First mod? whats it gonna be.

Chris02 · November 21st, 2006, 05:16 PM

Hey!

I put this up as a thread a couple times but I gotta ask once more and its the last time hah

. Whats the first mod for my 02 GT (Silver) going to be? Right now it's up in my garage hibernating haha. So I don't think it matters which one I get first..but I was thinking of getting the 18x9 and 18x10 Chrome Saleen wheels first. And then H&R lowering springs and gears. And after that I guess I'll get the Magnapacks..but I'm not so sure if I want the gears done before Magnapacks..but like I said its in the garage for the winter and won't come back out until June so I have time..I just wanna bring it out looking different,loud and fast. As for the looks I want to get a grill delete and chin spoiler done over the winter at least beside the wheels. Question is should I sell my wheels when I have the new ones or just keep them just incase? I want to drop the Mustang when I have the 18s on it. But yeah just let me know what you think should come first. Thanks!

Chris

gears and tuner then do your exhaust

MSTGGT00 · November 22nd, 2006, 12:15 AM

Go with gears and a tuner first. BEFORE anything else. You'll love it, trust me.

3.73's on a manual, 4.10's for an auto would be your best bet.

wouldn't it make sense to tune it after you put exhaust on it?

Don't Fear The Gear, get 4.10's manual or auto, I love em on my 5 speed GT. Do it

Ah, good advice. I just never rode 410s in my manual so i didn't know how that'd be, I imagine awesome though so ...

Do as the man says, 410s.

itschristorres8 · November 22nd, 2006, 01:15 AM

4.10s in first while racing will be under 2 seconds

FOR POINT SIX · November 22nd, 2006, 03:31 AM

4.10 are great Auto or manual

Chris02 · November 22nd, 2006, 07:29 AM

So after gears and exhaust tune it right?

ChrisJ · November 22nd, 2006, 07:33 AM

Gears...You can use a speed cal to fix the speedo for the gears...

Exhuast...

You dont really need a tune after thos mods...I would wait till you get all the botl-ons you plan on getting before you get a tune...

But you could order a SCT XCAL2 with mail order tunes on it and that would not be bad at all...

SOunds like you are on the right track...

Chris02 · November 22nd, 2006, 07:38 AM

Yeah man..should be an interesting time here..Right now i've got a lot of money saved but just waiting and researching what I should get for sure. BTW when I lower the GT with H&R Springs and then get upper and lower control arms..will it make it a BIT lower?

ChrisJ · November 22nd, 2006, 09:32 AM

My control arms actually lifted my rear just a tad...

Chris02 · November 22nd, 2006, 12:21 PM

What other suspension work would be good to get?

ShapeShifter · November 22nd, 2006, 03:17 PM
