My girlfreind just got a Dark Shadow Grey 03 v6 auto with 57,xxx miles on it. Im going to be doing all the fixing, modding, and maintenance on it so i consider myself a half sixer owner now lol. I'm familiar with pretty much all years of mustangs but any specific problems or things to look out for with the 3.8L? The only mods i plan on doing to the motor itself is probably an intake or K&N filter (she dosnt need anything fast just a healthy running car). Its mostly going to be exterior stuff like wheels, mach 1 chin spoiler and grill delete and so on :bigthumbsup

And yes, that is her driveway :D my 88, her brothers yellow 02 v6, her sisters black 03 pony package v6, and her 03 lol

Thats a solid stable
Passenger side manifold sometimes cracks right in front of collector due to the A/C dripping on it

Somewhere around 100K-120K miles the cam position synchronizer will start locking up and give you trouble and eventually quit working altogether

Thats some of the common stuff, not much really happens if you keep up with matinence on these cars, they are good motors really, good luck with her (the car lol)

I can here a very very small exhaust leak so ill have to check the manifold out sometime. And that's right on with the cam synchronizer, her sisters car is at around 112,000 miles and just had to get that replaced a couple months ago. And it seems like the older guy she got it from kept up on the oil changes and maintenance so it should last pretty long :bigthumbsup

  • 1 12in Alpine Type-S
  • Small ported custom box
  • Rockford Fosgate Punch 6x8s all around
  • Underglow on the floorboards
  • Tint
  • Mach 1 grill delete
  • Mach 1 chin spoiler
  • Rear decklid blackout
  • Black bumper inserts
  • Shorty antenna
  • 6,000K HIDs
  • Front and back black light covers
  • These wheels- http://www.latemodelrestoration.com/item/WTK-N1007SAA/1994-04-Mustang-Anthracite-Bullitt-Wheel-Nitto-Tire-Kit-17X9
  • Lowering springs for that GT look
