| Nickname: |
P71 Mustang |
| Mileage: |
140000 |
| Engine: |
4.6L, K&N and running a CAT BACK exhaust. It is currently a little bit of a sleeper car. It's a CVPI as well.
PLANS: Accel coil packs, Performance wires, Iridium plugs, moving to a true CAI, Intake spacer,underdrive pullies, and upgraded cooling system. Also looking into a JET chip with a bullydog programmer. |
| Drivetrain: |
Factory 4R70W transmission with factory with limited slip rear end. |
| Notes: |
Only had vehicle about 2 weeks and doing the maintenance that has been neglected. Already gone through all fluids plus A/C Recharge.
Plans include upgrading the KYB shocks, painting the primer black into a gloss black, redoing the white, and moving to the performance tires as well as other handling mods. Goal to push 300 HP but still get 17- 20 MPG from the car.
I have done this with a 2004 Grand Cherokee AWD in the past. It dyno'ed out at 290 HP and still got 20 MPG on the highway, 16 MPG towing a 3500 lb trailer through town. |

Maintenance & Modification Logs
| Date | Type | Mileage | Title / Description | $ Amount | | 06/17/12 | Fuel | 139000 | Replaced Fuel Sender
The shops around town quoted $450- $600 to replace my fuel sender because it comes as a package with the fuel pump. On top of the fact they have to drop the fuel tank.
However I am a country girl and I was able to do the same work for the same time including a break for $86 which was the cost of the replacement fuel pump from a junkyard. I separated the sending unit, pulled the pump out, put the new sender in without dropping the tank and thankfully it WORKS! But I also did an ohmage test before putting in the new sensor. Specs call for 170 ohms full and 11 ohms on empty. | 86.00 | | 06/17/12 | Repair | 139100 | windshield washer
The windshield washer spayers were not working. So without rain I my wipers were on a dry surface.
On my CVPI there was a junction for the tubing under the Master cylinder for the brakes. I took the junction apart to see which side the issue was on. It was on the sprayer side after the test. Reconnected the tubing with a tighter fitting and everything worked fine. What might have happened is that the test cleared out a blockage in the system. | 0.00 | | Total | 86.00 |
