[QUOTE="cfvwtuner, post: 1586261, member: 37899"] I picked up this 1995 GT in the Fall. It's super ugly, but the bones are good. Shock towers are really clean, especially for a New England car. It was repainted because of shot paint supposedly. I was told it had a cam, and 4.10 gears. It didnt run, but a new distributor fixed that. Then it ran super poor. I bought a refurbed PCM, when I went to install it I found a board plugged into the factory PCM with a USB cable and a button cell battery. I replaced the computer since I had it, and it ran better. I then swapped the BBK MAF for a stock replacement one, and it's running better again. Plans are to make a fun driver and track toy. Engine mods are going to be pretty much nothing other than maintenance. It'll be fast and torquey enough for me as it is. Suspension is waiting to be installed, Koni Oranges and SVE springs. Maybe more eventually. Brakes will be stock rear, and Cobra up front. It came on the teeny stock 16's. I found these 17x9 FFR's for a good deal so they will be sitting under the fenders for a while. I'm thinking of a square 275 set of Firehawk 500's for tires. I previously owned a 1980 Mustang Ghia hatch as my first car, 89 4cyl Convertable, a 94 V6 with 3:73's (was my favorite Mustang), and a 2004 GT I bought new. I'm not worried about ultimate track/autocross performance. I have a lot to learn before it's the tires or suspension limiting my track times. I ran track days and autocrosed with my wife 20 years ago in a fairly prepared Focus ZX3, so I know what I'm getting myself into. Anyway, here's a pic of the old girl with the new wheels installed.
