02 should be metal if im not mistaken

Good call sticking with 02+

Get a cheap gt... I paid 6k for mine in like 07 and it was a blast to drive

The t45 Trans has been known to seize up also... But I'm not sure how much of that is the driver or not... But common report (happened to me and ponyjr both on ours)... I drove my car like I stole it though to be fair

03/04 cobra has IRS.. Much more $$ though than GT no major problems... I listed most... Steering rack bushings are prone to rot because of oil filter location, swap with poly and good to go Aside from heads shooting plugs, they're prone for timing chain tensioner and guides wearing... Cheap and easy job though if you're even semi mechanically inclined... And the intake manifold... If yours leaks though, replacement was like $200 when I got mine, it's not bad and it's updated design from 02+

Nothing wrong with 450, all I was saying is both the GT and the Mach 1 have the same limitations, so there's nothing making the Mach 1 stand out over a GT other than price and styling. If a fun cruising around car is the goal, the GT does it just as well as the Mach 1, and for cheaper (and without the ugly rear pillars, matte rocker/hood/wing stripe, and wheels)....The shaker hood is kinda cool though

The Mach 1 still has cast internals and still blows up at 450rwhp just like the GT. If your goal is power, go with the cobra, it's also 4v but has forged internals rather than cast... I never understood the Mach 1... They put upgraded heads on it but stuck with the same junk internals

And just to post whore it up, here was mine... I miss this car. I converted it to a drag car and lost interest... Can't wait to pick up a cobra... Probably 2 more years sadly... My best advice: GTs are slow. Don't bother hacking it up in the pursuit of power, because it's just not worth it... Better off getting an ls1 car if that's the goal... Once I swapped the motor, she saw the streets 3 more times then went up for sale

Here's the forum I always liked best, in addition to hellmutts www.mustangforums.com/

Pre 02 had plastic intake manifolds known to crack. Updated ford racing model available. Gas tank grommets go bad occasionally. Fuel pumps aren't overly reliable Interior feels kinda cheap Can't use front cup holder unless you get a short throw shifter Most important: if you change plugs, make sure to use a torque wrench... If the plugs aren't perfectly torqued, they can break... I had one shoot out while I was driving down the road, and it's a very common issue Overall, they're pretty unreliable cars... But I bought it as a toy, drove the piss out of it, and fixed it any time I broke it (I destroyed the spider gears in rear diff at the track) My next fun purchase will be a 03/04 cobra. Loved the car, despite any issues. Spent hundreds of hours on Mustang forums for this model, so if you have specific questions feel free to ask and maybe I'll have an answer for you.

Tundra... This is a no brainer. /thread

I'll work part-time if you have any at home positions ... I think it's time yall expand to AZ and rescue me from the banking industry!

Interesting... Mind if I ask what the sprint offers that zx14 doesn't? I was under impression the zx14 was just a concourse without luggage, but I don't know anything about them... Always liked sprints, post a pic when you pick it up

Sticker brand new was only 11300 and I got mine a year old leftover for 8999....it's not an overly expensive bike, they probably didn't need to cut costs that closely

Probably is, but there's plenty of components on the bike that aren't bare bones... I don't think cheapest possible was the goal... It's not an fz09

No idea... The vfr is single sided too... Guess that's what the design team prefers lol... I like the look of it over standard, and I forget the exact sticker on the other brand bikes, but I looked at an fz1 and a z1k at the same time I snagged this, and remember them all being similar in price, with fz1 being a bit cheaper and z1k being more

Have you ridden one? My cb1000r is a fucking blast and I have zero complaints... It'll keep up with the cbr up to 100, and being a naked bike it's not like you need to do much more on a regular basis... The torque curve is insane on this bike, most fun bike to ride I've owned... Don't need to wring it's neck to get to the power... You can definitely tell it's a 1k

Just have to wait for right buyer... I'd love to pick this up and I'd pay asking price if he was local... Fix it up for the gf or use it as a mpg saver for commuting... Could use as a track bike.... Plenty of reasons to buy this other than being a new rider.... Plus, who wants to buy a pristine bike for their first ride? I'd rather have one that's already been down to learn on, so I don't ruin the value of it if it falls

Until the socialist nanny state makes it mandatory and finds a way to get their cut.

Wow.. Seems like a staff issue to me.. I worked on a loading dock for 5yrs with 20+ other dudes and never saw a single door get damaged.. Start firing motherfuckers and they'll quit throwing your cash away lol

Idk how it's written bub, but I can 100% assure you that my ticket said reckless op on it. I also received one on a separate occasion that said "drag racing" even though it might be called something else. I have no reason to make the shit up lol

Samsung has paper thin screens now that flex, bend, fold, etc.... Should hold up decently well... On loading dock, they back trailer until it hits wall with bumper then open the doors up... Screens shouldn't be in position to receive a direct impact

Yes you can get reckless for any speed, if the officer determines you're driving recklessly. Very broad definition too. In my experience, you pretty much have to be in an accident or WAY above limit to get the reckless charge though, most cops just aren't douchey enough to write that one for nothing I got stopped for doing "excess of 130mph" in a 65 (was doing 150s indicated) and didn't get a reckless charge, but in high school I got one for taking out a mailbox because I just got my license and thought my 94 f150 was a racecar and I understeered a turn and clipped a mailbox lol

Ah, makes sense now... Guess I should have finished it to the end lol... I thought this guy was hauling ass to the hospital not the residence

Makes me scared to rent from them... We are renting a Porsche Panamera from hertz for 355/day to play around in... I'd hate to see charges get fucked up on something that expensive... Might look for a new company
