Not really. Ive spent maybe 1500 in performance stuff, tops. I would have changed wheels on a gt lol

400 for sct, 300 for headers, 200 on my custom catback. 100 for jlt oil seperator. 250 for springs.

Trust me, people ask all the time. Like it doesnt count as a mustang because its not a gt. Its fairly annoying. The biggestbreason is the price. I just couldnt swing that payment. I can barely afford the v6 payment.

you put all that on yourself ? I was thinking a couple of grand for headers & catback.

 

[fordguys550]

Ooo.....its just a v6....

 

[fordguys550]

I made the catback. Ive been working on cars since i was a kid. Aircraft mechanic by trade. I made this carbon fiber intake...

enthusiast !

Must of the stuff i do is on a budget. Single income, married, 3 kids, house payment....CA cost of living. This is what i could afford and honestly its faster and handles way better than my 05gt....and i get 32mpg

what to do next, wait 3-4 weeks for OEM flywheel, or aftermarket :shrug:

 

[fordguys550]

Too late for that....its all toen apart on their lift. Next time....and aparently there will be a next time....its getting spec stg1 clutch and alum flywheel

 

[fordguys550]

They have the flywheel...just not the damned bolts....bolts for crying out loud ......sigh

 

[paul123]

lots of you CA types moving to TX, driving up our housing prices as well. lol

the V6 / V8 thing is amusing. Ford could put a 500hp V6 in the Mustang, and people will still ask if its a GT.

 

[paul123]

the bolts backorder gives me pause. I am slightly less enthusiastic to mod my car, reading postings like this.

 

[fordguys550]

It doesnt sound like a v8, but i still love how it sounds. I like being differnt too. Not many people modding the v6. And when you beat a car with a v8...its satisfiying

 

[fordguys550]

Ok guys...aparently they found bolts, and finished it up today. Picked up the car free of damage, and the car runs/feels smoother than it ever did. Leaves me to believe the flywheel was already faulty when i bought the car. The clutch feels completely differnt. It seems to have a much shorter throw and is even lighter than before. So, even though the whole process could have gone a whole lot faster...im glad its over with and tge car is feeling excellent.
