i have just gottin an 03 v6 mustang and i want to make some changes. . . what are the best mods that will get me the best bang for my buck in performance

 

o and im 16 so im on a budget

 

as u are 16 with a mustang im assuming someone bought u the car?
see if they can buy u mods as well! 8)
then its smooth sailing lol the basics for cheap (well under 200)each mind u..
would be new CAI
umm... well.. not much cheap now is there... gratz on the mustang! and welcome to another 6er! but as such u are starting at the bottom of the barrel lol

 

Define budget, what you can do/know about cars, and what you want out of your car performance or apearance wise

 

I wish I did this first, new gears and a tuner. It'll cost you anywhere from $500-$900 normally. If that's too high, I guess a CAI (although that isn't really that much performance gain).

 

if you are going for performance then hands down the first thing you should buy is a handheld tuner from american muscle. they write you a tune so you can adjust the computer of the car. it is a necessary piece of equipment that you will need for future mods. american muscle will write you new tunes for life if u piece the item through them.

if you want something a little more simple, then i recommend a new short throw shifter (if u have a manual tranny). if you know how to use a ratchet u can install it yourself. it makes driving a little more fun.

 

Moddin' is like sex.
Once you start, you will NOT be able to stop.
It's a drug that has no cure.

 

I'm confused. Is modding like sex, or is modding like drugs?

 

yeah, not to sure about that one lol

 

Sex is better than my car. I don't care how how many things I have done to it. I will always love sex more.

 

ditto to that..i love it haha

 

Look at the windstar intake if u can gather parts from junkyard and piece it together fab what u need should be cheap and I hear it actually makes a nice difference.

 

... oh gawd.
i get turned on before sex obviosuly which ends up leading to it.
but then again i also get turned on with a mild boner just thinking about moddin my car.
maybe its just me and i'm weeeeeeeeeeird and dirtyyyyy!
bbbwwwaaahahah

 

I would say get 4.10 gears first. It will make your six feel like a cobra. You have a 7.5 diff. I would also say get the posi with the gears. That will all run for about 1000. I would say that it is one of the most benificial things you can do to your six.
