Default The modding bug has bit me yet again.

Like the title states Im in the mood to to mod the stang some more. I was kinda leaning towards some longtubes and or a Tuner. I still need to lower it but that wont happen till I graduate. Did not want to get a gears and a T lock because I was planning on getting an 8.8 or 9 down the road. Im pretty sure im done with apperance mods. Do you guys have any other suggestions? I really dont want to be putting a whole bunch of money into it. Long tubes really sound tempting just not sure how much it would cost to re fab my exhaust.

Car looks great! What do want to do to the car in the long term? Will you keep the car or is this something that you will trade in later? Are you looking for power or handling?

Save your money right now and maybe think about a V8 swap. A lot of nice crate motors out there now.

Long term plans is to deffiantly keep the car. Not point in trading it in and getting another one when the one I have still has lows miles and nothing is wrong with it. Im looking for more handling but still some power. A v8 swap is deffaintly in the works, but there is no way I can afford it at the moment.

Idk. My way of viewing it is that if you're going to swap a V8 eventually than adding parts that won't fit the V8 is a waste. It just adds one more thing that down the road will make you say, "Well is it worth it to swap?"

My opinion I'd look into the 8.8 rear-end as it's something cheap, but not useless after the swap.

Or look into a brake upgrade, or panhard bar and sway bars. Just make sure you get best bang for your buck, and long term best.

It's your car. You know what she needs.
