Are you sure you want to dump good money into that car? Anything that would
make a significant difference would cost as much or more than the car is worth! You can probably find a 94/95 GT for what you could get for that car plus a grand or two. I certainly wouldn't bolt a SC onto a 165K engine. "Backyard Mechanic" > wrote in message ... > S.C.

Sorry, but I have to agree. 165k is a lot of miles to just begin thinking
about performance. If the car is in healthy shape still... you could do it... but you wouldn't enjoy it as long as if it were younger. Know what I mean? If you want a little extra "pep"... maybe gears? brb door...

He personally e-mailed me instead of posting to NG:
yes it does. that's why it's time to upgrade... exhaust, suspension and tires/rims 4 handling, etc... ideas? First you need to decide what you're going to use the car for. Plan it out entirely. Is it a drag racing car? Is it a car that will see lots of turns at high speeds? Etc. Mods that won't hurt regardless are generally suspension mods. Subframe connectors, shocks, struts, etc. Exhaust depends on what is done to the motor. You have damn near endless options here.. need to decide what you want your car to do first. -Mike -- A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT Cold air intake FRPP 3.73 gears Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter Full Boar turbo mufflers Hi-speed fan switch 255/60R-15 rear tires Subframe connectors > wrote in message news > The rest of the car still has a lot of miles... > > -Mike > > -- > A happy kid behind the wheel of a 98 Mustang GT > Cold air intake > FRPP 3.73 gears > Steeda Tri-Ax Shifter > Full Boar turbo mufflers > Hi-speed fan switch > 255/60R-15 rear tires > Subframe connectors > > > "S.C.
