I already spent $850 on a Dell yesterday instead of my car I just need my mustang to get me around for another year til I become an RN, then I could spend some money on the motor, etc. What suggestions do you have for me with around $1400? The mustang is my daily driver, car has around 180K, motor has 50K+ on stock rebuild,and I have no other car. I average around 250-280 in 2 weeks. Like to take it to the track maybe once a month.
My concerns....
1. I have an overheating problem with it rising to 230* in city with A/C on.Never did this until almost 3 months ago.
a. I already have a 180* stat, just need to put it on and see if that will solve the problem.IF NOT, deduct some money for possibly an electric fan and radiator? What about a Proform electric fan from JEG's or should I just get a Flex-a-lite fan?
2. Stock braking system is damn scary!!! Wheels lock up and then I need a new pair of briefs
a.Can an adjustable proportioning valve help to get by for now or would I be better off upgrading to rear disc brakes?(Remember, once I'm an RN, I'll spend some serious money in the braking department).
3. I have been itching for some suspension components off Latemodel Restoration Supply such as control arms and a panhard bar.
a. How about HPM mega-bite jr. LCA($227.94),mega-bite adjustable UCA($239.95), HPM subframes($69.95), HPM HD panhard rod kit($269.95-319.95).?
Suggestions and opinions are very welcomed. Thanks. Oh yeah, are there any lower prices than the ones I listed off for the suspension components? If so, where? Thank you.
