    How long can it run?

    How long can a 2002 GT run with proper care and maintenance? I am asking this because personally, I don't think Ford quality is as bad as people out there make it to be. Ok, so it has some minor annoying issues, but other than that mine seem to run pretty well. I have 29,000 miles on my...

    Why and is it normal?

    Problem solved. Springs somehow came out of place. Now both front and back are leveled.

    Spark Plugs Replacement?

    I was under the impression that heads would not play a major factor in passing smog check. Instead, I was told that cams is more to blame if passing smog check becomes an issue. The Trick Flow 2V Heads I am thinking about purchasing can operate with stock cam. I am assuming with stock cam...

    I know the 5.0 foxbody has this issue but is it also an issue for 2002 GT's?

    Uneven Ride Height Questions

    I know this thread is old, but does the 2002 Mustang GT have the same problem too? I recently changed my shocks and struts to Bilsteins HD and i noticed that only my rear driver side corner sags by about 1.5 -2inches. Yes, this was measured on even ground and by two mechanics from two auto...

    Why and is it normal?

    I recently purchased and installed the bilsteins HD shocks and struts and I noticed that my left rear side is sitting 1.5-2inches lower than my right rear side. (Bilstein shocks and struts were purchased from AMerican Muscle). I had two mechanics (from two auto service shops) check the...

    Spark Plugs Replacement?

    I am currently looking into the new Trick Flow Heads made by modular depot. I was wondering, for those who have heads and cams switched out, how does that affect your ability to pass smog test? I live in California, would these bolt on modifications create a problem for passing the smog...

    Spark Plugs Replacement?

    Ok, i am a bit confused. This might be a stupid misunderstanding. The piece the spark plugs plugs into is the head right? If so, there is no replacement for this piece? Also, arent all mustang GT 4.6 engines? Why can't we use the newer GT's parts if we ever blown a plug? I am...

    Spark Plugs Replacement?

    Yeah, I was searching old threads about blown plugs and the two consensus is that people over tighten and ruin the threads and another is they leave the plugs in for too long and that caused the thread to be stripped as you remove the plugs. Either of which makes me real nervous to think about...

    Which Tires and Tire Size?

    In addition, would having deep dish front and back without the staggar look be stupid at all? Anyone run deep dish front and back? Any pictures?

    Which Tires and Tire Size?

    My priorities: I want the tires to increase performance and looks (My GT will never see the tracks ever). Between 18x10 rear and 18x9 front, how much will the rear bulge? Is 18x9 the biggest for front? any bigger would rub against the side walls right? Anyone have a picture of such...

    Which Tires and Tire Size?

    Thank you to everyone who has responded. After researching a lot about this on my own, asking this on the forum, and callling American Muscle about tires, the majority of the concern was on how the tires would buldge and lose out on performance if I stay with my stock 17's. If getting a...

    Which Tires and Tire Size?

    I am looking to replace my tires soon. Before I do so, I have a few quick questions. 1. For 2002 Mustang GT what is the tire size (17X8 or 17x9)? Currently, I have 245 45 R17 tires on. 2. What are the widest Tires I can put on my Mustang without risk of rubbing against...

    Any advice and suggestions on Bilsteins install?

    Done with the struts and shocks! Gosh, took me a good 4-5hours. Nevertheless, done! My first time doing something like this and i think i can say i have a whole new level of respect for mechanics. Great learning experience. I got to say, bilsteins vs stocks, a very noticeable...

    Normal?

    Thank you to all who has replied. I do not have a flowmaster, but i do have magnaflow. I have stock gears and it is 5 speed manual. Should i do a transmission flush soon (never been done before). The GT is at 29000 miles currently. The sound seems to come from where the stick is. The...
