    College Students Leaving A Stang Behind

    Hah, my car is a 5 minute walk down to the parking garage. No way I'd leave it at home. In my campus car club, lots of guys have very nice cars and none of them would ever leave them at home. We go out cruising every chance we get. My car, built 98 cobra, 05 GT with a polished whipple, 04...

    I can't compress my coil springs...help!

    Do you have lowering springs? If so, this should be easy because the springs are much shorter. If not and you want a nice raked look, cut a coil off the bottom of your springs and it'll be easier to get in, plus the stance of the car will look much better.

    03/04 Cobra Owners...

    My car looked just like that a few weeks ago. Put the 14mm hex head bolts in with my IRS plus steeda subframe bushings. I have a killer clunk from the crappy diff bushings so I'm gonna need to spend another 50 bucks for those. And yes the IRS brace is a must, he better have it with a...

    Mongoose kit installed......but is this noise normal?

    First of all, the vid when you are turning the blower with a wrench, you are spinning it the wrong way... Second, yeah, that backlash sounds horrible. I got a used V1 and there wasn't any backlash at all, just smooth spinning with the blower. Good thing vortech has good customer support.

    new mods to go w/ the mongoose???

    Since you have a mongoose kit, I'd ask this over at MPH forums. I'd think a bullitt intake would do wonders for air flow, especially if you port and polish it. They supposedly add a good 20hp or so. Another good mod might be MPH blower cams if you want to get that serious. Or an intercooler...

    Convertible Light Bars

    I have had a few people hit their heads on mine, but thats just their stupidity getting in and out. Also, tall dudes in the back can easily hit their heads when you brake hard if they aren't paying attention. Only complaints I get are from the brake light being fairly bright since I don't have...

    UPS man is my friend

    Use hi-temp silicone gasket maker around the gaskets and reuse the stock nuts on the stock studs and you won't have to worry about them coming loose. The 4 studs they sent are for the midpipe flange. Screw em into the header with loctite. Hope you also got a new midpipe with that deal, but...

    Need Help with Autometer Gauge selection

    I got the Z-series boost gauge for my car and it look almost identical. I need to put a green LED in it, but even without it, its damn close to perfect looking. Sucks cuz if I ever change to EL-glo gauges, I'll have to get a new boost gauge.

    Women....

    Wow, what an odd situation. I think the OP stopped reading because he is in denial? My girlfriend sorta did the same thing after 3.5 years. We kinda grew apart and she started wanting to hang out with this dude from her work (we were both 20, the other dude was 18... so a little different...

    Saw something interesting tonight...

    Yup, I see silver convertibles all the time. Unfortunately, almost all of them are V6's. There are probably 5 on my campus and only one other is a GT and hes got black bullitt wheels. When I bought my car, it had '01 cobra wheels on it and I put a light bar on the day after. Turns out, a...

    Suspension Question -- Please Help!!

    My buddy bought a mustang that he thought had loose struts as well. He noticed it only made the rattling sound when he wasn't on the brakes. Turned out the brake pads were too thin and were rattling around in the caliper. Got new pads and fixed the problem.

    03 Cobra Spoiler Write Up

    Any pics from inside the trunk? I'm getting an 03 cobra spoiler tomorrow and want to install it ASAP. Also, how did you get the old spoiler sticky ring off the car?

    MM FLSFC Questions

    Just got mine put on last weekend. A friend with a business/nice ass garage found a welder to do a 'group install'. We had 3 cars that we put on his lift and the welder did all three in a row. -The welder was top notch (welds every day for a living) and we each paid $130. I think it took...

    Mongoose Kit?

    Oops, double post. Anyway, I know there is more power left in my car because the torque is so high, but I'm gonna need meth injection or intercooling. The car was dyno'd in around 70 degree heat with a huge fan in front and a small fan to cool the blower in between pulls.

    Mongoose Kit?

    No way you'll be seeing 400whp. I have a V1 S-trim with the stock pulley which makes around 9psi at redline. Also have a boost pipe, TB, plenum, longtubes, o/r H and dynomax 3" catback. I make 350hp because the IAT's get so hot that the car has to pull timing. Intercooler and smaller pulley...

    ok so here are my 5.4 3v pics.

    Um, 3300 lbs is light for a mustang. And 390whp can easily hit 11's with gears and decent tires. Why are you hating so bad? Get a life.

    Header Gaskets..what to use

    I originally used the stock ones since they are metal. The passenger side leaked so I pulled it apart AGAIN and used a fel-pro gasket from autozone. Together with some silicone gasket maker, worked like a charm and you don't have to retorque the bolts because the silicone holds them.

    A new mod to the list

    Good looking kit. Can't wait til I can afford an intercooler and a decent bypass. V1 is soooooo loud, I love it.
