In the modding world of Mustangs, there is no such thing as being satisfied with the modifications you have. Even if I had a Procharged and stroked motor, I would want something more or better. I am glad I have been through this stage before because now that my car is nearly stock, I am not going to skimp on anything. It is going to take a number of years, but my goals are in fair sight and I am going to do them right the first time.
I find my self falling asleep and awaking to the thought of the modifications I want to do to my car. There is just something about the lines and such on Mustangs that just makes me want more, always. I think I speak for others on here who have the same type of situations?
My chrome Mac long tube's along with Flowmaster 40 Series mufflers came today. Now I am waiting on the Mac off road h-pipe and o2 extensions to show up. As soon as I get the money for install, one very large bird is killed with one very expensive stone. Then time to start dreaming up my wheels/tires/suspension setup. Dammit I am in the wrong hobby!

I do not like the stock front seats !!can not set them back enough, and they have no neck protection.(looking for newer model seats or after market) rear suspension is soft, even after lowering springs. And it does not handle corners as well as I would like it to. It is better than what it was. I like the sound system and the Flowmasters.
Would a strut tower brace help in the handling?

Are we talking realistically or what? Cuz I would love a 4v swap and at least a T trim upgrade with all of the supporting mods... On a more realistic note... some minor suspension pieces (minor but expensive), and a few appearance things and I would be quiet for awhile.
Right now I'm more into fixing the little heres and theres to make the car more enjoyable to drive.

you can modify the seat tracks so that you can put the seat farther back.
what the hell do you mean by "neck protection?"
the soft suspension is your fault, there are plenty of companies out there that offer what youre looking for.
a strut tower brace would improve the handling by limiting strut tower flexing.

Heck no lol
I LOVE my car more than alot of people i know, but honestly it doesnt look all that great IMO. needs to be lowered. 17x9's up front, 01 cobra bumper, holes in decklid filled. and full bolt ons will do my power wise for now.

I have A completely different motor and tranny, all new front suspension and fuel system, ignition system, exhaust system, etc.... ALL of which I researched and picked out myself. And I want to change little and big things on ALL of them. Sometimes it seems stupid, but it keeps my busy (and broke for that matter).
