Tell Me What You Think Of This?

Drtbkercr5 · December 17th, 2007, 10:06 PM

There is obviously an aftermarket strut bar in there. Now when i bought this car it was believed to be completely stock. Im kind of confused why anyone would put this in and nothing else to upgrade the car?? I always thought of strut bars to be a racing type of thing??

HMUSN · December 17th, 2007, 10:09 PM

some of your cars had that stock.

Drtbkercr5 · December 17th, 2007, 10:15 PM

Covering the oil fill cap like that?? Thats strange. Btw...i like Will's girl in your avi. Real cute.

HMUSN · December 17th, 2007, 10:18 PM

that's not wills girl.
and I was talking about the strut tower bar.

Drtbkercr5 · December 17th, 2007, 10:25 PM

oh. i thought that looked like one of his pics..anyways...i know that, what i am saying is the strut bar covers the oil fill cap. Its hard to see in the pics but the bar is directly over the cap making putting oil in the car a hassle. i had to get a funnel with a hose. why would ford do this?

96GTRagTop · December 17th, 2007, 10:26 PM

that came stock on 94 95 96 and 97 years

Drtbkercr5 · December 17th, 2007, 10:31 PM

ok. then screw my question. lol...im pissed, i was hoping to find a great bunch of mods or something

96GtGoodz · December 17th, 2007, 10:49 PM

lol nope sorrry i got that too

96GtGoodz · December 17th, 2007, 10:49 PM

nice engine though man really clean

MustangMatt96GT · December 17th, 2007, 11:57 PM

i took mine off, they arnt really needed. But i put it back on when i ran slicks cuz i dont have SFC yet.

Drtbkercr5 · December 18th, 2007, 09:22 AM

thanks...although i really can't take credit for the clean engine. Its been like that forever, never seems to get dirty. I think its because i try to stay off gravel and stuff

ReverendDexter · December 18th, 2007, 01:12 PM

Yeah, I'm the opposite: on my Cobra, they didn't put a strut tower brace, to add insult to injury they didn't even put the damn holes for one. Bastards.

u have a 98 cobra?

HMUSN · December 18th, 2007, 01:14 PM

no his G/F does

MustangMatt96GT · December 18th, 2007, 01:28 PM

yep even in GTs in 98 they didnt have holes. I can't seem to get one bolt in, any ideas other than taking it off again and starting that bolt first.

To be fair, it's my car in all buy name. I don't think she's driven it twice in the past 2 months, and I just put 350 miles on it the other day.
