Just wanted to introduce myself, my name is Jason, and I'm new to newer cars and mustangs for sure. I've been into air cooled Vw's for the past 20 years, daily driving them and all. I recently just got burnt out and picked up a pretty clean '99 GT with some decent upgrades like Cobra brakes, Borla cat back exhaust, intake, lowered a little, chrome 18" Bullitt wheels, and a few other little upgrades. I'm a mechanic and have been for about 20 years as well, but mustangs are new to me so go easy on me, lol. Time to hit the forums and it's s few questions and hopefully I meet some cool people too!

My plans so far are to fix the few little things it needs. I need to fix the speedometer issue, figure out the clutch adjustment, replace an a arm, and tune it up. It's pretty clean for the age, I'm stoked to have it!

I have aftermarket struts and and springs in the rear too and I have some front suspension clunks I need to fix after I find the problem. The noise sounds like it's in the driver side, but I also noticed the passenger a arm is bent, should I buy another factory one, or is there aftermarket ones I should look at?

It also has Accel coils, 75mm Professional Products throttle body, and a BBK intake. ��
