    Wheel Spacers

    Right...every OEM bullitt rim I've seen does have it! However, the '97-'98, 17" rim option (the 10-spoke) doesn't have any gap on the back side of the rim. Not sure about Mach 1 style, Cobra, etc., though. :shrug:

    Wheel Spacers

    I've had my Eibach 25mm (1") hubcentric spacers on the rears for about 1.5 years, and am pretty sure that they have affected/worn the axle bearings. The car only sees about 3K miles, per year, so they probably have 4500 miles on them. I'm getting a nasty metal-on-metal grinding noise coming...

    throwing codes - O2?

    I have Steeda MIL eliminators and still had to replace one of my rear O2's when it went bad. The computer was throwing codes, even with the MIL's. Just to test, I switched the rear O2's, and the codes switched from left bank to right bank. When I switched them back, the codes reverted to the...

    96 GT speedometer quit, OD light flashing

    Sorry to high-jack this thread, but is the tachometer also on a sensor? The tach doesn't work on my '98GT, and it drives me crazy to see it pegged at "0" all of the time! Thanks! :OT:

    When to replace the rear axle stabilizer shocks (quad shocks)?

    Is it necessary to replace both the upper and lower control arms, or can the benefits be noticed with only the lowers? BTW, what are the major benefits of lower control arms, other than the removal of the quad shocks? I don't drag/street race, so will I notice improved handling on the streets...

    When to replace the rear axle stabilizer shocks (quad shocks)?

    What is the best way to tell when these are shot? The Bullitt suspension set-up has been on my car for around 3yrs., but the quad shocks are the stockers (74K miles on the car). Thanks!

    What rwhp/rwtq gains to expect with these mods?

    In addition to my current mods, what rwhp/rwtq totals might I expect with the following: Livernois PI intake kit (http://www.livernoismotorsports.com/product.phtml?p=457) VT Stage 1 cams with stock non-PI heads (just in case I ever want to supercharge, the car will still have the lower...

    "Whirring" noise coming from passenger's side?

    Already had the same problem after putting new rear pads on the car. In fact, I installed the new pads about 2 weeks after the spacers. The piston was completely stuck, and we did sand/lube it. I assumed that more brake dust would be apparent on the rims if the caliper was sticking, again...

    "Whirring" noise coming from passenger's side?

    I installed Eibach 25mm (1") hubcentric wheel spacers on my '98GT a couple of months ago, and have been experiencing a nasty whirring/howling type noise coming from the rear passenger's side of the car only when making sharp left or right turns. This noise is only apparent after a long drive...

    '01GT donating P.I. heads/cams to a '98GT. Have a few questions!

    A friend of mine just had her '01 GT (with ~42K miles) declared as "totalled," simply because it rolled down a 75' embankment and bounced off a few things. :p She has offered to donate any working parts to my '98GT. I immediately thought "woo-hoo...free P.I. heads & cams!" I was also...

    New Paint Job, the Do's and Dont's. *pics*

    What is the appropriate wait time? My rear bumper was just re-painted (2 weeks ago with Sikkens paint), and I'm planning to have the 3M Scotchguard paint protection film installed behind the rear tires. I'm running 1" spacers with the stock rims, and the tires throw rocks and other debris all...

    car cover

    Subscribing to this one. Just had some paint work done on my car (thanks to some punks that egged my car), so I want to cover it at home. Any suggestions on an all-weather cover? The car sits outside, 24-7. Thanks!

    The growl of your Stang with this exhaust set-up will probably scare your neighbors. :shock:

    Need new rear brake calipers...suggestions?

    So in other words, the extra cost of the Cobra or Bullitt rear calipers is to pay for the fancy black or red paint on them? :notnice:

    Need new rear brake calipers...suggestions?

    The rear passenger-side caliper is apparently sticking on my '98GT, because the pad has worn at nearly twice the rate as the driver's side pad. The brake pads are original at 71K miles, and the rear driver's side pad still has nearly 1/2 remaining. The passenger's side pad is completely worn...

    Tachometer is sticking!

    Okay, so did you do anything to the gauge to remedy the issue (other than parking it in cold weather)? Mine doesn't differentiate between cold/hot weather.

    Tachometer is sticking!

    The stock tach on my '98GT has been "sticking" for the past year, and it's just about to drive me crazy! When I first start the car, the tach revs up as normal, but will then either stick at around 2K rpm's or flatline. While I'm driving, the tach sticks at random points between flatline and...

    Can Someone Please Explain A Pushrod Engine.

    Isn't the new 5.7L HEMI a pushrod design?
