Jeans and a t-shirt. I'm not so picky about where my shifts come from though most of my shirts are from Aeropostale and American Eagle. I like Aero jeans. Something about them just feels better than Levis and such. And most of my clothes have stains of some sort on them. Mostly from working on the car, but that happens.

Not really into cars, but I remember you =p
If you're the kido I think you are, then I remember you too. Numbers just throw me off lol

Do me a favor and go beat the living piss out of your buddies. Let them know it's from me. There's no reason to ever touch another man's car, especially with intent of doing damage. Your buddies need to learn a little respect because if I caught them doing that to my car, they'd be lucky to see daylight again.
Haha. Something tells me they wouldn't be afraid of you.
Bro, I'm not some little kid like most people on these boards. I'm nearly 20 years old. If I caught someone drilling a hole in my [bleep]ing gas tank, they'd be lucky to have someone pull me off of them. Gas tanks aren't cheap and the labor isn't fun. Trust me, anybody that actually appreciates a car for more than it's convenience would teach your little friends a thing or two for what they do. They can go siphon gas all they want, but they better know what's coming their way one of these days.

I wanted something fuel injected so I went late model. I don't especially like the fox bodies and the SN95 (94-98) didn't appeal to me with the curves. 05+ was out based purely on cost. So with the new edge models (99-04) being my favorite body style of the late models I started looking and came up with a 2000 since it was one of the few 5 speeds I found. GT's were a little hard on the insurance (I wrecked my '00 Firebird a few years ago and insurance won't let me forget it) so the 3.8L V6 was what I was left with. I would have loved to get a 60's model (I actually plan on finding a Boss 429 or 66-69 GT in the future for a restoration project) but insurance on a classic car would kill me and I couldn't drive a classic for a daily driver. I would feel terrible putting all those miles on it
Yeah the fox bodies aren't the nicest cars ever... I only like the first gen, 4th gen, and the current generation of mustangs tbh. Actually 2nd gen wasn't too bad....
But yeah I can see why insurance would suck. Anyway best of luck with everything :)
Thanks bro. Yeah 1st generation was sick. Second was alright. I hate third. Fourth is my favorite. And I'm not a real big fan of the S197 models. I like how they tried to go back to the old look, but they're just too bulky.

So.. As much as I absolutely love working on my project car/daily driver, I'm thinking about holding off on the mods for a while and saving up for a bike. I found a Yamaha YZF for $3500 today and there are a few other goods deals on my local craigslist. I'm by no means giving up on the car, I just need something else to drive when I start in on bigger projects and will have the car down for days at a time (my work doesn't like me taking half a week off to work on the car lol). Plus I've always wanted a bike ;) Checked with insurance today and I can get covered for about $60/month. It's really basic coverage, but it's about the same as I have on the Mustang now. So I've got some things to consider and some money to save :)
-
Oh yea, you're that guy. As I recall, people thought you were a jerk. I didn't notice. But yea, you. You're here. Yay?
Nice looking car, though.
Lol are you the Lenin I remember?
But he's all grown up now! :3
It's so cute to see everyone all grown up :P

Sweet car, love all the detail and pics!
I was gonna say you need new paint, and then I saw you planned to do that.
And thank God you didn't get shiny chrome rims. Those things are ugly as [bleep].
Haha chrome is just too difficult to take care of. With work and school I can only get the car washed once a week so I figured black wouldn't show as much brake dust :) Plus I like how it looks with the black accents on the car like the rocker stripes, bumper letter, tribar emblems, and grill inserts.

Songs have always been the number one thing I associate with memories. If I've heard a song before, I probably have a specific time I can remember hearing it :) One of my favorites is "Somewhere Under The Raindbow" by Brother Iz. It reminds me of Hawaii and how much I miss that place.

OP: There is no way to stop someone from siphoning your gas. My friends do it all the time. When they come across a cap with a lock on it, they go under the car and drill into the tank. Its actually worth your money to just let them steal the gas till they get bored with it or get caught. Setting up any type of devices to catch the person will be too costly, and also you are dealing with criminals here.
I think you underestimate the criminal mind. If you stop them from getting the gas, don't be suprised if your tires go missing or if they just smash your car. Its best to let them have what little they want, because they are just going to take even more from you if you try to stop them.
Do me a favor and go beat the living piss out of your buddies. Let them know it's from me. There's no reason to ever touch another man's car, especially with intent of doing damage.

On a side note a car full of high school kids almost hit me doing 80 in a 40 this evening. They wanted a race but almost hit the median, then me. I was in a hurry to get home otherwise I would have chased them down and called the police (I'm against street racing, I even turned down a race against an Infinity at 2am on a deserted highway last night. Plus 5 guys in a 4 cyl Civic is nothing against even a V6 Mustang with gears, tlok, exhaust, intake, and a good tune). So I'll be on the lookout for an early-mid 90's, 4 door, 4 cylinder, black Honda Civic in decent (at best) condition. Gonna smack that kid around and show him why you don't mess around on public streets. We have a drag strip that's only an hour away and should be open by now.

Nice looking car, though.
Lol are you the Lenin I remember?
It will be a awesome car once you done with it. Post pics when you done :thumbup:
And good luck :mrgreen:
Thanks bro and will do :)
What's the point of the pedal lights? And will you just repaint it white, or choose another color? It's looking great so far though, those are nice rotors :D
Pedal lights are just for the hell of it (and to test my wiring skills :P). They're handy at night when you drop something on the floor or when the passenger needs to do something that requires light but the overhead lights bother the driver. I've also got them wired to a switch in case the police want to get on my back about it ;) And the car is going to be repainted white. I was going to have it painted Dark Shadow Grey but I'm not feeling up to pulling the engine to have the engine bay painted. And white with black accents has grown on me :)
I remember you! I wasn't every active when you were though but I remember seeing your sig at the bottom of a lot of posts.
Very nice looking car so far. Just curious, what made you pick the 2000 mustang? Shoulda gotten one from the 60's :P
I wanted something fuel injected so I went late model. I don't especially like the fox bodies and the SN95 (94-98) didn't appeal to me with the curves. 05+ was out based purely on cost.

Heh, when did you get back?
Either way, nice project. And you may want to edit out the license plate, don't think leaving it out here is allowed.
I got back today :) I'm not concerned with the plate, it's no longer registered to my name. I personally went with a custom plate ;)
is looking quite nice. A fresh paint job will definately make it look alot nicer and i imagine she sounds quite nice :D
Nice too see build threads out of the car forum i now find my self spending alot more time on then tif :P
Yeah I can't wait to get a new front bumper on it and some fresh paint. And I just so happen to have a video of the exhaust.
Note: I'm the camera man and the driver, so you don't get to see the tailpipes :P This is also all in neutral, it has a nice low tone in 3rd and 4th.
And I know how the car forum thing goes. I spend a good 5+ hours a day reading over car forums :)
-
I might also redo the exhaust with long tube headers ($350) and Thrush Weld mufflers ($100) and possibly an off-road H pipe. Considering doing a new camshaft as well. It's quite a rush to drive past cops and know your car is illegal in many way ;)

OT taught me that it doesn't matter what kind of music you listen to, everyone will claim to listen to the same thing to fit in. I haven't visited the Music forum since I started posting here again (just a bit ago) but I remember a few years ago either you were a metal head or you were nothing. Might still be that way, but I'll take my country music and play it proudly any day ;)

Every time I work on my car I'm scared it's going to fall on me (no matter how many times I've been under it, it's always in the back of my mind). I jack it up properly, jack stands all in secure locations, jack still in place for additional support and I'm still worried. My car sits low, so it would shatter my skull before the suspension settled.

Use infrared LEDs and a video camera if you want to catch them. They can't see the light from the infrared LEDs, but the camera can. Or just buy a locking gas cap and let them move on. I personally started pulling my car into my garage when it started getting vandalized.

No summer classes for me this year. Kind of wasted this year since I decided to change my major. Hopefully I'll get accepted into the auto tech program for next year, then I'll be taking plenty of summer classes so I can graduate as early as possible.
-
Nice body and sexy legs. I'll refrain from saying the other things I like about them
-
yeah, i remember you. nice car bro :thumbup:
and welcome back :)
Thanks bro :)
Wow, that's going to be one sweet car when you're done. If you don't mind me asking, how much money have you put into it so far and how much do you think the total cost is going to be?
And I remember you, but I wasn't really active when you were around.
I'll make a list of everything I can some up with for prices:
Car - $2400
Wheels - $1300
Exhaust - $400
Shocks/Struts - $300
Rotors - $130
Brake pads - $50
LEDs - $10
New clutch + install - $500
4.10 gears + posi + install - $700
Headlights - $80
Spark plugs - $45
Plug wires - $20
Rear window louver (not installed) - $300
Assorted gaskets/small partts - $100+
New tint (not installed) - $40
FRPP Shift knob - $50
So I've got over $6050 invested. The car is worth $3500 but I have no plans of ever selling it. When the engine goes, I'm going to pull a 4v V8 out of a Termi Cobra (along with 3650 tranny and 8.8" rear) and swap that in for a nice little sleeper. The things I still plan to do to the car include:
Paint - $2000
Front bumper - $200
Underdrive pulleys - $300
Windstar upper intake swap - $400
Upper control arms - $165
Lower control arms - $130
Short throw shifter - $180
Strut tower brace - $110
Shock tower brace - $80
Bumpsteer kit - $160
Lowering springs - $250
Caster/Camber plates - $200
Mach 1 grill delete - $100
Mach 1 chin spoiler $100
Tail light tint - $25
So there's another $4200 in upgrades along with $300 I'll be spending for new calipers this week. In the very end, I expect to have close to $15,000 into the car since I'm considering doing with nitrous or a supercharger. It's not a "good" financial decision but I'm loving every moment of it and all the experience will help me when I get into the Auto Tech program at my school (which is full so I may be taking a year off).

It's been a long time since I posted here, don't really recognize most of the names. Hell, I didn't really see many names when I posted about a year ago lol. Haven't played Runescape in a long time but I had been staying active here (OT) about 2 years ago or so. Got a little busy with work, school, and a new little project of mine. So if anyone remembers me let me know! And if you do remember me, here's what's been keeping me oh so busy:
My 2000 3.8L Mustang Project. Picked her up for $2400 with intentions making her into one hell of a car
Gave her a little bath (smoked OEM headlights installed as well)
Old headlights on the right, new smoked headlights on the left (I may tint them darker)
Dual straight pipes, Flowmaster 40 mufflers, and 3.5" tips all installed
Got a little ricey with the footwell lights, but they're nice for night time
Interior pulled apart to install said lights
Cold air intake installed
Fresh drilled and slotted rotors
New wheels ($1300 with Sumitomo HTR Z II tires on them) - 18x9 up front, 18x10 in the rear
Wheels installed
Decided to show some support for my favorite aftermarket company
Got tired of my red/white/blue tribar emblem so I blacked out the stripes
Old rotors and new rotors compared
Old shock and new shock compared
New rotor installed and shock behind
With the wheel on
And here's some of the issues I have left to fix:
Front caliper pistons destroyed from previous owner not installing brake pads correctly
Oil leak from either the oil pan gasket or rear crank seal
Needs fresh paint (mechanical issues are getting fixed first though)
Winter cracked my windshield :(
-
Lol I printed off a ton of these. My bro and I just went and used 2 of them and for being free it's not bad ;)

Well I'm graduating high school this month so I'm in search of a job. I plan on moving out this summer and starting at a community college in the fall. A year or two there then I'm transferring to a 4 year school. After that I just want a good paying job, a nice place to live, and start a family.
Your opinions?

Why does the chant have to mention God? I'm sure they could come up with 100 other cutesy little chants that the kids would love and never once mention God. The thing is, if it's not a state-run daycare, then it's fine as long as the parents know it's happening. I personally wouldn't want my kids being told that God is great and all that. When I have kids I'll make them aware of the ideals and teachings of many religions, but I'll let them pick their religion as they get older. My girlfriend wanted to go to this free concert at her school the other night and I went with her (free pizza, I was hungry). I had a it was going to be some Christian bs so I kind of picked up little hints of Christianity through their songs. Then they had a little intermission where they wanted to talk about God. They spent a good 30 minutes talking about it. Then the lead guy decided to lead everyone in a prayer. I refused to bow my head for it and after they finished up and went back to singing I walked out. It's good and all that they're willing to support their religion but it would have been nice to know they were going to waste my time pushing religion on me. I have my ideals and they don't change just because some guy says his god is going to send me to hell for not believing.
