Longtime VQ fan, new owner. I've played with most of the G's, 350's and 370's. I was strictly Mopar for years (Ram, Charger, Challenger), then I went back to my 1st brand in 2015 (Ford). I grabbed a Mustang GT to play with, but the thought of something VQ powered never left me. Fast forward...to now....a guy sold me his 2005 SE for $600. It needed bank 2 cat, up stream bank 2 sensor, and a timing chain tensioner & guide. Everything else on the car....solid. I replaced all 3 cats and both upstream sensors. I bought all parts to replace the tensioner and guide (haven't tackled the install yet). I also grabbed a CAI and lowering springs (the front end was UNGODLY tall), and I painted the engine covers (I will be doing the bay as well). I scored a set of 18's for $50 that I refinished and painted gloss black (I'm waiting on my tires). I have a DNA exhaust that's going on too. All in all, I don't have $2500 in this car, but it runs strong, rides well and looks nice (IMO). I'll try to post some pics periodically.

2 of my babies. This is after installing the lowering springs (front only). I have the rears too, but not sure if I'll use them. The rear already sits low.
