YK86

I took some pics of my other car yesterday since the weather was okay. It's a 99 Mustang GT convertible, 5 speed, fully loaded with all possible options (traction control, leather, Mach 460 CD/cass. stereo, cruise, keyless entry), 35,000 miles (56,000kms), and 4 year extended warranty.
I bought it 2 months ago from a dealer my friend had bought his 01 Cobra from and they gave me a great price (few thousand less than any other dealer) and with low financing rates, the monthly payments worked out to something affordable. I thought long and hard about buying Mike's (89SEI) B20 turbo but decided it was better off to keep the Accord as is and use the money for a down payment. Keeping the 86 was a huge must and the 88 ended up going to my GF (she loves it by the way). So far, the mods I did are:
Sprint springs (2" drop)
offset polyurethane rack bushings
shortened stabilizer links with polyurethane bushings
shortened pinion snubber
Hurst short throw shifter
Flowmaster 2.5" Force II (3 chamber) catback exhaust
K&N filter with silencer removed
2001+ headlights (2001+ are smoked)
2001+ GT hood scoop
moved the spoiler back (sounds weird but makes it look much better)
I got some really good deals on a lot of the stuff which is why I was lucky enough to be able to buy all this in such a short time. In the near future, I'll be adding a 10" or 12" sub to the Mach 460 to beef it up, Steeda underdrive pulleys, and maybe some subframe connectors. A Saleen/CDC light bar and some Saleen or Roush style chrome rims would be sweet but they are too expensive for me to even think about it right now. Funny thing is though, I still look at and drive my Accord with a big smile (is that creepy???) so I know I really can't part with it.
