i should never have started modding mine honestly... i would be about a grand richer... and i could have bought a tuner and the pulleys and been sitting pretty with 22 mpg in the city no problem

thetrooper31 · January 3rd, 2008, 05:43 PM

cool stuff man

MustanG_guy17 · January 3rd, 2008, 06:25 PM

Thanks. I modded my 04 a little bit exhaust and cai. But I was not pleased with the results, almost no performance at all from those mods. I hear cai+tuner on the 4.0 is well worth it. well see.

well if i didn't invest in the rabbit i would have 2 grand... and then i could start listing off all the bullshit dates, unnecessary things i purchased, all the stupid games i have... Man if i would have been smarter i would be loaded...

But yea I put a grand into the exhaust system and the pulleys, lights, lowering springs... now that i think about it ... rims and tires were $500... blowing the timing cover was a $700 mistake... the lower rear main was another $500

so there you go... if i wasn't stupid i would have ... almost 3-4 grand...

thats enough for a nice little vacation

Nice man, i knew i was going to mod mine, I just didnt know it was going to feel so good. Went to a shop which is really well known and has a great reputation yesterday for a quote on install of t-lock and gears and to see if they did exhaust work (and just to check the place out) and felt amazing when I left. Looks like Florida's getting a supercharged 4.3 stroker (I wish).

I almost wish I hadn't bought my wife her '04. That would be an extra 450 bucks in my pocket every month.

the obsession isnt serious quite yet
until you've put more in the car then whats its worth then its beyond serious
ive past the point..the car is worth like $6k maybe...i paid $7500 and i've put about that much in total from bolt ons, to turbo, tires, rims, suspension etc..
and ive only started

MWWarlord · January 4th, 2008, 04:49 AM

Well Chris, I'm halfway there. I paid 6k for my car , and I've put 3K in mods into it. Although I've easily put over 3K in repairs...so does that count? I'm still going though. I have a plan. By the time I'm done I'll probably have spent at least twice what the car is worth in mods. However, the car is worth it to me.

shadow5403 · January 4th, 2008, 08:22 AM

yikes....i think im over the 7g investment, oh well....once you start seriously modding the car...its value goes to shit.....so why not keep modding it, right?

tjames · January 4th, 2008, 11:52 AM

graystang01 · January 4th, 2008, 03:02 PM
