Lets try to wake things up in here!!!!!!!
 

OK...this site is really draggin @ss the last couple of days........so lets ask a question that I'm sure has been asked a MILLION times already.....

What was your favorite modification...no matter how petty, extreme, or expensive...what made you fall in love with your car all over again??????

This way we could all join in here and wake up!!!!! I'm at work, and nothing sucks more than to check the site at 30 minute intervals to keep my sanity and seeing NO NEW POSTINGS!!!!

OK...I'll start...The night I switched from Flowturds to MAC on my 92....oh baby did I have a smile from ear to ear!!!!!!

well my heads were a fun bolt on, no my suspension is my favorite, no maybe my new wheels, no my pro 5.0 shifter... ummm i can't decide!!!!!!

Going from 3.08 to 3.55 rear gears did it for me, as gears usually do.

I had my near-stock 'Stang for 8 years and was getting bored with the performance but couldn't afford any serious mods. Then I got a deal on the gears and once they were in, it was like I added 50 HP! Made the car fun to drive again, and I added a PRO 5.0 shifter at the same time, so it was even better.
I'm still near stock under the hood, but the street gears, shifter, sub-frame connectors and sticky tires make my aging 5.0 fun to drive, every day.

Now, get back to work!

hey 5.0, where are you from in CT???

My favorite all time bolt on was my licence plate! http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

Most people say that shoving bigger gears up their rear is fun, either that or getting blown. Hmmmm.....I may be ruining this site's family oriented nature! All I have on my car are suspension and 130amp alt. When I put the springs in, it rode SOOOO much nicer, and handled better, 'twas great! I also remember the new alt, it was great to be able to turn everything on and not drain the battery.

gears did it for me (4.10s) i can get real Jigge with it

I liked throwin in my roll bar, and i love my front coilovers!

I would have to say either my heads or my roll cage.

I am about to get new mufflers and I saw you picked the Mac’s. What did you like about them over the flowmasters and what flowmasters did you have?

I just switched over from stock single exhaust to 2 1/2" dual exhaust - 1 5/8" primary headers, 2 1/2 offroad h-pipe and Warlock mufflers. I just got done driving it about 100 miles and i had a smile from ear to ear. It's surprisingly quiet with a snarly tone...i can hear my radio easily on the freeway and the headers make more noise than the exhaust at cruise (tinnish noise). I can now go sideways in the middle of first gear and the powerband just grew as well as lowend torque (i thought i'd lose some, but i actually gained alot). This is my first major change, next is gears....man I LOVE MUSTANGS....I need to go driving again....

I'd have to say it was after I put the new cam in and got it dyno tuned. Or last week when I rebuilt the posi and now I can REALLY get it sideways. Or maybe before all this when I put the Cobra intake and 24# injectors on. But I'm SURE that after I finish remodeling the two bathrooms and I get to buy the new Paxton 1000 that will be it.

I would have to say the 3.73 gears and then the blower,which was installed afterwards http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

I'll have to say converting to Mass Air. I haven't had a single ping since, and it feels a lot faster up top.

The MAC's just added the perfect balls-to-the-wall kind of sound to my car

After doing the heads and the rest of the naturally aspirated bolt-ons in my sig, the car needed something more...

I had two-chambers on it, the ones that are on my coupe now...but the noise the 92 makes now, especially with the blower at 6 grand on the highway bouncing off the barrier or other cars (the sound, not the car!!! http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif)...it almost brings tears to your eyes it is so beautiful...I'm just pissed I didn't get the MAC's sooner...

I can't quite describe how it sounds. I want to say late sixties muscle kind of tinny sound mixed with a nascar, but that doesn't even do it justice...the fit was beautiful and the system is cheaper than the flowturds

I'm with ya Green92LX on the MAC stuff. It has been my favorite mod as well. II love the sound and the power I gained from the system was for the most part, unbelievable. It'll climb to 6 grand easy now and wants more. And the sounds will put a shiver down your spine http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

Actually and not trying to be a complete dork, but my K&N filter system, it was the first mod, I have ever done and it was a great feeling putting that sucker in, and well I liked it so much no one else has touched my car, except for things I could not control, or have the proper tools for.

And I loved the sound of my complete exhaust system with my off road h-pipe, everything went on at the same time, so it was a huge difference from stock.

Hey Shotgun, nobody thinks you're a dork. I asked for anything no matter how small. To make you feel better I got a REAL stupid one for you:

When I was in high school (a LONG TIME AGO), I had an 88 IROC (you could laugh, its OK)..it was a 305 5spd car with throttle body injection...for a 16 year old it was a dream compared to my parents cavalier. Anyway, the first thing I did was go to B&B performance and pick up my K&N, put it in right in the parking lot, and when I pulled out, I mashed it and actually thought the car was gonna fly or something!!!!!!! It just bogged up as usual and only chirped second when you power shifted.

Imagine that http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/biggrin.gif

Has anyone heard a borla exhaust on a mustang? My friend has a 89 Trans am(lets not hold that against him) and when he put on borlas it gave a really mean deep sound, unlike the high pitched wine of flowmasters.

Oh the he!! with it. I have never heard anything that sounded good on those toilets, especially Borla.

As far as Mustangs go, I know an idiot that did that "let me cut the holes in my GT bumper thing" and ran those borla fart pipes out the @ss end...

Let me just tell you this kid has NO friends

I think I would have to say swapping a 351W in place of a 3.8L. Not sure yet... I'm still finishing it up.

Your putting a 351 in an sn95? Does that work?

Not an SN95 body... its a 86LX Fox body. It had a 3.8L and C-5 trans. The block is getting worked at the time so once I get everything figured out it will be on the street. Hopefully in the next 2-3 months.

BTW the Cobra R is a 351 in a SN95.

My favorite mod was a Dr.Gas X pipe, the sound is very different! There isnt a droning at midrange, just more power!

What kind of mac's, where did you get them, and how much are they?

I think I might try them.

Are they louder than the flows or just deeper?

My favorite mod ? Well thats easy , One summer day i went to the garage , looked at my ride an decided we both needed a change. so I simply opended the hood , removed the radiator cap then pushed the ol' dodge out the garage ,drove in the new stang re installed the cap. thats was the trick "a brand new outlook on life. http://www.mustangworks.com/msgboard/wink.gif

well, if i can save up enough money it would probably be a twin turbo kit! Then I could kick out enough hp to kill almost anything! LOL

Well, i did some head work to e7's , put on some long tubes , removed the cats and had the t-5 rebuilt all at once. It sounded great, pulled hard and blew my rebuilt t-5 to shreds. Try getting warranty on mustang tranny rebuild. Got different t-5, rebuilt it myself and it works slicker than when new. Now it's fun to drive .
