Default got some Q's

wut up ,well i just got a stang,I was going to get a ls1, but my chicks loves mustang's(chicks love stangs)and offered to pay half the payment,I have to admit I think the mustang looks way better then my old lt1 bird and is more comfortable to drive,but isnt as fast,but it will be soon

My 1st Q,shifting this car is horrible,is this common,the gears are far apart,and the shifer is very very stiff whats the deal???????????is there a good short throw shifer that will fix this,

My 2nd Q can I use regular gas in this ride,Im used to puting premium gas in my lt1

My 3rd Q whats a good cheap cold air intake............................................ .........

later dudes

You can use regular. Ebay has cheap CAIs. The one I had was same as BBKs, just without the expensive name on it.

1) MGW shortshifters are one of the best feeling ones I've been in, and this is from a newb manual driver
2) Regular is fine on the 2v's unless your tuned for premium
3) CAI's do jack on 2v's, if you wanna go with a cheap cai, just go get yourself a set of rubber sleeves and pvc piping and make your own. If you wanna get a nice CAI I would recommend a JLT setup.

Lastly, welcome to the mustang crowd, and do ya have any pics? Also, great girl you have there, to offer half of the car =P

MGW or steeda are good. I like the steeda so I bought it.
reglar gas is recommended but I personally have never put it into any of my cars even without a 93 octane tune.
I would get a steeda, bbk, or JLT intake. I bought the steeda but wished I got the JLT.

To be honest the front bumper MUST go. Get a stock one or a cobra bumper, some center caps for the right wheels, and maybe new side skirts. Other than that, your good to go!
