    time for another MEET!

    Damn, I doubt I can make it. I've gotta fix the house up and pack up all my sh...stuff. I took a job in Vegas and leave in 2 weeks. So I only got to go to 1 meet with the 'stang, dang. But if you all come down to the Las Vegas meet, looks like I'll be there for that! Just too bad...

    Removing the lower Grill Insert?

    I just pulled it out. I think you have to pull up on the bottom a bit while pulling, try starting in the middle, then work your way to one side. It only took a minute or two to figure out, but it's been a while. It snaps back in easily too.

    Need advise on removing harmonic balancer

    Thanks for the info about pulling the fan, I was going to try tomorrow night. I haven't been able to break the bolt loose yet, and my neighbor's got an impact tool he can borrow from his shop to try it. I've already got the puller in the garage, little three legger that grabs the tabs in the...

    Official '05' V8 MPG Report Thread

    I've got the C&L Intake, DiabloSport C&L 91 octane tune with -2 GS (so I can run 89 octane), and drive 25 miles each way to work, some city, some highway, and I'm averaging 20.8 miles per gallon. Not bad, and I do get on it once in a while. :) Jay '05 Sonic Blue GT Premium

    Window tint scratches!

    I have been thinking of tinting my windows, but right now I have a nice deep scratch on the drivers window. Deep enough to catch a fingernail in it. Something on the inside of the window guide did this. I'll be going to the dealer for warranty work before I get any tint put on.

    Steeda Charge Motion control plate's question

    I don't have any experience with these, but yes, they go between the upper and lower plenums. They actually (from what I understand) replace stock pieces with a butterfly valve in them. Removing the valve plates frees up a bit more area for air to flow freely through. I could be wrong though...

    Engine cover on ebay

    As azguy posted, there's a group buy being put together on Brad's site (The Mustand Source). Right now the price is $120, but if we get over 25 orders that drops to $102. Send a note to PonyGirl over there, she'll add you to the list. Jay '05 Sonic Blue GT being built this week!

    2005 Mustang GT Diecasts

    I just got a note from Diecast Muscle Cars about upcoming models of the 2005 Mustang GT. They have 2 colors for pre-order, Legend Lime and Redfire. Both have fanblades, it looks like, and the Redfire has the parchment interior, while the LL has Dark Charcoal. The predicted delivery date is in...

    2005 Mustang GT on the dyno

    Madhouse, thanks, those sound great! I noticed both cars have the panel between the lights painted black, was that done independently or planned together? ;) That is just the perfect look, in my opinion. Jay

    $33,000 is totally stupid for GT 2005

    I decided never to do business with Bill Pierre Ford when I stopped in one day to buy a starter bolt for my old 302. I was on my motorcycle, and after getting directions to the parts department, decided to stop next to a Bullitt for a second to look at the window sticker. I had a salesman run...

    Spolier or not to spoiler?

    Yes, I'm definitely getting mine without a spoiler, but I'm going to be checking out all the different ducktails that come out. I thingk with a simple splitter on the front chin and a ducktail the car will be awesome! Jay Waiting on the 18" rims to order my Sonic Blue GT (spoiler deleted)

    Why did Ford change bolt circle

    Actually slegos888stang, it's the other way around. There's more backspacing on the new wheels, so if you wanted to use the old ones they would stick out more on the '05. If you put '05 wheels on an older 'stang you would need the spacers. It went from 20-something (25?) to 45mm, a little...

    Actual 05 with racing stripes........

    Personally, if I'm going to do stripes on my car, I'm going to take it to a very good paint shop and have the stripes painted on, then clearcoated. Might have to see how much that'll cost me. ;) Jay

    Which Aftermarket Looks Best to Date?? PICS included!

    I would go with the 3D Carbon Boy Racer hood, the Steeda front air dam (from this picture) and the duck-tail form the XMP. Maybe the West Trendz hood, but I like the 3d best. I like the subdued look, with just a little more flair than the stock body. Of course the car would have to be lowered...

    Might seem silly, but...

    Perhaps he's thinking of the Buick's that have wipers that pivot at the outer edges, thus the 'gated' action he's talking about. I could be wrong, but I believe they were still on one or two cars in the last couple of years. Jay Waiting to actually see and drive one before I order
