    Finally a member of the Mustang family!!!

    It has taken me nearly 15 years, but I finally bought my first mustang today. It is a 2003 V6, Black with the GT hood scoop, running horses logo on the doors, 5 speed transmission, and best of all to me, dual exhaust. Man, it sounds really good and throaty when driving or revving. I am so...

    aftermarket parts

    "How much did this kit cost you? And did you have to make any modifications to make it fit?" First off, this is for an 88, so I did not have the MAF to worry about. The kit was no more than $30 and it fit pretty much right on. I don't have a pic, sorry. I used one of the rubber sleeves...

    I would love to swap in a complete turbo engine, but i have been unable to find one around here. I am in central texas with limited junk yards to check for, plus there are so many good ole' boys that have mustangs everywhere. I don't have the money for the ones on ebay. Thanks for all the...

    Engine rebuild kit?

    Thanks james, do you know where i could look for forged pistons? What about a wiring harness, would that need to be changed too. Your help has been good. I wasn't really thinking of doing a turbo that way, but I am seeing that it is possible. What are the rods that were referenced? My...

    Engine rebuild kit?

    i hate to ask this question because I know that everyone wants the speed, but right now i neither have the money or the know-how to drop in a turbo or 5.0. My question is does anyone know where i can find a rebuild kit for an 88 2.3 n/a. Is there even a kit? Does anyone know what I will...

    CAI question

    Thanks for all the input. I have another question, but it doesn't relate to the CAI. I am wanting to take the awesome luggage rack of the trunk of my car, but it is held on by rivets. Does anyone know how to do this? I should just post a new thread, but i will wait for responses first.

    Good news, bad news

    Thanks, If I found a turbo in a junkyard, is there anything i should look for to sway my decision? What would be a good price to pay for either turbo or n/a at a junkyard? i don't want to get ripped. my friend said he would go with me, so that would probably help.

    Good news, bad news

    Good News! Well, I finally made my first mod to my car the other day by adding a CAI. It was really fun getting to put it on. I am not too mechanically inclined, and although this didn't take too much effort, it was still fun. I took it for a spin and I could immediately tell a different in...

    A/C questions

    Actually, I should have mentioned this in my first post, but there is actually no belt on the a/c, but I can turn it with my hand. Someone mentioned that if i could do that, it wasn't bad. I am not sure why they told me that it was broke, they probably didn't even check it since the belt was...
