i put my car in the shop to get the engine, fuel system looked at, and a rear end gear install. hopefully it is just an issue of replacing main bearings. that, and i am leaking fuel SOMEWHERE...no dripping...you just smell fuel as you get done driving it.

 

gears installed....my mustang goes faster. the guy couldn't find the fuel problem, and he has to pull the engine...so that gives me an excuse to buy new internals and redo the heads/intake/cam.


do i need to reflash my chip when i put in the 3:73 gears or no? (i put in the correct speedo gear)

 

buy a newer mustang

 

Since you changed the speedo gear you do NOT need to reflash the ecu for the gear swap, just keep it listed as stock gears in the tune as the speedo gear has fixed it for your year car. Glad to see you like the gears alot, is yours auto or stick? Also why does the motor have to come out?

 

auto, and that is what my mechanic said...he tried pulling the oil pan off, and said he has to pull it to get it off. i need to talk with him more about it in the future, cause i gotta replace those bearings.



(and i aint buying a newer mustang. i am happy with the one i got.)

 

SN95 body style rocks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

lol im sorry man, they really dont.

 

yea they do, u could trade me and u would fall in love with them

 

Technically speaking, your car is SN95, platform wise, but it's "New Edge" in style.

 

???? both sand and leonide have sn95's, they dont look new edge to me

 

they look nothing like INTz and I's car, they have same frame but who cares. none of the same body panels.

 

the frame name SN95 on all 94-04 mustang all 05+ mustangs are S197.

the body style is a little different the 99-04 cars had the new edge style body.

the frame makes the car........

 

the 94-98 were a lot heavier than the 99-04? is that why some people call them snails or is it just the rounded shape? i prefer the stock body of the 94-98 over stock body of 99-04. although i have seen some very nice looking 99-04 body styles that have had add-ons and extra body parts(scoops and other stuff) that look hella beefy and i get excited.

 

no, its just they were lacking in power. in 99 the engine got a make over with PI uppers and lowers, i believe i might be wrong but i think that was one of the things.

 

99 started the PI heads and cams. 94-98 can be pulled off very nicely if done right. I think stock for stock a 99-04 looks better. I'm assuming the 94-98 are roughly around the same weight as 99-04.

 

Stock 99-04 definitely look better. The 94-98 bodies are too smooth, curve wise. The sharp lines of the 99-04 look much better.

 

only flaw of 99-04 is how much the front bumper sticks out past headlights, it looks ok if your looking straight at it, but if not, its ugly

 

*watches as this thread gets off track real quick*

 

i was wondering the same thing. maybe talk to another mechanic...
