Pics of my mustang [finally] [56k warning]

pr0digal jenius · Jun 13, 2006, 03:21 AM

Well, finally got her waxed and got the camera from mom and found a blank disc to use.

It's dark so I used a flash, I'll get some sunny pictures on my day off thursday.

Wonder who'd win that face off

[2004 Mustang vs. a mid 1960's Triumph TR4A]

Razgriz · Jun 13, 2006, 03:22 AM

Sexy, leather?

pr0digal jenius · Jun 13, 2006, 03:27 AM

of course!

leather, power locks, windows, driver seat, trunk release, 5 speed manual, 460 watt 6 disc in dash stereo

Razgriz · Jun 13, 2006, 03:29 AM

nicely done my friend

PoopyTheJ · Jun 13, 2006, 03:46 AM

Nice

niceguyrichy · Jun 13, 2006, 03:56 AM

needs bigger rims, those arches looking a bit empty

nice ride though pj. gotta ask who's is the triumph?

riles9262 · Jun 13, 2006, 04:20 AM

I like your car. Good on you for getting a v8 model and a standard. I bet it puts you back in your seat when you hit the gas.

pr0digal jenius · Jun 13, 2006, 04:23 AM

that it does riles...and richy...it's my mom's triumph....mind you it currently isn't "mobile" due to needing a new fuel delivery system, battery, gaskets/seals, and TONS of cosmetic work

as for the rims looking small...yea...they do.....but a new set with good Z rated tires is a few grand [$3400 for the roush 18" rims....and honestly the 19 inchers fit best], so I'm in no hurry.....still hafta get the windows tinted and the exhaust done, as well as the "bolt on performance" mods, like cold air and pulley sets, and ECU priogramming before i bother with rims and body kits *cough* roush *cough*

Customgamer1 · Jun 13, 2006, 04:25 AM

VERY NICE!!!!!!! Now I only wish I had the V8 lol o well. Maybe down the road when I get a real job

I love that color btw!

pr0digal jenius · Jun 13, 2006, 04:28 AM

yea....i sell fords....and was driving a honda...i figured that alone was a good excuse to buy it

and yes, we had a red one with only 17,000 miles and TCS, but i like how the grey matches the wheels

Customgamer1 · Jun 13, 2006, 04:58 AM

So you have 2 cars now? Is that a Honda I see to? Or is that someone elses?

pr0digal jenius · Jun 13, 2006, 06:05 AM

that's mom's hybrid civic. i sold mine

Sandok · Jun 13, 2006, 06:25 AM

I don't really like the look of that mustang (the latest is sexy though) but hell it's a good ride! The arches seem empty since the car seems quite high but damn, your a lucky guy

Drakon · Jun 13, 2006, 08:02 AM

Nice car, PJ

I myself am not really fond of the '99 to '04 body style; I'm more into the late '60s and '89 - '93 fox body styling

Customgamer1 · Jun 13, 2006, 07:28 PM

See Drakon I I like the new body style! Well both the 99+ and the 05+. I just think they look sweet!

Drakon · Jun 13, 2006, 07:50 PM

We'll that's the beauty of Mustangs; there's a style for everybody

pr0digal jenius · Jun 14, 2006, 05:44 AM

the 05/06 is ok....it has a blindspot big enough to hide a small tank in behind the passenger door and you can't see over the hood very well at all.....

i chose this over an 05, actually

Customgamer1 · Jun 14, 2006, 07:19 AM

Well correct me if I am wrong but I think your mustang is faster than the 05/06 right?

pr0digal jenius · Jun 15, 2006, 04:25 AM

~20 HP more

Customgamer1 · Jun 15, 2006, 04:29 AM

20 hp more on your car?

BWX · Jun 16, 2006, 11:03 AM

Those are factory tires and rims? Man it looks all jacked up in the air for some reason.

Definitely could use bigger wheels I guess. maybe it is just because of the flash- at night... makes the inside of the wheel wells brighter than usual and stand out or something.

Customgamer1 · Jun 16, 2006, 05:07 PM

BWX I see your point! Now it does look wierd.

pr0digal jenius · Jun 20, 2006, 03:44 AM

no...it's sittin on 17's and 19's are what it takes to fill the well

anyways...daytime pics as promised:

niceguyrichy · Jun 20, 2006, 04:11 AM

looks like it's about to eat the triumph in that last pic

pr0digal jenius · Jun 20, 2006, 04:25 AM

haha....a 4.6L V8 that runs, or a dual-carbeurated I4 that's needs a new fuel pump/delivery system?

Which will win......

CDsDontBurn · Jun 20, 2006, 04:35 AM

nice ride there PJ

. looks better than mine

i too am in support getting the new wheels, as those ones currently look too small IMO.

my favorite part of your 'stang is the hood

don't get me wrong, i love those wheels. it's just like how everybody else is saying, they're too small for the car. the same wheels in a larger version (like 19in) would be better suitable for the car.

pr0digal jenius · Jun 20, 2006, 07:37 AM

wheels will be swapped out in due time.....but, well, at $215 per wheel, plus tires, plus shipping on the wheels.....yea...ain't goin there for quite some time

CDsDontBurn · Jun 20, 2006, 07:40 AM

lol.....when i replaced the rear tires for my 8, that ran me a pretty penny of $620 installed.....well, it would have been $480, but i opted to go w/the lifetime alignment thing, so it "should" have paid itself off in alighnments, but seeing that my 8 is gone....that idea went down the drain
