First 'Stang
Hey gang,
I just picked up my first decent car since the Jeep I got when I turned 16...an '01 GT 5 speed.
I'll post some pics later tonight from my home computer.
I'm new to cars, new to mods, new to Mustangs, so I'm pretty in the dark. I figure this'll be a good spot to learn.
I bought the car used with 75k miles. It has a Borla exhaust (I don't know specifics-any idea on how to find out?) and an AEM CAI (again, don't know specifics).
Thinking about saving up some money to get new gears first off...as a rookie, any advice for me to check to see if there's been any aftermarket work done on the gears?

Thanks for the welcome...
Haven't checked the gear ratio I'm running yet--I guess I could try to conceal my mechanical rookie status, but I'd rather admit it and try to correct it...I have no idea how I would go about seeing what I'm already running. Recommendations?
