New from BOSTON
I just bought my Mustang a few months back. 2003 GT...bought it used.
I just got out of school a year ago and have been working my *** off to buy a car. I absolutely love it, I just wish I had more time and money to work on it.
My goal with the car is to over the next 2 years work on it and get it to 400 rwhp with no nitrous and no blower...ive heard too many horror stories about both haha...plus I want to do as much of the additions to the car as I can myself.
I know 400hp isnt crazy sounding to most of you, but I'm not looking to be the fastest car on the road or the most powerfull on the strip. I just want to have fun working on my baby.
It should be interesting though, because everything that I know about cars was taught to me by my father as I watched him/worked with him on his '57 Corvette and his array of old trucks. Everything I know is based on cars with carbeurators and here I am learning the whole EFI-game haha.
I've already done a few things to it, but I plan to do many more, and will probably be putting more money into the car than what its worth, but you're only young once, and if theres ever the right time to be irresponsible with money and blow it on a sports car....its now hahaha
Anyways, Hi...I'm Ted...and I cant wait to soup my baby up...
