    Suspension Mod Hurting Anything?

    Hey all! It's been a while since I have been on the boards as it's been a busy Summer. Anyway, earlier this year, I had my 1998GT lowered with springs. It was nothing radical, just 1 1/2" in rear and around 1" in front. I also had KB weld-in subframe connectors (full length) installed. It...

    Stalling After Microtuner in 1998 GT Vert

    Hey all! I finally got my 1998 GT vert tuned with the microtuner after battling the "Type 8" error code. Right after I took the car out, I noticed it was struggling to keep above 500 rpms at idle. The computer seems to be fighting it, but it did stall a couple of times when coming to a...

    Superchips Error "Type 8"?

    Hello all! I tried to tune my 1998 GT vert today with my new Superchips Microtuner and I got an error message. The tuner said it had a "Type 8" error and to call Superchips. I am way bummed as it is Sunday and I really wanted to get it retuned today. Does anyone know what this error code...

    Is Pacesetter Exhaust Junk?

    Hey guys. A while back I made a mistake by pulling the trigger on ebay before doing my research (sort of). I purchased a dual exhaust catback Pacesetter exhaust and then decided to go with Flowmaster. So, my question now is whether or not the Pacesetter is a piece of junk or not. I should...

    H-Pipe, Crossovers, Etc. for 1998 Vert?

    I am not quite sure of the difference in all of the exhaust components of my 1998 GT convertible. I have done the "standard" mod of FM catbacks. I am considering a crossover or h-pipe, and do not know the differences in them. I understand that the car has 6 catalytics and, since VA is an...

    Need Help Installing Clear Corners!

    Due to a recent move, I have lost my shop manual (ok, we all know nobody reads directions anyway). In any event, I have recently purchased clear corner lights for my 1998 vert and I am wondering if there is anywhere on the web I can find installation instructions. Or, does anyone have any...

    Diablo Or Superchips For 1996-1998 GT (Specifically)!

    Hey guys! I am not looking to debate which tuner is "better" on paper. I am looking for input from members that have or have used either of these programmers and have any feedback (positive or negative) about them. I have a few mods, and will probably be doing the Accufab and throttle body...

    White Faced Gauges Revisited!

    Hello! I know there was a recent post here about white faced gauges, and thought I would see if anyone could expand on it. More specifically, does anyone have the EL (electroluminescent) powered "reverse" gauges? I saw a couple on ebay and thought they looked decent. I even saw some that...

    Where Can I Get Clear Cornering Lights?

    Where is a good online or catalog store for ordering cosmetic parts such as clear cornering lights for my 1998 vert? I am also considering a show/light bar. Where can I get one of those? Thanks!

    What Should I Do For Suspension Next?

    Hey all. I just had my 98 vert in the shop and had the gears, KB subframes and Steeda Sport Springs installed. I am very happy with the gears, but the car is riding very rigid now. It looks great, but i need to get off this pogo stick. What should I install next? Do I need new shocks and...

    What Is "Break In" Period For New Gears?

    Hey! Just had my 3.73's installed around 100 miles ago. When I picked up the car, the mechanic told me to let it break in for 500 miles. What does that mean? Is there a certain speed or rpm's I should not exceed while they are breaking in? He told me not to stay at the same speed for...

    How Much HP Should I Really Have On 98 GT?

    Hey guys. I have only made a few mods to my 1998 GT convertible including FM catbacks and K&N FIPK. Realistically speaking, how much rph should I have? I have never had the car on a dyno, and am wondering what the real amount should be. Also, I am considering an Accufab plenum and throttle...

    Should I Buy CC Plates After Spring Installation?

    Hey all! A week ago, before going on vacation, I finally had some gears and KB subframes installed in my 1998 GT vert. While at the shop, I had the guy install some Steeda Sport springs to lower the car. He informed me that they were not able to get the front end alignment back to a setting...

    Will Superchip Microtuner Adjust Speedo in 98?

    I just spoke to the guy who is installing my 3.73's this week. He suggested using a mictrotuner to adjust the speedo since it will be off after the installation. I agreed with him since I don't think I will ever install a s/c or do the PI headswap (at least for a while). So, I checked the...

    What Will Springs and Subframes Provide?

    I am relatively new to the modular world of Mustangs, and have learned a lot on these forums. I have dropped off my car (1998 GT convertible) to have 3.73's done. While the car is at the shop, I am having full length weld-in(KB) subframes installed and Steeda Sport springs installed. How much...

    Is Throttle Body Easy Installation?

    I have been considering installing a new throttle body and plenum in my 1998 convertible. Is this an easy installation or can it be tricky? I have been researching on the boards and it appears Accufab is a suggested manufacturer. Anyone have these mods on their 96-98 Mustang? If so, which...

    Superchargers- Install and Forget or Nightmare?

    Hello all. I am confused to say the least! I have a 98 GT convertible with 30k miles on it. It is a weekend driver and I take good care of it. I have been wanting to make it into a bit of a sleeper by increasing its performance, so I am seriously considering a supercharger or PI headswap...

    What is An Air Silencer?

    Hello all! Color me stupid, but what is an air silencer? :bang: I have read several posts that refer to K&N air intakes (or others), and say that they have removed the "air silencer". What is the advantage of this? Are there any negatives or potentially damaging side effects? I have a K&N...

    What Would You Do?

    Hello all! I have been toying with the idea of "upgrading" my 1998 Mustang gt vert to make it faster. It is basically stock except for K&N CAI, flowmasters and a Triax. I want to make it faster, but do not want to supercharge it. The car only has 30K miles on it and is a weekend driver. I...
