I just bought my first Mustang, a '95 GT, mostly factory except for the pipes and rims, and beautifully cared for by a young Ford mechanic. Its in great shape and so pretty! Does anyone have any tips or suggestions for a new member (what to watch out for, what not to do...?) I'm learning fast, and lovin' it!,

Jewel, welcome to the site!


First off, those SNs are fairly under powered. A friend of mine with his mint ultra low k (30k if I recall) put down a horrible 160 RWHP.

You may want to consider adding a gear to the car, get some more ummmff out of it.


Any pics of your car ?

Sounda like a nice car, welcome aboard.

Hi Jewel... congrats on your purchase! Look into 410 gears (and a speedo gear to adjust after the gear change)... bigger gears will really wake up your stang!

so I guess this means that the fifth gear in mine and the cobra shifter are not factory for my model?!!! I love my car and I've got a lot to learn!

Heh heh heh ... a little to learn yet. :)

The 5 speed is standard on a Mustang, the shifter knob is interchangeable on all and is not mechanical. When we refer to more gear and 410s we are referring to the gears in the rear end differential of the car (internal). The gears can be had in different sizes and the larger the gear (the more cogs) the more "power" it will feel like (think of the rear cassette of gears on a bicycle - the smaller gears take more push on the pedals to move).

You'll need a mechanic to install rear gears.

Cheers

Welcome

Hey allison,
thanks for replying, I guess you saw I'm in Vancouver. I was going to post asking if there were any other girls out there too. Nice car!!! you're way ahead of me, I'm really a newbie, and my '95 GT is way more traditional than your car. Looks like you know alot too, I'm trying to learn some but in the meantime, I'm having a great time with my car and taking all my girls for drives (and any boys who are interested too),
