    Beep!

    I have had it happen to me a few times where something hits that dumb emergency handle in the trunk and it pops open. Luckly I have the message center in mine that says that the trunk is open so I don't have to look around to find the cause of the beep. That dumb little piece of velcro never...

    new Challenger

    Looks great but it's only a concept. The production version I am sure will not be exactly the same. Also, you won't see that car until 2010 at the earliest from wht I have heard. Here is more info: http://franksperformance.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=93&hl=challenger

    "Dustop" highly recommended for '05-'06

    I just put my '05 GT away for the winter and finished the process off by covering her with a car cover called Dustop from California Car Covers. It fit perfectly and the quality is very good for the price. I highly recommend it for anyone storing their Mustang indoors. Here are pics and more...

    Interior Upgrades In Mid Year

    The interior does not lack refinement. Infact the retro look of the interior has gotten compliments in every magazine and review I have read. As far as upgrades go, I haven't heard of anything.

    Need tune w/ CAI???

    Most CAI's will cause your car to go dangerously lean without a tune. Some do not require a tune though. An example is K&N's CAI. Best thing to do is shop around and find the one you want then ask the mfg if you need a tune.

    Need 2.3L advise.

    Thanks for the advise. I didn't realize how large an undertaking it was to add the turbo or do the 5.0 swap. He really wants a 5.0 so we are gunna keep looking.

    Brake Squeal

    There is definatly a TSB out about it. Mine were squeeking when I got the car. The noise went away though so I never brought it in.

    Need 2.3L advise.

    My brother is turning 16 in January and we are looking for a Mustang for him. He wants a fox but we are having trouble finding a 5.0 that he can afford. There is a guy in town selling a 1988 2.3l for $900. I know very little about the 2.3 b/c I have always delt with the 5.0. I do know...

    Bassani X-Pipe

    Honestly I don't know what it would do if you turned them off. I would think it would be better to use the tuner to fix the A/F ratio rather than turn off the O2 sensors which might only mask the problem of being lean.

    Just Purchased '88 LX 5.0 'vert- opinions please

    What I would suggest is to post your VIN number in the lounge section of some of the forums and ask if anyone will do a carfax report for you. I know a couple of guys who hang out in the Corral forums do them. That might help you find out if that is the real milage.

    Help a brother out!

    Here is a thread with my mods and dyno sheet: http://franksperformance.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=161&pid=659&st=0&#entry659 I got really good power out of just a CAI, cats, x-pipe and axle back and custom SCT tune. Ended up with 299 rwhp and 323 rwtq.

    Just Purchased '88 LX 5.0 'vert- opinions please

    Looks good and if it only has 60k miles on it you got a good deal. Stock in 1988 that car made 225 hp. There are tons of mods you can do to liven it up. Gears, CAI, exhaust, underdrive pullies, the list goes on. Good luck with the car! I just hope it really is 60k miles and not 160k miles...

    Bassani X-Pipe

    A tune is not technically required for the off road x-pipe however it definatly helps. My car was running slightly lean b/c of the Bassani off road x pipe. By slightly lean I mean the CEL would come on intermitantly. We ran the codes and it did say it was lean. Basically the stock computer...

    2005 Exhaust dilema !!!!!

    I love my Bassani system. I have only heard drone from it a few times and it seems to only happen when it was really cold outside. Other than that she purrs at idle and sounds real mean at WOT. The system looks great too and the x pipe and high flow cats are much better than the stock cats...

    Is this sadistic or a stoke of genius

    Lambo doors are not rice in and of themselves however they are becoming so over used by rice that they are gaining a bad name. I personally don't like them on a Mustang and don't think a Mustang was ever intended to have them but to each their own. I would think they are more of a pain than...

    Some pics of my FINISHED Mustang!

    Looks great, very tastefully done. Few questions: The Street Scene ductail. Did you have that molded to the body or did it bolt up like that? It looks great? Also, do you have any internal engine mods to strengthen the internals to go with the procharger or is it on a mostly stock engine?

    06 GT exhaust help

    Go with Bassani. I absolutly love the look and sound I am getting from them. Very nice rumble at idle and at WOT they sound amazing. I get tons of compliments on them. I have a video where you can hear them here: http://franksperformance.com/Forums/index.php?showtopic=161&st=0&#entry659

    Fresh from SEMA...

    Definatly too much wheel. I am against anything that hinders the performance of the car and anything over 18" is adding too much unsprung weight IMO.
