1) fix my motor :(, 2) when the motor is pulled I plan on rubbing of all surface rust in the engine bay (there is not much) and possibly spraying the engine bay/jams to match paint. 3) black interior maybe? 4) MMAAYYYBBBEEE new heads but I doubt it. :O we'll see though

Its not that bad, many have done it. Mark 8 motor is ok, weak cast iron crank though. Other than that that rods/pistons are the same as 96-01 cobras. Mark 8 is an aluminum teskid block. Can't get much better for a factory Ford bare block. You can get them cheap now too. The heads are the B heads which are ok, but not the best out there for an n/a setup if thats your plan.

cutting out the spare tire section, put in a 5 gallon fuel and water cell, also want to go with a in car air to water intercooler and put more timing in her with the cooler air inlet temps. and maybe some aluminum kirkey seats to lighten it up some, also might try some MT 275-60 radials.

PJ!! u staying in the mustang scene is my vote

Green92LX · Status: Offline

hahaha, i know, but i want something with better MPG, a nice modern interior/drivetrain, and better reliability... on top of it all, something more practical and i can drive all year without a worry, hence the AWD of the EVO or STI.

91notchback · Status: Offline

yea i understand man but the newer cars like 99-04 are pretty good on the snow belive it or not my mom had 1 and it was the daily driver and got decent mpg but either way best of luck man

Green92LX · Status: Offline

yea, a mach 1 or terminator is high on my list too.

I disagree. EVen with snow tires i hated driving my '03 GT in the snow. I ended up ditching it for an AWD G35. Now it's nice not caring about how many inches are on the ground. Just hit the gas and it goes through everything.

But i only lasted 6 months out of the Mustang scene. Been hanging around G35 boards a ton and they are a different bunch for sure. Good think i kept my Fox 5.0 otherwise i'd go crazy. Pulled it out of the garage where it has been parked for 7 years and got it driving again. The old Fox bodies sure are a different breed than the 99+ cars. I miss my '03 GT :)

91notchback · Status: Offline

my moms was a 03 gt vert and if it was alotta snow it would be horrible but if it wasnt alot it was good also it was like 99% stock only bolt on was cold air intake and it was a auto so she didnt really have any real problems with it traction wise in the snow u know but for my mom it was good

pj TERMINATOR FTW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mustang5L5 · Status: Offline

I had other reasons for ditching the '03 GT. I miss the car, it ran awesome, but wasn't really the best for my daily life's needs.

A kid in peabody owns it now

maybe you should buy a Galant vr4 with a roof rack, I hear they are mustang eaters.

My cuzn's STI is a tank in the snow, if you get 1 i have a brand new BOV ill give you for 20bucks, its the Greddy type RS.....the company shipped him 2 an we only oredered 1 lol. it just sits in my room somware

Green92LX · Status: Offline

I'm leaning more towards the EVO right now. I'm hearing about dif and tranny problems with the STI's. Plus my buddy is getting one and I don't want the same thing as him.

a buddy of mine had a nasty built wrx (not STi) that would shit on stock STi's. That went thru trannys like crazy. and these weren't stock. fully built trannys wouldn't last but a few weeks. i guess his driving style probably didnt help tho...

Mustang5L5 · Status: Offline

Okay, well winter is halfway done so i guess this is all I did.

#1.) Rebuilt (new shaft bearing and sandblasted inner surfaces for good seal) and reinstalled smog pump and install catted Magnaflow H-pipe

#2) Currently working on reinstalling my A/C because that 30 pounds is just not worth me sweating my ass off in a black fox with black leather as i cruise around town barely if ever actually flooring my car. I'm buying all new Ford stuff too.....$400 and counting. :(

I've also done a lot of engine bay detailing and refreshing. New vac lines, all wiring has been reloomed in new black look with fresh tape, cleaning up every ounce of grease and grime and making it look like factory new.

If you can't tell, i'm pretty anal about my car.
