HELLO!
New to these forums so i thought id introduce my mustang! Shes a 99' and i like to call her paris because she is very high maintenance!! usually forums like this have an introduction thread? i hope i didnt miss anything and this is where my post belongs! I got this car in late February from a kia dealership because it was in really nice condition (i thought). On the drive home it started having a extreme egr leak when the tube going into the egr vacuum solenoid from the egr tube attached to the exhaust manifold bursted. As soon as this happened i went to autocrap and replaced it. Then, it started to have a miss! after a while it threw a code and confirmed the miss. i replaced all of the coilpacks and that fixed the problem. Then the egr vacuum solenoid exploded and started leaking exhaust into my engine bay again! after replacing the solenoid and the delta pressure sensor behind it the hose kept popping off and the car had a severe power loss! i drove it for a day and a half to get to work and back 40 miles then i discovered the paint above the middle cat on the drivers side had gotten hot enough to melt the paint above it on the bottom of my car. i then attempted to gut the cats and it took me 3 times 2 hours each to finally get all the crap out! someone told me it was easy just poke through them... no way dude... dont even try it because it sucks unless you want to cut and weld some stuff! After i gutted the cats the first time i took it for a drive and i wanted to see if i had my power back and if i had successfully fixed my hose popping off problem. WELL, it had more power! The car felt alot beter for sure but now it started knocking! The car spun a bearing! Then i bought a rebuilt engine with zero miles on it and it is now a beautiful thing! I got a really good deal and paid 425 shipped for the wheels! as soon as i get around to it im gonna get her some 285's in the rear because the 275's look horrible!!! well enough with my vent! heres a few pictures i took just now and there will be more and better pics as soon as i detail her!
when i got her
old engine
exploded solenoid
new engine
cobras
and yes i know.... it needs a drop...
