Newbie to Bonneville-Ville
 
Hello,
I just picked up a 60,000 mile 1995 SLE, white w/grey leather...so far I love it. Very spunky yet cushy ride...

Any suggestions on light performance mods to wake the old girl up a little?
Not looking for a race car...just maybe some exhaust and air intake ideas...do these cars resopond well to mods? Naturally aspirated 3800 engine.

Looks like a very nicely set up and informative message board you all have here...

I'm a 12+ year Mustang 5.0 veteran...
From 10 second street strip cars, to magazine feature cars, to a nice 4 door Bonnie...lol...
Finally decided to grow up.....just a little anyway ;)

Just wanted to say hey...

Bob

92-00 Civic intake pipe, K&N RX-4750 or E-1009, Magnaflow F-Body Muff, 180* Stant.


Clean the TB, Flush the Rad, Consider flushing the trans.


That'll do.

1993 SLE 06-22-2005 09:49 PM

great, welcome to the SLE family.......you will love the car.........with an rice pipe and exhaust will really make the car sing, watch the coolent level tho....the upper intake sometimes fail on the Series II, but with 60K you should be fine

and welcome again...SLE brother

Would I want to adapt a dual outlet muffler?

According to the reciepts, the coolant was just flushed and filled...I hope to service the transmission in the next few weeks though, (just got the car a few hours ago, lol)
One thing I did see on the reciepts that impresed me...it's had synthetic oil for most of it's life...Thanks for the tips so far... :D

Yes. In and out on drivers' side, out on pass side. You'll be calling people to come over and listen to it.

Right now my 13 year old son and his buddy's are ticked off...they said this car's too quiet...they're all used to the loud Mustangs that are no more...hehe...
