Default New Hobby......

Ok, so I bought my first Mustang back in 2006 before PCSing to Italy. Over time I have had several components added to the vehicle to enhance it's performance. I had tried ask9ing several people what to do first but never got a straight answer. Here is what I got done to the car and am open to suggestions for what to do next.


MODS: Fidanza 2.1 Clutch
Steeda Short Shifter
Under Drive Pulley's
3.73 Gears
SCT/F3 Tuner
K&N Cold Air Intake

I think you would be happy with suspension upgrades. subframe conectors for sure, some new springs (lowering) and shocks and struts. Then maybe a few other things to improve how it handles and puts power to the ground.

Or some exhaust, like mid pipe and catback to make it louder (and more muscle car sounding)

You're going to get 5000 different answers if you just ask what should I do next. You need to first decide what you want out of the car, like is it a track car, drag car, daily driver, weekend fun car, auto cross car, etc., etc. Next, you need to decide how much you want to spend on the car. Then go from there. I would advise you to do some suspension work, a full exhaust, and cams regardless of what your plans are though. Welcome to MF.com
