List your worst mods.......
 

Have you done something to your mustang that you just totally regret? Was there some thing you bought for your mustang and put it on then took it right back off cause it sucked or didnt fit lol?

Lets here it for future refferance to those that want the same thing but unsure about it.......



I don't have very many

1) Buying my mustang from Toronto. wall:
2) Buying Mac underdrive pullies because I had to machine them done on a lathe since they hit my water pump, and wouldn't bolt on.
3) Buying a GT and not a Cobra. smack:
4) Cant forget about waisting my time wet sanding my headlights, when Im just going to buy a new set.

I will add to the future
MORE TO COME.....

Doing the 3.73's before the 4.10's.Total waste of laybour and money.Otherwise,none.

I still say you should have bought Airride's car complete ! As for me I hate my strut brace ... and my white face gauges !

Pro shifted Tremec TKO and 4.56 gears Probably a few more but can't think of anymore right now

Vortech.

Spun a bearing (low oil) and blew a headgasket as a result, haven't driven the car in over 8 months now.

Flowmaster 50 series catback
Buy a 6 cyl and swapping to an 8
Altezza taillights. (GONE NOW)

Going through 2 T5's before swapping to a TKO-600

With my old 85 5.0 I bought some gimmick that sat in the lower air filter pan to smooth out air flow. Didn't fit right and never made a diff....waste of $20

listening to a Ford parts manager that a Shelby GT500 chin spoiler would fit my V6...guess what?....I DIDN'T!

Wow this is interesting, I thought I was one of the only few people to waste money on BS lol
Keep this thread going.....

I have to say the worst part I spent money on was a Ground Pounder rearend girdle. Installed it, took the car to the track for a session and broke both caps in the rearend. Switched to a MAC and havent had a single problem since.

Selling my 5.0L and buying a 2V GT.

SInce I got the 2002 GT.....nothing to report yet.

Solid rear control arm bushings, vibrates like a bastard over 100k
Strut tower brace, wont fit right with aftermarket intake so Ive got all these big holes to look at.
Im sure Ill curse the 6point cage one day but so far so good

thats about it so far, not bad for 12plus years of mods though lol

Steeda timing adjuster...lol
mine was crap...lol

Snow Kit for my 04 Cobra..why..cause it doesn't do sh^t wall:

The paint (not my doing), then the fender paint.
Warped 14" american racing rims
APC cone filter without attaching the doodads to the intake pipe before MAF...
Using octane booster at the drags... waste of money.
NOT buying and installing a 5.0L driveline.

Nothing to reportthumb:

You say that now, just wait you'll be back! We all had issues smack: .
And so will you lol.

^^^^ Probably the one day he forgot to wipe down his car. lol

these really ugly 16x8 rims, I don't know what I was thinking.

Not a chance of that ever happeningthumb:

awe dang, whats gonna happen the weekend he forgets to wax his car?! this will seem like an opra show; bring out the tissues, and a comfortable chair, its gonna be a long post lol, just playing man.
as for this thread, i bought a set of one peice projector headlights for my 97, looked great, and those projector lightbeems were like two suns coming at you, even on a sunny day. had to always drive with the fogs on, hehe. however didnt fit properly and had to do way too many adjustments to get them in, including cut out a part of the header panel so theyde go in all the way. in the end ALL the adjusters broke off after so much putting them in and taking them back out to get them right. sucked cause they cost about $230. would have been well worth it if they would have fit from the very beginning. ill consider them again for my 04. this time ill try them on before paying!

added a new one to the list lol.

#4

I forgot ........ buying tires that were too small for the rear. ewwww.

Throttle body spacer.................absolute piece of removed it a week ago
the intake spacer is fine didnt notice much of anything for gains

All the work I had done at DaSilva racing that cost me thousands to have fixed and is still causing me issues.

I could have bought a whole other car by now!

Let's see, letting him cut and balance a driveshaft too short and put it in for a few years.
Not machining a brand new flywheel, ruining it on a clutch that didn't fit and then still not machining it and ruining that clutch and the flywheel.

Anything I ended up doing twice or will end up doing again in the future.

Well i guess i will put my 0.02 in here.

i bought a UPR shifter, i had never missed 3rd before i bought it....after i missed it several times...its gone now.

buying 18" rims...they look good, but hurt performance...

Buying a USED procharger system...

by far the worst mod was the cheapest $8.00 for a can of cleaner. $500.00 for the new motor after said can scerwed my engine.

oh great! lol, well it'll still be better than the one i got now :P

im guessing it wont do it to you, seeing it is a different car, and different set up.
I think i was just to used to the stock shifter.

Been there...done that! Installed a set of Southside Machine lift bars on my '89LX...those fackin' things creeked and moaned like a bitch...needless to say, they didn't stay on too long.

comp cams and gears and tci tourque converter all done at once 4 months still have problems

i dont know much about control arms but i know i need some new ones shortly is there a preferred brand out there?goodpost:

TV...the Southside bars i had were the first version without grease zerks...they would have been fine for a track duty car but, mine was more of a daily driver and I only made it to the track a few times a year.

Any new regrets this summer?

I can't think of a bad mod......I have spent nearly $30,000.00 but I can't think of one.....I did my research on each mod....other than modding is a waste of money and time...but you got spend that money on something..lol

I cant think of any either but im about to swap a motor and about to spend a few thousand more maybe ill find some in the next month lol

The meth kit & the tune from steeda.

lol another one?

Ford racing coolant hoses, all hoses, didnt know they were gonna be baby blue.
