Welcome Mach 1 owners

[Rick@Amazon]

Great to see the Mach 1 guys have there own forum! Thanks SVT. We really enjoy working on the Mach 1s because they respond very well to simple mods. If you guys are interested I will get some packages deals together and post them.

I will post some good tech up to help you guys do your mods too.

very interested in package deals for the mach1.

We are suffering from a shortage of GOOD information right now. No one is 100% sure what headers fit (pre 03 or 03 Cobra?).. if its the 03 Cobra.. whats available... can we use 01 Cobra parts ?.. 99+ GT parts ?.

and we are in dire need of a REAL intake for this thing.. throttle body down.. that makes use of the shaker... the PHP (Pauls High Performance) kit is ok.. but his prices are rediculous and its not a sealed pressurising system.. i'd love to see something that seals and pressurizes as the airspeed gets up there.

other than that.. packages of products that are known to work on the car would be great..

My wife's Azure Blue '03 Mach 1 needs to get lowered a little bit. maybe a true 1" up front and 1" in the rear. (so a reg. GT kit would maybe be a .50" drop since the Mach is already lower from the start.

Any thoughts? just want to get rid of the 4x4 look and improve handling.

some guys have had great sucess with the Steeda springs.. or the MRT racing springs.. both drop about that much.. and are very similar to stock in ride height.

Thanks for the welcome!

I hear ya Zate. I'm putting an H-pipe from a '98 Cobra on my car this week. I think the only difference is the location of the bungs for the O2's. I hope that's all anyway, don't want to get pissed off if it doesn't fit.

Rick, did Erin get everything fixed on her car ok? I know hers got hit like 1 week after mine did.

She must of made it sound bad, LOL
The bumper cover had a slight impression from anothe cars license plate bracket. Got a new bumper cover and we swapped it out on our own after body shop painted it.

Nah, she said pretty much the same thing. It just sucks to have a brand new car hit by someone not paying attention, whether it's $500 in damages or $3500.

Glad all is OK though.

I posted dyno numbers after the chip and Flowmasters cat back system.
They are on the Mach1 registry. I have yet to get her backon the dyno after the headers and x- pipe. My current numbers are 300 rwhp w/ 312 ftlbs of tourque.
