Thinking about getting rid of my car... talk me out of it
My car is giving me one problem after another. First problem I have ever had with it was the clutch going in January. It being the stock clutch with almost 100k I figured it would. Then the car had leaky valve seals. Took the heads off and had them recoditioned. Got car back and blow a spark plug. Get that fixed for a 1000 dollars. Now the damn thing idles at 1500-2000 and hangs around 3 grand sometimes. Really ****ty idle at start up, about 500rpms. My dad calls it a POS lemon and said I should have never bought a Mustang even though he owns a V6 vert. I'm tired of the headaches with this thing. I just want a fast car and this one has too much ****ing problems. Anyone have any advice on my new idle problems? Also I got 115 miles on a little over 3 quarters of a tank of gas.

look on the bright side at least you havent replaced two clutches with in a year, two intake manifolds that cracked, blown two engines, replaced the rack and pinon, ac compressor gone bad, overheating and rebuilt the diff.

I love Mustangs though, they are so sexy. I wish I could get a TA but I can't afford the insurence. It's a lot more then the GT for some reason. These mod motors are way too sensitive and respond like **** to mods. I'm thinking about getting a loan and getting a forged bottom end and just putting my heads on it. It would be a nice set up for FI and it would be a new motor.
