Hello everyone, my name is Adam. Im obviously new to the site and just bought a Mustang today. I previously owned a Honda civic si with a swapped out type r motor so on and so forth. Nice car but I decided to go Domestic and I think I made the right choice... here is a pic of the ride:

2004 40th Anniversary Mustang GT

LOL i switched from an R33 Twin Turbo Skyline GT-R HKS version I had built over several long years working from like 16-18 for a guy, and then I came to my Foxbody, which still has body Damage but I love it more even so.

You'll find parts a whole lot cheaper and easier to find too, Avoid MAC parts, and def spend sometime looking into Steeda, Maximum Motorsports, or Griggs for preparing your ride for power should you choose to.

Hellion and Kennebell are the two big names for forced induction to keep on your mind.

Otherwise welcome!

Thanks everyone, I am happy, Ive been around domestics all my life even though I had the SI. My dad built a 1979 Ford Truck too when I was young. Always did like domestics, now I can represent it though lol Wow I see alot of people switched up to mustangs too besides me.

And thanks for the info ravenforbidden (http://www.mustangforums.com/showProfile.asp?memid=78868).So farwhatI have planned isFlowmaster 40 series exhaust (also considering Borla, buttheir pretty expensive), Hurts short throw, and intake ( not sure which one yet). Still want to do my research and get it done right, me and my father work on motors together so we'll bedoin installation ourselves. Just want to make sureI get the right parts and power adders.

thanks alot Batman, definatly will do that. if you look at the pics of my cobra, you can see a little bit of my integra (its the orange car in the way back) anyways that GT is a sick rideand make sure you take care of your car too. i like the blue paint and your car is as clean as a hospital room.
