Checkin in from North Carolina

[Parts Jimmy]

Hello from Roxboro, NC. I am a old guy that sells Ford Parts for a living. Just picked up a 2004 GT automatic with 65k miles and thought I would get in to the online Mustang scene. I plan on using my car to commute to work in Cary and also have some fun with. I will be keeping the engine fairly stock however I do plan on some mild suspension mods to enhance the handling. My first addition will be some M-5300-B Ford Racing springs. The car came with a cold air kit,cat-back Flowmaster exhaust system, and some Replica Cobra 18s wrapped with Kuhmo rubber. I have some lower back issues so I can't get too crazy with the suspension mods.

Nice place you got here!

Welcome to sn also an old guy here. Dose the car have gears yet if not make it you next mod and enjoy the site

 

[Parts Jimmy]

Might do 3.73s but I don't want to hurt the fuel millage.

 

[GT Rob]

Nice looking ride. Is your car stick or automatic. Mine is automatic and I have 373 and its alright on gas

 

[Parts Jimmy]

What do you call all right? I do a 110 mile per day commute. 1/3 of it is in city traffic. I am hoping to get 23-24 stock. I really would like to do 3.73s but I have to get decent fuel millage.

 

[GT Rob]

I think I get 15 to 20

 

[Parts Jimmy]

Yep, that won't work for me. I may have to live with the 3.27s.

Nice ride, if your going to live with the 3.27's might as well throw some boost with it.

looks good how it sits, i wouldnt even worry about lowering it with a bad back! welcome to the forum

 

[Parts Jimmy]

Its got the 4x4 thing going on. If it was a awd I would probably leave it alone. Hopefully the b springs will ride nice, improve the handling, and still ride decent. Thanks!

Got those springs on. Rides a little firmer and looks much better.
