The passing of one is the beginning of another**new pics on #57**

[Rice_slayer]

Got her today! My new ride, 2003 Ford Mustang Mach 1 Dark Shadow Grey! Love it so far, dyno'd at 298rwhp and feels a LITTLE peppier than my old HCI 302 did. It has a weird clunking noise when going over bumps, car is lowered so that might be it, when I can use a hoist at work on Saturday I'll check it out. Here are the mods that I know of/found on the car:

BBK Longtube headers
Catted X-pipe (looking for an O/R X ASAP to replace it)
Flowmaster catback (Looking at a Borla stinger catback, I am not a fan of the flowmasters)
J&M C/C plates
Tokico Illumina struts and shocks
H&R Race springs
Maximum Motorsports rear lower control arms
C&L cold air kit
4.10 gears
No-name short throw shifter(replacing with an MGW probably)

So for how dirty the car is, we drove 10+ hours today to get the car, and it gets Safetied tomorrow at my work, so I will hopefully have clean pictures by the end of tomorrow!

I bet it was a nice 10 hour drive in that thing! I would love to have a Mach. They're so sexy, even stock.

I found it... Good for you man it looks like it has a few nice mods. Get that engine bay cleaned up.

Looks great, i'm hoping to get one of these in the next 6 months also. A good cleaning after your 10hour drive will really look good too, especially on that engine bay lol.

Chrome saleens from the old car are going on when I get my new rim . It was a fun drive, 32mpg on the highway is decent with 4.10s lol. I love it, aside from the clunking noise, it's a good way to forget my old car. That shaker hood isn't that big to look over, that or I am use to the cowl hood on my old car lol.

@DJK- yep, sitting in the backyard with only 55km on them. The one rim that was hit was bent so I have a new one on order, when I get it I'm going to my work to mount it up and get them on the Mach!

black Mach 1 rims with a deep dish setup out back would make the car tits, chrome won't look good on a DSG car!

The clunking noise is hopefully an easy fix, like a loose strut or something. Generally they turn out to be a bigger fix though :-/

Nice pick up!

Someone posted a pic of basically the same car with chrome Saleens. I would agree with you except that picture looked pretty (.Y.)

that's because 2.73's require more effort to move from the 3.8. trust me i know, when I swapped to 4.10's I was seeing better gas mileage all around!

If you want a stinger catback, look into the SSS Adrenaline catback. $380 for a fully polished catback with 3.5" rolled tips, identical sound to singers.

Re: The passing of one is the beginning of another...

Congrats on the new ride, needs some TLC.
Also do the car have struts? lol

black Mach 1 rims with a deep dish setup out back would make the car tits, chrome won't look good on a DSG car!

I beg to differ

Mach 1 with out the shaker hood:

Re: The passing of one is the beginning of another...

badass!!

but javi that mach without a shaker looks to out of place lol the shaker makes the mach 1 hood sexy!
