Bought some parts...

[Xodus989]

Hopefully will help out with my gas mileage... lol.

OEM Alternator (Mine is bad)
Fuel Filter
Air Filter
Spark Plugs

Total, about 310 bucks... minus about 32 for core. Meh, aha

lol people dont buy mustangs for gas mileage.

Alternator and Air Filter are done... Did it all by myself! aha. I'm proud, stfu. I've never done anything TOTALLY by myself. I took the 2 front bolts for the alternator out almost all the way, before I realized, the alternator rests on them, and doesn't thread onto them, and the C mount on top of it, could just be taken totally off, easily, and those 2 loosened to remove it... -.- Whatever! aha But I learned more about it, and how to use a belt tensioner tool, and what a serpentine belt is, and the difference between that and a V belt! So yeah, I am a newbie at this for the most part. But I'm learning :]

220 or so for alt, + 32 core fee... And tax... which is about 18 or 19.

 

[Lordgufi]

wow... i really hope mine doesn't die... and if it does i'll probably just hit a JY for one... 220 is insane. the one for my talon or fiero was only 50 bucks =(

i remember when i had my 95 GT vert. loved the car. car was a pos, but i learned alot working on it myself, as far as taking off and cleaning the upper and lower intake manifold, to changing the wheel bearings, and changing a ball joint(pita). theres a story behind the ball joint but i wont bore you. working on cars yourself lets you know more about what you drive and lets you learn how everything works. not to mention labor is a few cus words cheaper then moneys.:rock:
