Default Just hit 10,000 miles..

I bought the car in October of 06.

so far I have "only"

tinted the windows
CAI and tune (bama and brenspeed)
front and rear blackouts
yellow fog light bulbs
pony plug for aux outlet in dash
shorty antennae
smoked corner lenses
"mustang" emblem on passenger side dash
3.73 and t-lok
steeda sport springs
Fang chin spoiler (soon to be delivered)


Now I just need:

new dampers
lca + uca
aluminum drive-shaft

and... and XCharger and bigger meats in the rear!

It's been fun.. damn this site for making me spend all of that money..

Nice Sandman!

I'm guessing you haven't had a single problem with your Stang?

I had a little vibration at 80 mph from what sounded like the tranny.. tuned out that there was a tsb out for the noise.. and it was the result of my exhaust vibrating against the transmission cross-member. All I had to do was get underneath the car and remove the hangers as specified in the tsb (they are just there for manufacturing purposes).

All in all.. absolutely no "real" problems.. and I don't take it easy on this car either. I don't beat on it.. but i bought it to have fun.. and that's what I do.

Yiiiiiiiiikes lol, Sandman brings up a good point about this site making us spend a lot of money. Although it's not making us, we have the final decision...or do we? I think our cars just possess us after a while. I just hope my car doesn't convince me to leave her in my will

The C&L MAF housing and cone filter will be useless if you go with th X-charger. Get the X-charger with the tuner and save yourself 300 bucks.........The X charger kit replaces the C&L intake.
