Hey guys I thought I would throw up an intro thread. My name is Ben, I'm from Texas. I just recently(3days ago) bought my first mustang. It's a black with tan interior 98 Cobra. It needs some work but I hope one day it can look as good as some of the Cobras you guys have.

Welcome to SVTP! Any mods? What work does it need?

 

[ProbieG]

Flowmaster weld ins (still catted).,No motor mods all stock, stock gears stock wheels. It has a minor rear main seal leak, the previous owner also did an egr delete. It's not tuned for it so it has a check engine light, I'll either tune or stick the assembly back in. Eventually it will get painted.

Forgot it also has a steeda tri ax shifter

Welcome to the forum, good looking Cobra. Besides paint, do you have any plans?

Welcome, Ben. I'm Kyle. Do 4:30's.

3.73's are for pushrod cars.

It's a daily. I am gonna be driving highway. I'm a 19 year old trying to pay my way through fire school lol

Welcome Ben, like they said good people on here. Also, nice ride.. Makes me want to put my stock wheels back on :rockon:

Don't do 3.73s. 4.10s at minimum you will enjoy alot more and I would know I've had both. But I'm not trying to make this into another gear tread :bash:

 

[ProbieG]

I dig the stock wheels.

 

[Noreast]

Welcome looks great

 

[DVJ38]

Welcome Ben. Ya I'd keep those wheels. Just lower it on some spacers and be set. Search these forums for tons of info on these cars!

 

[Sn8kebitten]

I'm also 19 lol and I did 4.10s and haven't regretted it. The loss in gas mileage from going to 4.10s from stock 3.27s is about as noticeable as the seat of the pants feel from 3.27s to 3.73s (which isn't much lol)

welcome!

go 4.30s. I just did it, not that bad, you're looking at 2500 rpm at 70 mph. Ill calculate my mileage as soon as my speedo is correct

WELCOME!!
-You have a beautiful 1st Mustang, congratulations on that. Have fun!

 

[redrocket16]

Welcome and 4.10's are the only route to go. I swapped in an IRS which has the stock 3.55 and I already want more gear but can't bring myself to do it.

What part of Texas are you from?

 

[NVRL8TE]

I'm going 4.56's with zero fear. And I drive my car more than anyone I know.
