    Borla Side exit

    I had these, the steeda version, which are repackaged borlas. They were of very poor quality. they were welded wrong coming out of the box, they would never line up right no matter how much i tinkered with them. Not to mention, they are as quiet as stock, not remotely loud at all. Save your...

    advice on heads w/ p-51 swap

    I have been looking at the fox lake heads as well...Do they modify the combustion chamber? eg. will these heads on a stock '03 GT block drop the compression? also if using an aftermarket cam with stock lift (.550) valve projection shouldn't be a problem should it? even if the duration is...

    physics guys in here for a sec

    mrpositraction nailed it right on the head. Pre-ignition is the temp with in the cylender exceeding the fuel's flash point thereby cuasing the fuel to self ingnite before the timing of the spark. Interesting short story: I owned a '91 volks diesel, 100% mechanical motor. One day late at...

    Question about subframe connectors.

    it can be done I installed a Kenny Brown extreme matrix system with jacking rails and subframe connectors while on my back using ramps and jack stands. It can be done, uncomfortable and takes alittle longer, but it can be done. Mig sparks raining down on you also sucks abit.

    SILENT RECALL ON 03 Cobras???!!!

    Supposedly, I heard this from a guy whom designs electrical systems/ ignitions for Ford (and other OEMs) that they had major cooling system issues with the blown Cobras when they first came out and actually halted production on them for something like 6 months in the beginning. There was some...

    Bogging down ????

    yes, My '03 GT just started doing this at about 18,000 mi. Stomp on the go pedal and it takes a split second to respond. It didn't used to to do this either. I changed my fuel and air filters and it still does it. I haven't notice a decrease in gas milage though. I was wondering if maybe I...

    any body with a MM torque arm?

    Currently I have MM LCA's and Panhard bar (which are awesome), KB Sub frames, jack rails and Matrix Brace, as far as chassis + suspension is concerned. My 03 GT still has stock springs/struts/shocks which I am looking to up grade with bilstiens and lowering springs (have yet to decide on which...

    fuel filter

    I am wondering where there fuel filter is on a '03 GT. Also does it need to be primed with fuel before installation? I assume that it is somewhere underneath the car along the fuel lines. I would like to have an idea before starting an exploritory avdenture underneath the car being that I'm...

    Best way to install side exhaust

    I had purchased and put on the steeda side exhaust approx. year and a half ago, took it off like the 3 mos later, terrible. Never fit right, sounded weak. I ended up having a muffler shop make mine (no muffler actually) and now it fits perfect and sounds brutal. Any body wants steeda side...

    service manual

    does anyone know where I can find a service/repair manual for the 99-03 gt's? Chilton, Mitchell and Bentley don't make them yet, or at least I can't find them. I'm looking for a good one with descriptions of full tear downs and rebuilds, torque specs for bolts, clearances, etc. I'm...

    Questions about long tube headers.

    pardon my ignorance, I have an 03 and have been think of getting LT's for awhile myself. Are there any maintence concerns with adding lt's? In other words, problem with doing a clutch job, ground clearance or anything thing else. I'm sure these topics have probably already been brought up at...

    Autometer Lunar Cluster

    Install? Not bad. I have been toying with the idea of getting these myself. Did you do the install yourself? If so how smoothly did that go? I have an 03 gt and would hate to butcher my interior in the process of the install. I watched the dealer brutallize my interior in my old mustang...

    Side Exhaust????

    Don't get the steeda side exhaust. I bought it for 750$...worst money i've spent in a long time, took it off after 2 months. The build was terrible, pipes didn't line up right, one side was too low and would hit everything, no matter how much you tried to adjust it. You raise it up os it...

    California Emissions

    thnks for the rapid replies. Where I live curently in NY, westchester and NYC have the strictest around. They dyno the cars here when doing the sniffer, so i expected at least that much. But I have never heard of any one failing a visual as long as they passed the emissions, but that is here...

    California Emissions

    I know this topic has probably already been covered numerous times but I have a few questions. I may be moving to CA (LA area) from NY in the near future. I have a 2003 GT with a moderately modified suspension and chasis (LCA,panhard, subframes, jackrails,etc., nothing major), no power train...
