    Throttle body spacer??

    i've been p&p a stock plenum so i picked up a plenum riser on ebay. like twogts4us said the plenum spacer beefs up the bottom of the stock plenum to help the curve and i've port matched it to the bottom of the plenum for optimal efficiency. for 10$ more they had a combo with the tb spacer so...

    Some Toys (need some input) *PICS*

    i've recently finished the inside of a stock plenum using a dremel. used grinding / sanding wheels to get the 'size' on the inside i want. just a hair under 75mm opening now and it matches up perfectly to the accufab 75mm t/b that just came in the mail. they sell these sanding / finishing...

    Does this mean I have a "chip?" Found this while looking under the hood.

    that's a sticker on your radiator cover :) if you want to check the computer pull off the passenger floor kick panel, undo the bolt or two holding the plastic straps in place, and pull out the computer. there's a port in the top end that you can see once you've pulled it and it'll be pretty...

    great looking setup.. the key idea is genius. i plan on installing the same kit next month and will have to put a key on it as a safety switch too.

    Upgrading to Cobra Calibers and rotors

    i've got the zinc washed cross drilled / slotted rotors from stangsuspension.com and have had no problems at all with even a hint of rust. they look as good as the day they were put on. That's the cropped image from the day I had them put on.. Looks the same today.

    x2 if you start bumping up the auto settings without a cooler you're going to be treading on dangerous ground.

    i got my stuff from www.stangsuspension.com they got back to me fast on pre-sale questions, and everything arrived as expected. and so far, their zinc washed rotors are holding up great.

    Cleaning engine bay, who does it?

    i use simple green and one of those plug-in canister steamers. it works well and with the steamer wand you can pinpoint where you want the water to go.. then i just wipe it with those blue shop towels (aka glorified paper towel) you can pick up at any autostore.

    Hammer or Hurst auto Shifter for 2003 GT auto?

    just get the mgw handle / od button setup and spend the rest of the $$ you would of blown on the hammer shifter for a big tranny cooler.. cause if you're gonna start jammin the auto shifts yourself, you better have a cooler on it.

    GT side scoop removal

    take the insert piece out first.. try to slide it a little bit cause its got a little plastic hook on the inside, then it'll pop right off.. from there you can reach your hand in and work it by each plastic pin so you don't break them and can reuse for reinstall.. easy job should take no more...

    Need new brake pads

    if all you need are pads just do the pads.. if you need rotors too you might as well go for an upgrade in the process and get the bullitt/cobra/mach type kits with the 13" rotors. i just paid 440 shipped for a new front setup and labor should only be 100-150$ since it's a fast swap (no level...

    Attempted install on reverse glow gauges

    2nd vote for grounding on the metal tubing behind the cluster. i had to sand it a drop for better solder contact but it worked like a charm.

    X-cal or Predator

    i've got a predator.. works good enough for me. i would like to see them offer the chipmaster revolution software for it though, but who knows when that's going to happen. they have sat on their asses for a long time putting it off and saying 'eventually'. regardless of the extra software...

    Interest in a simpler KarKraft functional hood scoop?

    if it works on my '00 hood i'd be happy to pick one up if the price was right. it's not a mod i would be chomping @ the bit for, but if it was a decent kit i would be game. i'd prefer the flapper and stuff tho but if they are out of biz that's life i guess :)
