Re: OS Cars Thread

Nuts huh?

The level of engineering for that is crazy, and yet it can still be used as a daily driver.

Re: OS Cars Thread

Just bought a 94 Mustang GT the other day. Spent the weekend washing it inside and out. Also waxed it. Looks like a beauty now. Car runs fantastic, body is in great shape, and it only has 108k miles on it. Someone put a new set of tires and rims on it. Also a new JVC CD deck. I couldn't turn it down.

Spoiler

It is also a convertible though. And I will be driving it with the top down here in Florida. IF that makes me a little bit feminine like a lot of people say about Mustang convertibles, then so be it! I think that 5.0L v8 makes it a bit more manly, no?

I do prefer hard tops though, but oh well..

No pictures? For Shame.

A buddy of mine had one. It was beastly. I didn't like the look of it, but it was carrying some power. Reminded me too much of a Hyundai Tiburon.

I think Pontiac should have tried to style it more like the Judge. It had the modern day version under the hood, but that's where the comparisons ended.

Didn't the new GTO's have upwards 390 HP out of the factory?

Same for me. A good friend had an 04 Magna charged 5.7, 6 speed. Car was a blast to ride in, especially on the interstate. It was very comfy in the front(I'm 6'1"), and tolerable in the back, for a sporty coupe. We took a trip to Memphis with 3 full grown men, and it wasn't that bad. GM always had the moniker for plasticy finishes. But as good as the car ran and drove, I never really noticed the dash and door finishes.

And you can find then on LS1tech or LS1GTO.com for less than $13k with bolt ons or more now. And with the luxury that the car offered to match the performance, that's a steal. Only thing is GTO drivers tend to be a little..... weird. No offense to anybody. Lol.

Yeah I have a '10 drop and heard a few (very few) guys say it. But man women all want to ride lol. I rarely drop it but its such a fun drive especially with a passenger

Re: OS Cars Thread

Ill upload one of the back too.


Didn't take one of the interior, if you guys want I'll take one of that too, but it's straight stock aside from the JVC CD deck. It's a 94 so nothing fancy either. Does have all leather seats(white) except the two front seats have seat covers on them because they're torn up pretty bad. I'm going to order some new seats at some point though.

My only real complaint about the car is the color. Not a huge fan of the red or the white convertible top. It's OK. I can live with it, but if the car proves to be durable and I can save some money for it I'm thinking about getting it repainted and put a different color top on there(most likely all black). Don't know if it's worth the money though. That stuff is pretty expensive to do. We'll see.

Re: OS Cars Thread

I actually like that red with the white top.

It's not bad. Just not my style. I love the car either way though.

Re: OS Cars Thread

OEM SVT rims?

Clean 5.0 man. I really like the color, but agree it would be nicer with a black top.

Definitely not SVT's. They're pretty cheap rims I think.

As far as the black top, I'm going to get one eventually. Found one brand new for like $180. The pricing for those isn't as bad as I thought. I'm going to stick with the red/maroon color though. Paint is in great shape so no reason for me to go repainting it. Way too much money to get a good paint job these days.

Anyway.. I'm hoping someone on here has some experience with ECU chips. My car came with a Moates chip installed. I knew right when I drove it for the first time someone did some tuning to it. Problem is I don't think they did it right. A few issues. My car is an auto and the shifting is really messed up. I have to get up to 50mph just for it to kick into 4th. Sometimes when I switch into reverse or drive the car will die. Also it has surged on me on several occasions. As in.. I'll put it in drive and if I let it idle it'll go up to 1500 rpm and drop down to like 500. Over and over.

Today I took the chip out and now it runs fine. No idle issues and the shifting is back to normal. So obviously that was my issue. My question is how do you tune those chips?? Is it really necessary for me to take it to a tuning shop or something? I guess I could run it without the chip, but as long as I have it I might as well use it.

Also exactly how should you tune/program these chips? I'm a noob when it comes to that stuff.

Any help is appreciated.
