hey everyone i just got my first mustang and was wondering some ideals for some first mods on it and im getting CAI underdrive pulleys and i was woundrering what are some other good beginner mods

 

I would skip the CAI. The stock piece is not restrictive.

You should consider your ultimate goals for the car and go from there.

Unless you plan on simply having a 260rwhp daily driver you should skip the bolt ons and save up for bigger things.

Some pretty simple things to start with are appearance things, such as wheels and so on, and comfort/drive-ability mods.

 

Well it depends on what you want because "begginer mods" usually mean lots of money invested for little hp gained.

 

Don't skip the CAI. It doesn't do much, but it does add a lot to the look of your underhood. Just get the cheapo one from AM, that's what I did. It really cleaned up my engine bay.

I'd recommend upgrading your lower control arms, I havn't done it myself yet but it's usually the first recommendation you hear from Mustang owners. I'd also invest in some springs, shocks/struts and new wheels. Cheap bolt ons won't get much out of the stock engine, and I've been told the underdrive pulleys are a waste of money too. I can't speak from experience though, this is just what I'm planning on doing.

 

TB/plenum combo, o/r x or h pipe, gears, tuner, get a cai if you feel like spending the money (or a K&N for the stock housing if you don't), lca's and subframe connectors. That stuff will give you a good start.

 

well i really want a balance car. My goal is to make it fast but aslo a daily driver as well and for looks im starting off with some halo headlights and chrome rims,

 

beginner mods arent bad if you just want a decent car to play around with and DD. Full exhaust with Longtubes, 3.73s or 4.10, CAI, a nice tune. Please dont put ricer Halo's on your car

 

Supercharger, Turbo...forget the bolt on bull****....

I've learned from my mistakes....

Don't forget the STICKERS...Gotta have them....

 

i would save up a little cash and get your rear end done, put some 3.73's in your rear and you'll have a lot more fun. you can get a shop to do it for about $500 including the parts
