    May have totalled my car

    You're right, it's really not that bad, mostly cosmetic and airbags. Yours was a mess compared to mine.

    May have totalled my car

    The adjuster is scheduled to look at it tomorrow morning. I will be meeting the adjuster at the body shop to show that I want my car back.

    May have totalled my car

    The core support is damaged, but fixable. The unibody and front subframe is fine. Even the front fenders are only damaged at the very tips.

    May have totalled my car

    Even though it is just a 2V, this car is my baby. I've spent a lot of time on it the last couple of years to keep it looking good, then this happens. I was driving home from work Wednesday night and hadn't gotten far from the office (maybe 2 miles). There was an SUV in front of me that did...

    official 4.6 liter Mustang photo thread

    18x10s in the rear. Running 245/40-18s in the front and 285/35-18s in the rear. Should have gone a tad wider in the front, but it's not terrible.

    official 4.6 liter Mustang photo thread

    updated pics of my junk... Lowered it with H&R SS springs, Tokico HP blue shocks/struts, and MM C/C plates back in April and just got the polished Saleen wheels installed with Nittos last weekend.

    does anybody know why my car is real sluggish on take off???

    if it has a K&N, clean and re-oil it. While you are at it, use some MAF cleaner spray or electronics cleaner to clean the MAF. Mine was sluggish until I cleaned those. The high hanging idle could be a dirty IAC, but I'm not an expert on this stuff anymore. I would do as wmburns suggests. He...

    Suspension... Am I on the Right track here?

    I'm running the H&R SS springs, Tokico HP (blues) shocks and struts (fox struts in front), poly isolators, poly rack bushings (not offset), and MM C/C plates. I don't have any noticeable bump steer with this setup and have not installed a bump steer kit or "taller" ball joints. I don't have...

    Can CC Plates change ride height?

    I didn't find the installation of my MM CC plates tricky at all. Maybe locating the 4th hole to drill could be, but the rest was pretty straight forward.

    5 speed tech

    1-4 are the same ratios, OD varies between .62, .68, and .72. Reverse is 3.38 except on the TCET2070 and TCET5852 versions (4.38). According to Tremec http://www.ttcautomotive.com/english/media/pdfs_autogen/TR-3650.pdf My 2002 GT has the .62 OD gear, although I'm not sure exactly which...

    Pulled over again!!!

    You don't know what you are talking about. Back on topic... Sucks about VA. I'm sure glad I don't live there. I can't stand the sound of a stock 99-04 2V. That's worse that Kalifornia.

    Need help!!!! Removing upper strut bolt!!!!

    I used a slotted driver bit on my 3/8" ratchet to hold mine over the weekend. It's not terrible, but I'm a little concerned that I didn't get the nut torqued properly.

    what to look for when buying a 99-04

    I wouldn't call this a COP issue. This is better described as a spark plug blowout issue that starts with an audible tick. The COP issue is best described by coils going bad causing a miss/hesitation under load. Mine did it worst around 1500-1800 RPMs in 5th gear (65 MPH or so). I managed...

    WOW I'm P***ed off!

    You guys would never make it on another forum I am a member of. It's a Mustang based site, but you'd never know it without looking at the name of it. That said, that was a joke, laugh and move on.

    Some people just don't deserve nice things....

    I don't see anything "rice" about that car that isn't fixable. Yes, money would have to be spent replacing the painted interior pieces, but it's really not that bad. I'd buy it.

    Time for shocks/struts

    This is actually very reassuring for me. I just picked up a set of H&R SS springs and was trying to figure out what shocks to use that wouldn't deliver such a harsh ride. I'd love to pick up some Bilstein's as well, but they just aren't in the budget at this point in time.
