Default Upgrade Ideas?!?!?

So im turning 16 really soon and im pullin in alot of money.I have a 95 bone stock v6.I got all the interior and exterior visual parts ordered they will be here next week,i spent 2500 on all of it and got alot more for performance parts.What i was wanting is some good ideas for the performance parts......thanks.....Also my car has been gettin egged lately and the mustang symbol was stolen,i went to my local junk yard and tired to find the symbol but couldnt...should i buy another one or the billet grill,and please explain to my dad that if u buy the billet grill that u can still open the hood..


BTW-Do u think it was a bad idea buyin this car and tryin to make it worthy instead of buyin a talon turbo....

THANKS AGAIN..MATT

you can try to find a brushes alluminum brill without a pony on it, and if your badges on the side keep getting jacked just take them off, fill in the holes with bondo, then go over with glazing putty sand paint wet sand and clear coat.

Why would a grill make your hood not open?
You pull the latch and it pops up, then you hit the level, EXACTLY the same as it would stock, aftermarket, or even if your grill was stolen!

what parts do you have ordered for it, as far as the visual? What are you looking to do for performance?

Ok "MATTJ" i wasnt wondering my dad was , thanks for your help..For visual i have almost everything u could want for it, but im having problems with andysautosport.com. I called them to see when all my things would get here and they said they had no record of everything being purchased. And on top of that my bank account is out 2500$ and i doubt ill get it back..So im screwed like holy hell...For performance parts i just want things that will add horsepower...

Well if your bank account is emptied, and they have no record, tell them you will enforce legal action to the fullest unless your money is refunded, or the parts are shipped.

If you give them an inch, they will take a mile and walk away with your money.

an 8.8 rear end wouldnt be a bad idea, instead of that one wheel wonder you have, and then some gears. Id say 3.73s with a v6.

saleen body kit from www.mrbodykit.com or www.cervinis.com
Throttle bodies on a V6 dont do anything unless your running with forced induction.

Order of importance: Exhaust (true dual or whatnot), CAI, 88 or 7.5 Tlok with 3.73 gears for both manual or auto, then get your chip to reprogram your computer for the gearing change.

not really I bought a 2000 GT and my insurance was damn near 400 amonth when I was 18, took it back and got my 2001 V6, which is now faster then a GT for not nearly the cost I was going to pay. V6 $20k GT 28K take that 8 grand and dum it into the V6 if you want, or give it to me, we need another dyno.

Bottle or blower, that will get you faster than a GT no problem.

Seriously there are tons of V6 parts here and most other mustangs places.

There is a whole website dedicated to V6 stang performance. I cant remember the name but I know some of the V6 guys here will know.

http://www.rpmoutlet.com/newv6m.htm
That website has a ton of good deals and all of the parts. Here's what you will want if you want a good V6: Cold Air Intake, dual exhaust w/ H pipe, u/d pulleys, 3.73 or 4.10 gears(4.10 if auto), a handheld tuner or chip. Later on, cams, port/polish. And at some point you may want to upgrade your fuel system with a better set of injectors, and an ignition box.

Hope that helps.

This is the V6 forums and it is inappropriate to start the argument V8s are better than V6s please keep to the subject. All posts not pertaining to the subject at hand have been deleted.
