On your car that is... I guess you only get it when you buy a car that is modded already haha. When I was cleaning my wheel wells up a while back I was cleaning undernieth and see the trq boxes had been welded. Def. a nice thing to know, as the last owner didnt know it. Also found out that the car has a Pro-M mass air meter. I had fig. it was the stocker or something recalibrated. Its like finding money under the seat sometimes haha :rlaugh:

Oh yeah, best thing I found was when I finally decided to see what blower pulley was on the car. I fig. it was a 3.3" pulley, but never measured it. I never really seen what boost it was making because when she makes it, I am to focused on the road to look at the gauge.....long story short, its the stock 3.6" pulley. Kinda makes me happy knowing the motor has not been pushed to hard and that it made decent numbers on low boost, asumming 6-7 lbs? I will know for sure int he next month. Just waiting on the weather to finally clear up and she is going down to SGS Automotive to get put on the dyno to make sure everything is ok before she goes to make her mayden pass down the track :hail2: I can not wait!

Thanks for listening to me blab :lol::D
 
When i bought my car and drove it off i was like "Damn this car handles a lil too well for a 95 mustang" So while doing the brakes and found Eibach springs and Tokico Illumina Shocks/ Struts ....Saved me damn near a grand. The previous owner didn't know either.
 
ya same thing happened to me too, i didnt realize it when i bought mine i know the guy i bought it from new about it but it was a nice mod done to the car and that was a power sunroof.
 
I bought my car new from the ford dealership and the only thing I found was a monthly bill statement in the mail box and a credit card bill from American muscle:cry:

But it was fun seeing the looks and performance of my car change over the years.

Nice find guys:nice:
 
mine had a stack of receipts of a long history of maintenance visits to different dealerships lol it was hidden in an envelope inside the dash for some reason :scratch:

they also left me an entire amp/system wiring kit left installed. so if i ever get an amp or system, its already wired with RCA's and everything lol.

i knew a guy that had an old el camino and he had it for years before he pulled out the radio to replace it and found a ball of cocaine behind the radio :shock:
 
the day after I bought my car I found out I had flowmaster mufflers not magnaflows. Thought they were magnaflows because the tips are. Guess the previous owner just went to a exaust shop instead of buying a whole catback. Also found out I had one of those new fram airhog filters in it. Other then that it was all stock.
 
I knew my car had a bunch of junk on it when I bought it. The only real thing I wanted to buy was a short throw shifter b/c the "stocker" in it was chitty. Well when I pulled the motor and trans I found out it had a pro 5.0 shifter, but still had the stock handle with a torn factory rubber bushing on it. So I eliminated the bushing and bolted the handle directly to the shifter base (allowed me to lower it and angle towards me more) and it feels great. :D
 
i found my car had 373 gears. i never talked to the previous owner because i got it preowned and the bastard never tuned the car to compensate for the gear change. lol. i thought i was going 130 when i was really just going like 100 :)
