hey, i just registered today, havent bought anything here yet but there are alot of things i like, and really like lookin at the customer rides, im 16 and just got a 2001 black v6 mustang, so far ive put 17" black bullitt wheels w/ new tires and a dual exhaust w/ glasspacks (and no im not a little rich kid i bought the wheels and exhaust myself and paid alot on the car and insurance)

Welcome to the boards...post up some pics

*venom* · 08-17-2005, 08:31 PM

Welcome how about some vids of your exhaust.

cmsbluedevil · 08-17-2005, 09:14 PM

i'll try to get some pics up tommorow if i get the chance, doubt ill get any videos up but ill try, most likely just the pics though, love the website and all the cars ive seen on here so far though, by the way what do you think i should do next to my car, like i said i have wheels and exhaust, im pretty much equally concerned about performance and appearance, and i'd def. like some more torque and hp since i cant afford the insurance on a GT

oh, and my car is an automatic, is there anyway to change the transmition on a car? i know it probably costs a ****load but i have to keep this car for awhile anyway and i plan on puttin alot of mods on it so i wanna keep it, if not i dont care i doubt ill be racing too much atleast i just though i'd put in that its an automatic to help w/ mod ideas

*venom* · 08-17-2005, 09:30 PM

I would say work on suspension by getting some springs as the stock height is horrible.

cmsbluedevil · 08-17-2005, 09:48 PM

yea i was def. thinkin about that, ive seen plenty of lowered mustangs and i think they look alot better than stock, plus its about the best i can do right now since i wont be getting a bodykit for awhile, how do you think the c-springs that are on sale on here right now would work?

cmsbluedevil · 08-18-2005, 01:42 PM

anybody know about the transmission question? i dont know much about transmissions

*venom* · 08-18-2005, 02:39 PM

I moved your post to the v6 tech. The csprings are great my brother has them however I recommend replacing the shocks and struts.

tah94stang · 08-21-2005, 01:25 PM

Cold Air kit helps the performance and is fairly inexpensive. If you are looking to change out the springs, ebay has some good deals on springs with the shocks and struts. I purchased a kit for mine last year and paid 400.00 for the kit. They are Tokiko.

you can add a shift kit to it to make it shift faster and firmer. i like transgo but all the mustang guys seem to love the Jerry mod. do a google search fo rjerry mod and you will find it.

98GT · 08-21-2005, 07:21 PM

I would lower it next. I just lowered mine and I love it. It looks and handles so much better. Wish I had done it sooner. I would put shock and struts on at the same time also, it wouldn't cost anymore in laber cuz they have to take them off anyway. Also, be sure to get a camber/caster kit (I got mine here, they're about $140) You will also need a bump steer kit ($150 for the one I got but you can get them for alot less)and shortened sway bar end links.($20) If you don't get those things, it wouldn't handle as well and it will eat up your tires like crazy.

*Lances03SVT* · 08-21-2005, 08:08 PM

That all depends on how much you lower it.If you don't go lower than 1.5 you should'nt need all that other stuff.Did'nt add any extra stuff and mine handles perfect and no tire wear.If everything is still in good shape I would still change out the shocks and struts.The C spring drop is'nt a radical drop so it would'nt hurt adding some of the other things but why spend the extra money if you don't need too.

98GT · 08-21-2005, 08:37 PM

I only lowered mine 1.5, and I was told to be sure to put that stuff on. The guy I had do mine used to work for Steve Saleen and now owns his own shop that just works on mustangs so he seems to know what he is talking about. I've also seen alot of the cars that he built in magazines(5.0, MM&FF, ect) But it's really up to you, maybe you can get away with not doing it. I'd rather be save, but that's just me.

*Lances03SVT* · 08-21-2005, 08:55 PM

Yes alot of places will say you need them.
