Joe's Wrecked DTR rebuild thread
This is a great thread.
With $5000, first... drive carefully. Aside from any personal injury, accident damage would immediately destroy your car and budget.
Next... upgrade the radio to something modern; Bluetooth, satellite, speakers, etc. Much of your interfacing with this machine that's nearly your age will be through that double DIN slot. Make it good.
Second... snoop around and you'll find Bluetooth keyless entry. Couple modules, mate your phone, and when you approach the car it will unlock. When you walk away, it locks. Just like a new car. You'll still need the key to start it, but at least your out of the rain when you reach for it.
Speed wise... gears and tune. If you like loud exhaust, change the mufflers. Performance wise, I think the stock exhaust is fine. My Trilogy breathes easily through it. But if you want more rumble, go for it. Skip headers... too much labor costs for the improvement they'd give in street driving. Looser converter? I'd skip that too. 4.10's and a tune. It'll really wake up for minimal cost.
Handling... cut half a coil in the front, drop the rear a smidge. Nearly free. You'll lower the center of gravity and slightly increase the spring rate. If after 3 months you want to cut another car half coil, go for it. But... if there's anything you don't like about cutting the first half, the next half will be much more of a step away from stock, so proceed carefully.
Repair anything that's not perfect... replace the rug, broken trim, etc. The new stuff will feel great.
When it needs brakes, better pads and rotors that suit you.
If there's money left over... bank it!

He's not being rude..Tone does not come across internet forums. He was being funny.." A 16 yr. old telling us old folks" lol..you have not been here
long enough or are old enough to fully get that ..yet.. he was not ribbing you. it would be like telling a pro golfer how to hit the ball when you are 16 and just learning how to play...
nothing wrong with being young..just remember when we were your age (not everyone here) there was no internet, forums, facebook, cell phones, I tunes, xbox4, amazon, ebay etc...
Alot of sarcasm runs thru this site at times..

Gotta get used to the sarcasm and dry humor.
A 16 year old has to get used to sarcasm.
Guspech WILL take some getting used to....
And forgot to mention that the owner before me did a major sound upgrade. Pioneer double din head unit, all new speakers in doors( dont know specs) and theres an amp in the trunk. Sounds great but the stock speaker near the trunk(is it a sub??) always vibrates at louder volumes. Can this be removed easily
Yes, it can be easily removed. They weren't known for their quality.

It's good there are 16yr olds interested in a nice car like the marauder. Do maintenance, keep it clean, Especially the engine compartment

None of this adds up lol. 16yro's first car is the Marauder, but he had a Grand Marquis before that that the air ride blew out on.
... and the timing "belt" + other fun stuff was done by the P.O...
And then the last bit of this is "when I'm 16".
