chessboxer: 2003 Mustang Mach 1

[chessboxer]

Current:

Engine / Performance
DOHC 4.6L N/A 5 Speed
K&N Intake
Flowmasters

Suspension / Wheels
18" FR500s with 285/35/18s in the rear and 265/40/18s up front
Stock suspension for now

Interior / ICE
Interior Upgrade Package
Mach 460 Sound
Some Steeda Billet Accessories

Cosmetic
Shorty black antennae
Mustang letter inserts in rear bumper





Future plans are undecided at the moment, but likely mostly bolt ons, a 100 shot, and 4.10s Will be happy with hitting 11s. I will likely lower it at some point, but would prefer to be faster first. Will invest in slicks or DRs over time also.

My daily is an 08 Prius, so this won't see much action, except for on the weekend.

Holla holla holla.

[JoshM]

Tired of people giving you grief for owning a Prius?

[chessboxer]

haha

Tired of not having a car that is fun to drive!

I'm also deploying this year and wanted something to have fun in before I leave.

looks mint

[MikeW]

Finally got her, eh? Awesome.

That looks very clean.. the wheels look peeeerfect!

I personally have a love-hate relationship with mustangs. Absolutely love the sound and how fast they are with some relatively inexpensive mods. But haaaate driving them.

Music to my ears.

[N9netwoAccord]

Holy Shit dude! I just randomly thought of you the other day and wondered how you were doing/what you were doing/what you were up to, since it has been so long since you have been on here. Should drop an update and stuff, since you are in town.

P.S. Nice ride, but I agree about the headlights.

[Jarrett]

I kind of like the '99-'00 headlights. I think it's just because I have a sincere fascination with '99 Saleen Cobras of which SO FEW were made.

I do love this car though and it's nice to see them in manuals. I'm sure you're aware but the 5-speed Mach 1s got the forged Cobra crank whereas the automatic ones got cast ones. That will certainly come in handy once you're spraying. Someone who works as a tech at the BMW dealership where I'm from has a white Mach 1 with a ProCharger F2 on it. It has to be the most massive supercharger I've ever seen in my life!

good to see your still around.

and have something you can mod.
my brain is stumbled on the idea of what you might come up with since your old car was brilliantly built. this should be phenomenal.

standing by to standby on this side!

[pninja82]

very nice! Id love to own a 'stang as clean as this.

[chessboxer]

looks mint

It is. The interior is especially mint, all of which makes me happy.

Finally got her, eh? Awesome.

Yessir! I waited a week after I drove it first, and ended up saving about $2k because of it, woot.

Thanks, the FR500s are what I would have bought actually, so I saved myself some time and money.

The Machs and Terminator Cobras are honestly the only ones I like from 94-04. I absolutely love driving this, but perhaps that is only because I have been driving a damn Prius and Odyssey for a year!

Music to my ears.

I came.

I was just wondering what happened to you the other day, Glad to hear you're in something funner to drive then... a Prius pffffft!

haha. Live in DC/NOVA, and you would learn to appreciate a fully loaded out Prius. 45 minutes to go 7 miles, twice a day. NOT FUN.

Beautiful. Have fun, and I hope you enjoy your deployment also. Where you headed?

Thanks! Horn of Africa. Getting my command and deployment knocked out all in one, I am excited.

Thanks man! I posted an update in the admin/mod section. I still actually come back here every now and then and just look around, but have been so busy with life that I just don't have the time for forums like I used to.

How is your Si treating you?

Yup. Forged crank, but the pistons and rods are not, unlike the Termi Cobras. Also has the aluminum block. I have done some research and it appears that about 500 whp is possible stock block with bolt ons and a shot. I will likely go that route initially.

Thanks man! I won't likely do much before the deployment, but will save up my money while gone and dump some money into it when I get back.

Thanks! I had to search for a while to find the color combo, acceptable miles, and condition that I wanted. This one fell into my lap. Super excited to have it, and have enjoyed every minute of it since I got it.
