    Headers? X-pipe?

    I recently bought a 2013 GT/CS to replace a modded '02 GT that was totaled (thanks a lot F350 running a stop sign). I'm wanting to (at some point) modify this thing, but one important note - it will NEVER see the track. It's more of a project to open up the exhaust, remove the cats, CAI...

    Widest Tire For 19x8.5 Gt/cs Wheels?

    I picked up a 2013 GT/CS last weekend (LOVE the car), but would really like to throw on some wider tires when it comes time to replace the current ones. Right now it has 245/45/19, but I'd really prefer something a little wider like 265 or 275. Does anyone have any idea or experience with...

    Quick Wheel Fitment Question (2013 Gt/cs)

    I just picked up a 2013 GT/CS this weekend & wanted to know if there was any reason the FR500 (Ford Racing, not replicas) I had on my 2002 GT wouldn't fit. My 2002 was hit by a truck & totaled a couple weeks ago; settlement included me keeping the wheels/tires, as they were unharmed. It seems to...

    Wrecked Mustang - Quick Question

    So, as you can tell based on the title my 02 Mustang is now wrecked. F350 ran a stop sign and I had no time to do anything. :cry: Now to get to my question: What is considered the "front clip" on these cars? I was told it would need to be replaced & it's been over 10 years since I worked at...

    Rattling Sound When Taking Off In 1st/2nd Gear

    So, I've had a strange rattling sound the past couple months that has been bothering me. I finally pinpointed web it does it & it only occurs when I'm at low speeds & accelerating/taking off in 1st/2nd gear. Once I gain some speed & get going, it goes away. It doesn't do it when the car is...

    Advice On Cleaning A Set Of Heads

    I haven't been on here in quite some time, but I need some advice.. I've had a set of PI heads off my '02 GT (76k miles) that have been sitting around in storage for 5 years (in my closet away from anything that can hurt them). Now, I got them back out and have decided I should probably clean...

    Where to buy authentic Ford Racing FR500 wheels?

    Hey guys/gals, I haven't been on in years but I was wondering if anyone could tell me where I could find the real Ford Racing FR500 18x9" wheels. One of mine got dropped at a tire shop and is cracked, not sure if I can get it fixed or not and I can't seem to find any place that sells the...

    What might this smell be?

    A week ago today, my gf and I were driving around while we were out eating and going to a movie. When I stopped I noticed this AWFUL smell, like something was burning. I couldn't figure out what it was because i'd never smelled it coming from my car before. It's done it everytime i've driven...

    295's on a 9" rim?

    I've turned into a bit of a n00b since I stopped posting so much and got out of the "car thing" for a while, but I can't remember... 275/35/18 will be alright up front on a lowered mustang, right? :shrug: And... Will 295's fit on a 9" wheel? I know 285's fit and looked good, just wasn't...

    Need some opinions!

    Lately i've been thinking about getting a new spoiler for my car to replace the current one I have (Steeda spoiler). I'm really wanting something that will go with the "attitude" of the car, not something outrageous or too crazy. Just something that you would imagine being on a GT with cams...

    Car has problems and I need opinions!

    Alright, here's my problem: Ever since I had my cams installed the first time, my car hasn't been the same. The motor took a crap due to dropping a valve guide (due to improper install) and I had to find a replacement motor really quickly. I got a used '03 GT motor with 34k miles on it...

    Valve Guides

    Are these press-in or can I put them in myself? I need to replace the valve guide for the intake valve on the #1 cylinder. Anyone have a link or can tell me how it's done? Thanks! :SNSign:

    Weeelllll.. No real way to say this other than... I spun a bearing this morning :( I was driving to school early this morning, driving normal.. As I was pulling into the parking lot to park I downshifted.. Then I heard a small tapping sound, exactly like an exhaust leak. When I shut my car...

    Exhaust Rattle..

    Today I decided to fix a couple tiny exhaust leaks on my car.. Well, after I put my SLP X-pipe back on my car (Connected the race pipes to the headers and the x-pipe to the race pipes.. then connected it to the catback) I took it for a drive, no leaks, nothing.. Altho I did notice the car...

    Finally.. Dyno Numbers..

    Well, here are the dyno numbers from my recent dyno tune.. I added SLP LT's, SLP O/R X-pipe, VT Stage 2 N/A cams and manley valvesprings. I dynoed at 288rwhp/303wtq.. That sounds really low, but it was due to the heat. It was 101.5* in the shop and humid as hell. The car wouldn't...

    Yesterday me and a few friends installed SLP LT's on my car! I just wanted to say "Thanks!" to all of those that helped with the install. It was me, Helty, DSG40thGT, Tangerine96GT, Helty's girl, and an LS1 F-body owner that we know from some AR forums.. Also Csledd provided some VERY...
