Got another pony

Saint · May 12, 2013

So...After spending nearly 400 in gas every month in the GT I decided it was time to get a gas save. Just scooped a clean 3.8. Just needs a brake job and new power steering pump and temp gauge fix. The temp gauge stays super cold and drops to zero on the road but after a 1 hour drive home I hit it with the temp gun and it was not over heating at all. Could probably get by a few months without the power steering pump replacement. Since the whine isn't bad.

Car has brand new paint job..there is a run on the passenger fender but it's barely noticeable.

Removed the pony - First mod

And... The finale

Yes sir! and only one f'ing cigarette burn on the passenger seat. The rest of the interior is perfect. Some teenage girl owned it before me and before that a mechanic.

If you're looking to get a bit more out of it, change the rear end gears.

I found a huge change when changed mine to 373's. It also made it much better to drive in the city. I found before I was in between gears for common city speeds (30, 50, 60, 70 km/h), but when I changed to 373s I was able to find a gear that would sit at a nice rpm.

Nice it'll kept it in mind later down the road! Did you get an increase in fuel consumption? I really don't want to turn it into a gas guzzler lol...I've spent all my life in V8's and 5.0's lol

Thanks man... I spent 3 months on craigslist for it lol. As soon as I saw the red interior it was a done deal since it was an option package that is very hard to find now for 94-95 models

I don't believe I noticed an increase. Not 100% sure though, don't really keep track

Depends how I drive too...

Cool I might swap gears next year cause I would indeed love just a little more pep. You car is making me want to do a spoiler delete and front put the ABC Cobra bumper with lip

.

Any idea what spoiler is on my car? Is it stock cause the support piece in the middle looks a bit odd.

Orange 94 · May 12, 2013

I found gears were the best bang for the buck.

I think your car looks pretty good as is, could use some cobra headlights

Twista · May 12, 2013

no idea on the wing because the stock doesn't curve down that much and almost hit he body on the ends.. plus the middle piece.

its close to stock, but not.
Good find.

Yea, I have the Cobra headlights on the GT and love them. I think I may go with smoked Cobra's and HID kit. I'm swapping out the tail lights for the original vertical tails that came on the car. Car is a 94 by the way.
