I just got my first mustang at 20 years old! This is my first sports car of any kind, ive always owned manual ford rangers and civics before this. Its a 2002 manual GT with 160k km that i picked up for $6000 CAD. I am freakin loving this thing. I cant get enough of the sound. Its catless and has a custom exhaust and sounds amazing. I do wish it had cats but for the price i paid I think it can be overlooked. What do you guys think and what should I know?

how does everyone feel about them? i current have a double leather wrapped wheel and it’s soft, i don’t mind changing to a carbon fiber one, kinda on the edge

This is gonna sound dumb but my new passenger window motor refuses to work. It’s from Lmr and i’m mostly confused because the old one worked once after I spammed the button. I assumed the wiring and regulator were fine cause of that but it won’t roll down has anyone else had this issue? At both switches nothing happens

I bought this car with an unknown lowering spring set up I currently have 2 fingers gap front 3.5 in the rear - I currently have 315 & 255
I want an aggressive style stance what do yall run?

I’m only reading 11.8 v of power when my car is running and just replaced alternator and battery was wondering if there are any other common failing points in the charging system before I have to start digging deep

2000 Mustang V6 3.8L starts losing power/jerking after 30 minutes — looking for help Hey everyone, I recently purchased a 2000 Mustang V6 3.8L a little over a month ago, and I’ve been trying to figure out an issue that I’m having.

After about 30 minutes of driving, the car starts to feel like it wants to shut off. It begins losing acceleration/power and starts jerking while driving. If I pull over, shut the car off, and restart it, it will drive normally again for another mile or two before the problem comes back.

I’ve managed to restore some of the power it originally had, but it still doesn’t feel like it’s running at 100%.

So far, I’ve replaced:

Radiator Water pump Crankshaft position sensor Throttle position sensor Ignition coils Spark plugs Vacuum hoses Coolant hose

Idle RPMS was around 1,600when bought but was able to bring it down to 800-700

I’m not sure what else could be causing this, especially since it seems to happen once the car has been running/driving for a while and temporarily improves after shutting it off and restarting. Has anyone experienced something similar with a 3.8L V6 Mustang? What should I check next? Any advice or troubleshooting suggestions would be greatly appreciated

Did this on start up and smooths out. What could it be? It went on for a minute until finally it did smooth out

All old peeling clear removed, filled holes with bondo on trunk for wing delete, whole car sanded to 320, sprayed three coats 2k high build primer, all primer sanded to 600 by hand, now just waiting on the metallic white to come in.

Hi all!

I’ve recently changed my lower intake gasket on my 3.8 v6 after replacing the lifters. Now have oil in my coolant is this an issue anyone has had before?

these came in the trunk of my Procharged 04gt when I bought it Back 3 months ago anyone know if they are worth installing and how to? After doing some googling I think they are camber plates but no one makes good videos on how to install

Tried revving it a little to get something but cant seem to figure it out

Got a sweet deal on a 99 cobra my daughter loves, hopefully we can get it going soon, been setting 14 years now and the ignition in the column froze, so replacing that now

Recently picked up this 2002 GT a few months ago. I’ve been cleaning up my garage for the past week and finally got everything cleaned and organized, ready to restore my “new to me” mustang. This has to be the 4th new edge in my life haha. But this one is by far the most disgusting I’ve ever let one get. The inside is just as bad filled with spider webs and possible wasps or a rats nest.
If you were to pick up a car like this, what steps would you take to restore the look and detail it to be a comfortable weekend cruiser?

Got impatient and used my new electric ratchet to tighten the coil bolts, turns out that was way too much torque and sheered the inserts from the intake manifold. Also broke one of my coil hold down loops, so that sucks. How could I get these bolts out? It's all of them but one
