Hello from overseas
 

Hi,

I joined the forum in 2014 when I already had a 2003 GT DSG...
http://www.mach1registry.org/forums/....php?p=1629005
...and I was looking for a '03 or '04 Mach I.

Thanks to this forum I found the right Mach I for me: a 2003 DSG with 9K I bought earlier this year from a forum member, johnski.

It took me several months to have it legally authorized for Europe but it's now done and I'm very happy to be an official Mach I owner.

This Mustang is fantastic!

Thanks for this forum which helped a lot!

You're right, she is almost stock. I will make a few reversible changes which will keep me busy.

She has the Cobra tail lights to comply w/ the local need of amber turn signals

Some minor cosmetics changes already done:
- Mach 1 billet fuel door (Dupont Performance)
- Cobra Jet shaker emblems
- Mach 1 floor mats (Alterum)
- Genuine mechanical Pony emblem
- AFS 17 x 9 rims (slightly larger than stock, I had them from my GT) with Custom wheel caps (pony without tribar)

Todo:
- Mach 1 door still plates
- Brushed black bumpers insert letters
- Engine compartment billet caps dress-up
- Install the Visus louver and the DSG cobra foldable mirrors I removed from my GT (I had to buy a 94-04 Mustang MRT Replacement Louver Hardware Kit)
- Install a rear black billet license plate grille to make the local plate look less... squarish
- Install a front bracket plate holder from ccmustangbrackets to accomodate with the local wider front plates
- Brake calipers in red and black
- Install an electric radio antenna and the Mach 460 aux input FRDN-AUX
- Upgrade the front and rear tweeters hp with Powerbass S275-CH (in the stock housing)
- Some parking cameras (the ones with the "bird view" of the car)

She came with Flowmaster exhaust which had a little droning at 70mph - fixed now thanks to short 2 disks Carchemistry inserts. She sounds awsome.

And an engine upgrade to come:
- 30 lbs./hr. injectors upgrade
- eFlexFuel E85 adapter (built in Finland, which is installed on many Mustangs in Europe considering E85 is half the price of gas)
- SCT X4 reprog to accomodate the injectors changes and be able to run the Mach at top performance wether she runs on E85, premium, or a mix.

I also have a Ford Performance aluminium driveshaft I keep for installing at next oil change.
