What were your first mods...

How did you like your '97? My best friend is looking for a '96-'98 GT.

First car:
'66 Mustang
200ci Inline 6
C4 auto tranny

First mod was duals. It cut torque down a little, but I did it because the old system was rusted out and I WAS planning on adding 6-2 headers.

I'm still in the middle of my 2nd, 3rd, and 4th mods. A Granada disc brake swap, 302 w/ a C4, and 8" rear.
But before the V8 goes in, the car will get a mildly rebuilt 200 from Mustang Monthly. That way I can drive the car while doing the V8 suspension and brake conversions. Then the engine swap should only take a couple days once all those things are done.
I'll also probably shoot a new coat of paint on the car somewhere in the middle of all those plans. Then once the six is pulled, the idea is to find another inline car to take the newer engine, so my parents or little sister can have a classic.

This is actually RESTOmodding, but you asked.

2002 Mustang
My "second" car so to speak, yet at the same time my first.

All I've done is looks because that's cheap, performance is too much money for me right now.

So here's everything:

Engine Mods/Dressups
1. UPR Cold Air Intake ($40 on Ebay)
2. Electrical wiring re-wrapped in blue electrical tape
3. 3/8" Blue plastic tubing

Interior Mods/Dressups
1. Chrome racing pedals by Pilot Motor Sports
2. Hand-painted Mustang logo and lettering on steering wheel, passenger-side dash, and door jam rubber
3. Black Fuzzy Dice
4. Ford Racing seat belt pads passenger and driver side
5. Ford Racing floor mats
6. Spray-painted and clear-coated, center dash bezel, door handle "cups", door arm rest panels, and A/C vents silver.

Interior Lighting Mods
1. Map lights redone to house blue LEDs
2. Dome light redone to house blue LEDs
3. Optix (Streetglow) Blue radio bar (pulses to music) mounted underneath stock headunit.
4. Blue lighted APC shift boot

Exterior Mods/dressups
1. Monogram initials on driver's side door "AEG"
2. Spray-painted Mustang lettering black on rear bumper
3. Wal-Mart sticker design on rear bumper
4. Mach 1 knock-off hood black-out with mustang logo in center
5. Chrome plate covers
6. Body side trim removed
7. 3A racing Chrome Exhaust tip
8. Custom mesh grille made from an old spray-painted window screen in lower front grill and rear squares.
9. Mustang logo in center of hubs for stock rims hand-painted black. (three of my rims are beat to hell)
10.5% VLT tint on rear quarter windows. (hoping to tint whole rear window)
11. Painted brake calipers red
12. "JP40 ONLY" (rocket fuel) Vynl sticker letters on fuel door a friend of mine suggested I change it to either "Hay Only" or "Oats Only"
13. Chrome Stripping areound grill and headlights.

Exterior Lighting Mods
1. Blue underglow
2. Blue lighted side scoops
3. Blue lighted washer nozzles
4. Blue lighted grille
5. 3" round fog lights with blue LED in bottom
6. CLASSIFIED AND IN PRODUCTION

Sound System Mods
1. Pioneer TS-A6870R's 6"X8" 220 Watts

What I wish I could really do is have the whole car re-sprayed silver and body work done. Passenger side is a different shade than driver's, I took out the front bumper on a rock after I had a blow-out, after the side trim was removed we noticed it left a shadow, scratched to h ell and back, DEEP scrathces on drivers door handle, overspray on roof and tail-light. Guess that's what I get for buying a rental car. (car was originaly registered to the Hertz Corp. in Massachusetts) I bought it from Dover Chrysler, after trading in the '97 4 banger Chevy S-10.

--That's all I'm done now.

First car: My stang
1st mod: Bullit fuel door (actually it was an aluminum trim kit but I've never installed it...yet)
1st performance mod: To be announced soon lol

First 'stang: '95 v6

First mod: MAC CAI (eventually... it was going to be a Ford Racing handling kit but was backordered forever so I cancelled the order and bought the CAI 'cause I could put it in at the parking lot at Tech)
Also; the previous owner put on Tokico shocks and cut holes in the underside of the hood...

What I wish I did: convinced my parents to let me get a GT.

That thing sounds/looks nice. Umm about the GT, I loved that thing! It was quick and had a decent amout of power in the top end... down low it felt more like a lightly modded 99+ V6, but the topend power was great, once I hit lie 65 and 70 it wouldn't stop climbing, it was just realy smooth pulling.

What was the insurance difference between your v6 and the gt?

Actually, I was last night BUT during the day I washed/claybared/polished/waxed my stang from 12 to about 8:30. Then I hung out with a friend of my later on that night, oh and then I prostituted myself(as usual).

First car - too long ago to think about.

On my current 03 coupe, the mods (in order) were:
fog lights
interior billet goodies
exhaust
Bullitt suspension kit
more interior goodies (including MGW shifter)
CAI
Tint
tires/wheels
chin spoiler
polished door sill plates

LOL, spam is the man.

First mods were a catback dual exhaust system, then a CAI, then a grill delete kit, underdrive pulleys, and diablo predator.

took off the front license frame from the dealer ship.

My first mods were:

MAC CAI
Steeda shifter
Steeda U/D pulleys

and that was it...after that a LONG list came along

first mod on my first car??????.............................


ummmm........ who can remember

My 1st mods on my V6 was a cold air intake, shifter and exhust. Then Gears.

My rents were against me 'adding power' so I changed every interior knob and handle to chrome and put in a Pioneer HU and 4-way speakers. I've got a K&N drop-in filter and synthetic oil for my 'power mods' Soon to come is COMPLETE CAI (or a t-body) and a catback from MAC, then pulleys and ignition.
