Thanks for letting me know which oil you used, I'm changing it this weekend already!
Cats are stock, downpipe is aftermarket. I put AMS under hood bushings and under the shifter. All the fluids in trans and diffs where changed to amsoil when the clutch was replaced. I updated the DVD so you can watch movies while driving, but if you ever buy updated maps I think you will lose that.

The car was stupid strong when it was tuned, you will not believe it's the same car after.

Thanks for the info man Now I know why theres an AMS sticker on the back window. And it looks like I'll make a stop by Evo dynamics to get a tune during the summer. I want to pick up a uicp first.

What was the reason for the trade? Dealership said you only went to look and to not actually get a car lol

Had enough of shifting in traffic for 35 min everyday, and after the tune was gone I lost that "LOVE" for it. More power costs twice much with that car you will find out. No tune, the 5.0 will eat it's lunch. The more I told them I didn't want it the more they dropped the price.

I don't know how to explain it, but the mustang fits my driving better. The Evo is good in corners if you are in the gas but having to get off the gas at high speed corners is scarey, but the mustang stays together throttling it's power easy. It's hard to throttle down when in boost but still have that power you need in a curve. Also the one over 130mph run in the Evo was the same, scarey, if you get out the gas it fills like it will come out from underneth you. Seems as if the power is either on or off, not much in the middle. I have been over 140 once in the mustang and it fills safe.

Oh, it has a brand new set of $240 brake pads on it too, that should have been in the glove box also. Get ready to spend your money, lol, but really it is a great car you will enjoy it.

Nope only have the receipts from the first owner. This is my first manual car too so I'm still having fun shifting even in traffic lol.

I've also been seeing a black Evo X in the Houma area. Don't know if he is on here or not..

Just picked up an 03. Living in Shreveport LA.

I'm a co-founder of 318Racing.org as I'm sure some of you have heard of.

Heres the new ride! Pretty excited, already got it in the shop getting a new clutch.
