    Where can you buy Ford GT seats????

    AY CARUMBA! 6grand a pop? talk about taking all the piss out of it....welp......looks like i'll look for something else....dammit.

    Where can you buy Ford GT seats????

    Hey guys, i'm in the middle of hot-rodding my 65 fastback. While I currently have Scat Pro-Car seats, I don't care for them all that much.....In keeping with the ford super car theme, i was contemplating the use of Ford GT (supercar) seats, but i can't seem to find them anywhere. Does anyone...

    Want to Buy 01-04 GT, What Problems Should I be Aware of?

    Keep the comments rolling! My only beef with the GT mustangs is the interior. I'm use the the full leather apointments of my S2000 and unfortunately the GT just doesn't measure up......SO I started taking a closer look at the Mach 1's....and welp, I think I have my eye on a grabber blue '04 =)...

    Want to Buy 01-04 GT, What Problems Should I be Aware of?

    :) I'm allllll too familiar with this problem. If you haven't noticed from my picture....my 65 fastback is ffaaarrrrrrr from stock. But in all honesty I just want to make this potential mustang fun. Nothing pushing the limits, just fun. On that note I was anticipating installing: Sparco...

    Want to Buy 01-04 GT, What Problems Should I be Aware of?

    This is all great news......I always here people saying fords are horrible...and this and that....but after owning my fastback and after working on my friends Bullitt ang GT I feel pretty confident about the reliability of the more modern mustangs...... Now the Focus i just picked up from...

    Want to Buy 01-04 GT, What Problems Should I be Aware of?

    This is a good start guys. Thank You. Keep the info coming! FYI: I'm looking for a low mileage vehicle......so Mach 1 vehicles with less than 30K miles in CA are hard to find for cheap....but I did look at that option for a bit...

    Want to Buy 01-04 GT, What Problems Should I be Aware of?

    Hi everyone......I use to hang out in the Classic section forever since I have a 65 Fastback....But I'm contemplating the purchase of an 01-04 GT or Bullitt Mustang as a daily driver/play toy. This decision makes sense to me because the going price seems to be right around the 12K-15K range...

    saw abitchen stang at the race track

    I was racing all freakin day in my S2000 at Streets sooo I had to refuel a couple times. So by necessity I HAD to snoop around the cars at the International track. Unfortunately I only had a brief chance to look over the fastback.......I wonder if the guy is on Stangnet....I'd REALLY like to get...

    saw abitchen stang at the race track

    OMG I was racing streets of willow several months back when the SAAC had taken over the big track on the same day. In between my rounds I was really intrigued at this NASCAR esque sound I kep hearing around the last sweeper bend of big willow.....it was THAT exact fastback.....I was so proud of...

    How many laps before overheating?

    My '65 was running a custom Ron Davis radiator, 160 thermostat, Roller 5.0 engine, along with a 3 open cowl hood. So while it did warm up during certain occassions, it never came close to overheating.....One thing to note however, was that I never ran my fastback on the tracks during high...

    How many laps before overheating?

    As a regular at Willow, I can say without batting an eye lid that Right now is the worst possible time of the entire year to go!!!! Although I've never overheated in either my 65 fastback nor my S2000, the heat created out there by the super charger will definitely kill the power. IF your...

    stressing out

    I'm sorry budy! I really am. I was almost in that same exact position when I went away to college. Except mine dealt with MULTIPLE faulty MSD ignition systems and an oil pump shaft that dropped out of it's seat and into my oil pan! What I thought was going to be a weekend project turned into a 4...

    Build your own......

    haha I think I might have you beat. I refused to part with $480 for a ram air intake for my S2K.....went over to OSH and made the same (if not better functioning) ram system for $6 :rolleyes: ......I just like to think of it as resourceful. But my friend that has enough money to frivolously...

    stupidity of some....

    OH god.......so that just brough memory of mine. One time I brought the fastback to Tire Pro's to have new tires put on. Out of curiosity I asked the guy at the front desk if the workers in the back knew what to torque the wheels to. He said: "Sure, they use impact wrenches that are...

    My Cobra R conversion

    Right one! :nice: With the wing it almost looks like the Bat Mobile because it's black :rolleyes:

    Finally pulling the trigger on the Terminator.

    Haha nice wording. I hope you have fun with the Cobra, but in all honesty, when I read "put up or shut up" I thought you were going to say you were going to purchase a Kenne Bell and full exhaust (or something to that nature.) While a twin turbo system would really back up your fightN words, the...

    Most probably. That's why I'm wondering if anyone knows definitively. I'd love to further investigate right now, but I'm basically wasting time at work... =)

    1967 Shelby GT500E Super Snake Edelbrock Passion Video Contest

    67FBack, Just to clarify a few things things: -What kind of dyno where you testing on? Because very often that can vary the registered power output. -As for the "Shelby" heads, I know from reading over their specs they would bottle neck the needs of a supercharged engine of that size. Yet...

    HEY 67Fastback! I didn't stop to think that you'd be on stangnet too....I saw and commented on the original movie you posted on youtube. ON THAT NOTE, I mentioned how I thought your power and torque ratings were a little low. In response you said that you weren't firing on all cylinders and...
