I'm all ears
Oh, and by the way. If someone would give me some links to sites that sell mustang parts and mods, I'd be grateful.
