Yeah, I got one recently, and originally, they told me it was the starter, but the actuator pin had slipped out, which is what was actually causing it to not start. Did not realize this until I got it home and started tinkering with it over the next few days

I have a 1998 mustang, it sounds awesome it's only a 3.8l . Flowmaster 40 mufflers. I also had to have a computer for the ac, it now works, I also have learned how to replace my window regulators you also have to know how to adjust the window brackets so that the window doesn't do what yours is I just saw on your video.

im looking at a 06 wrx it looks mint in terms of body rust and how well its taken care of and maintained. only concern for me is it has 200k km on original engine. how long do these engines go for if properly taken care of and not beat on?
@OrangeManWithThePlan7 ай бұрын
200k to 250k, 300k if driven well. If he maintains the car well then you can assume the engine might last a bit longer..

Looking at a 2004 , that the guy selling says turns on and all but needs a new clutch .. and has engine code for 02 sensor … they are asking 3k . Haven’t gone in person this video helped a lot , but think for 3k it’ll be worth it ? It’s at 175k miles. I’m not looking to build or mod just wanted a temporary car that’s AWD and manual . I’d go for a truck but those things are so expensive Rn. I’m actually a Honda guy… and after my Honda reliability experiences , I’m paranoid to buy anything without the Honda badge lol

One BIG thing to look out for when looking at a 1994-2004 Mustang Is the front frame rails, the pinch welds, and the K member (the support that goes under the engine) These cars are still based on the Fox platform, which is one of the worst designs Ford ever came up with. Even though it is a unibody car, most unibody cars do have heavy steel frame rails welded to the floor pans front to rear. The Fox platform does not. And the short frame rails it does have are made out of basically the same thin metal as the body. So is the K member. There are basically no jacking or lift points on these cars that won't cause a fair amount of damage other than the rear axle and front control arms. I have seen so many of these cars with the short front frame rails, pinch welds, and K members smashed in. These cars flex like a wet noodle. You can jack up one front wheel off the ground by jacking from under the control arm, and it will twist the body so much the doors won't open and close. If you find one that doesn't have significant undercarriage damage, you can have subframe connectors welded in, and I highly recommend it. Ford should have built them that way to begin with. On the interior, the biggest issue is the power window, door lock, and mirror switches. If you are buying a car this old, you can be pretty sure those switches have been replaced several times. The plastic panels that the switches attach to the doors with using small plastic tabs also break very easily. Under the hood, on the 4.6L engine the spark plug threads are prone to stripping, and the plastic intake manifolds, especially pre 2001, are prone to cracking, causing coolant leaks. On the 3.8L V6, the head gaskets are prone to failure, because that engine uses a cast iron block with aluminum heads, and when heated, cast iron and aluminum expand at different rates, putting a lot of stress on the head gaskets. There are newer aftermarket gaskets that work a lot better, but it's an expensive job. On V6 automatic models, the pin that the cruise control cable attaches to on the throttle body tends to break off. You cannot buy new or rebuilt stock throttle bodies for these engines, and aftermarket "performance" ones are not a perfect fit. On the exterior, obviously look out for paint mismatch. Any paint mismatch on metal parts means a part has been repainted. And it can be very difficult to tell just how serious any accident damage was. It might not be a big deal, or the whole car may have been totaled. Expect the clear plastic headlight covers to be so badly hazed that very little light can actually get through them. They can be polished, depending on how bad they are. Otherwise they will have to be replaced. On convertibles, if it still has the original top, it will likely be in really bad condition. They have a glass back window, and the weight of the glass tends to rip out the seams holding it in place. New tops are NOT cheap.

Hey brother amazing video you got yourself a new subscriber, Was wondering what if the car has about 130k miles on it and looks stock but might’ve been Beaten on in the past Is it gonna be safe if it passes all these checks,the engine seems to sound good and I take care of it (proper maintenance and no modding) Would I run into major breakdowns in the future?
@ArkArmy90 Жыл бұрын
How is the reliability on these compared to honda and toyota ?
@wootdoo Жыл бұрын
It's 1 of 2 ways. If you don't ride them hard and dog them out then as long as you stay on top of maintenance and allow the oil to warm up before driving, make sure coolant and oil stays where it should and if you get spark knock address it asap. If you want to mod them and ride them hard then the list is more complicated. 5 speed transmissions in these are weak, you want the 6 speed. As you increase power you need supporting mods. And you must must must have them tuned by a reputable tuner. If you throw a bigger turbo, fmic, larger injectors, new exhaust new header new up pipe any or all of that, even a turbo inlet, you need it tuned. A Cobb accessport will only make it safe to drive long enough to get to a tuner imo. If you aren't flush with funds don't get a subie if you want to go fast
