Hey everyone, looking to get a 1994-1998 Mustang GT in the next few days. Completely new to this so bear with me here.
I have been using a motorcycle daily for the last 4 years and think this would be a great first car. Moved a lot so never got the 'first car' experience when I was 16...
Anyway, looking for manual, can be high miles, red and preferably convertible. Want it to be as stock as possible so I can learn to work on the car and upgrade things over the lifetime of the ownership.
I want to make this a fun semi-daily that I can also go on longer trips with and maybe once in a while even to the drag strip hehe.
Few Q's for all ya experts on here
-Could anyone explain the core differences between the 4.6 and 5.0 in the SN95? sure it has more displacement and thus probably a bit more torque etc. but any differences in reliability etc?
- I want the car to be loud and I heard a bit about X-pipes and H-pipes, is there a difference?
- Any Suggestions for first mods? I plan on throwing a short throw shifter in her, cobra front bumper and maybe hood, and cold air intake... any necessities im missing?
- If the car has higher mileage, what are some of the first preventive measures and focus areas to make sure its reliable? I heard bearings are prone to fail? I would do an oil change and flush the fluids, what else?
Thanks for reading this long post, any help is appreciated!
