1996 Ford Mustang LX review from North America
"For a V6, my car not only looks fast, but is fast!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
On hard acceleration to pass 3 transport trucks, I blew out the block heater (due to improper installation by the previous owner).
I also suspect the hose from the heater may have cracked at the same time, since I have a slow leak of coolant. Other than this, nothing!!
General comments?
Upgraded to 16 inch GT rims (225/50 on the front, and 245/50 on the rear).
K&N filter, dual exhaust.
Also installed fog lights, head light covers, and a Cobra wing.
JVC stereo head unit with 12 disc changer in trunk, and 2 ten inch Sony X-plode subs with a ported Bandpass Box.
Plan to remove the air silencer, add better speakers, plugs, and a supercharger.
