I was looking through some past forums and saw ideas like making a ram air system through using a couple CAI's. Does anyone have other things like that they've done. I just had a serious budget cut cuz some idiot rear-ended me in a damn charger.

[232stang]

unless he bought it with cash and in full he should have a full insurance. which in a new car, i assume the new one, why wouldnt you have full insurance?

you can cut up your stock grill to give it a mach1 grill delete look
light film is cheap
cut your springs


"hp cost money"

lol whats that have to do with this chris?

[itschristorres8]

lol oh i thouhgt he wanted some cheap ideas for improvements lol

[AtlanticBlue99]

my cheap idea for improvement is maybe remove the air silencer, but that is it. you will always get what you pay for...

[mustang 94]

What would removing the air silencer do? It wouldn't even be a noticeable difference would it. The guy that hit me had insurance but it wasn't full coverage cuz he paid in cash.

[AtlanticBlue99]

the insurance company should have written a check after getting 3 estimates and avg. them.

and nope, no noticeable gains for the most part...

Painting your interior parts to match the exterior is a pretty cheap and noticeable mod....

It's all in preparation though!! The mored time you spend wet-sanding, using rubbing alcohola nd maybe spray on adhesion promoter the better it will turn out and the longer it will last...also CLEAR COAT really makes it look GREAT!

As far as performance, not many cheap mods out there...maybe weight reduction would help you a bit while you save for $$$ mods....

There are some ghetto like mods out there using leaf blowers as turbos BUT I wouldn't chance it with fu&^%ing up my ride just to get 1 HP from a leaf blower...

[mediaultra]

really?..cool...well if you think about it all you're trying to do is bring IN more cold air....so go figure..

what about a really PRO HAIR-DRYER set to COLD setting...lol

[Mustang RacR94]

yea my freind asked me to help him ****** rig an intake he went to autozone and bought a high flow air filter and then we went up to my house and got 4" dryer ventalation pipe(its a diseal ford not a stang) and took the intake box off past the filter box clamped it onto the hose then clamped the filter onto the other end of the pipe it did work the turbo was louder and was more ballsey in 4th and 5th, then again its a dieseal with a turbo they benfit alot more from more air intake so you can rig one i would just buy one thu but if you dont have the money then autozone sells a 25 dollar "high performance power adder" air filter that my freind used so just do that mail me if you need me to go into more detail for you RIP Joe 6/5/06

[itschristorres8]

[itschristorres8]

once im done paying off my paint job i can get a move on my performance


u get anything?

[mediaultra]

cool was your stang already lowered? I'd like to see the exact drop you got JUST from the c springs.....mine is TOO LOW

I got

white faced gauges
billet headlight knob
billet tilt wheel lever (that I cnat get on!!!) old one is stuck..lol

I also got some cash for xmas and I'm going to get a whole new stereo system installed....and order online the rest of my billet interior accessories
Setup thursday to get:

[itschristorres8]

my car wasnt lowered, it looks like it in the sig but thats cuz the guy that made it lowered it for me lol
i dropped my car off so the guys who painted can re-do the rear bumper so i get back tomoro and then i'll take pics of the drop

[mediaultra]

Thanks Chris...also what size rims are those....

I got 17's and my g/f is hounding me about getting c-springs to raise up a bit...PLUS things are starting to "RATTLE" in my interior from the bumpy ride...lol

[itschristorres8]

lol well what did you do just get springs?

mine are 17inch as well 17x9 all around
also really thin tires when they hit a rock or speed bump you'll feel it more compared to something thicker

I've seen it, but DO NOT try it, it will destroy your engine for reasons i hopefully dont have to explain to the more mechanically inclinde people.
