Ok gears/lsd/ driveshaft. whats lsd stand for. I was looking at an aluminum drive shaft today.The driving thing.Well I dont want to sound confident but I can drive very well. Good enough to pull off some stuff. When I first got it the first week I went crazy. Powersliding and stuff. Then I was doing it in the rain and ran off the road. Luckily it didnt mess anything up or get me stuck so knowoneknows, but I started driving like I know how. The smart way. Anyway i want to make this a nice car, But I need a job its kind of hard.I read everything I can about mustangs, engines and such to learn how to do stuff and what stuff is. I just dont know evrything yet thats why Im asking everything.Again what about a dyno am I ok without it. Theres not one near me I dont think. I have no access to one anyway.

Uhhhh, why would you need a role cage?


lsd = limited slip differential. Basically so 2 tires spin instead of one

okay well i think what you should do is take an automotive class in your high school and try and pick up a few things about it if you want to start being interested in modding your cars, you will learn a lot of stuff, and you will be more educated on what certain mods even do, besides just oh it makes the car faster

but anyway, what they said^^^

Yeah I plan on doing that. Im definetly a fast learner and if its some like this I learn even quicker for some reason.Ive done small engines and stuff before.I know what most of the basics are. Its the add on I still dont know. Like tubos and superchargers can you have them both?Or does one take the others place?

Here is a list of parts from what I was told I needed most anyway. Tell me if these are good enough or is there something better I need?

Steeda Cold Air Intake and SCT SF3 Custom Tuner Combo (05-09 V6) , Steeda Sport Mustang Lowering Springs (2005+) lowers one inch, Eibach Pro-Damper Shock & Struts (05-09)

OP, It sounds like you need to learn how to drive before you do any type of mod... You have had the car for less than a month and you already ran it into the ditch ****ing around??? Way to be mature about a brand new car that your father bought you. If I ever have a child, no matter how much money I have, I will make them work for a car and they would not be getting a new car. Obviously you are no where near mature enough to handle a nice car... Learn to handle the power and car first and then focus on mods...
