    Altenator Question

    About to replace my alternator for the second time on my 2003 V6. Got it tested the other day and its only putting out between 11-12 amps at idle - I'm told it should be doing 14. Sometimes it seems to work fine, but other times when I'm sitting and idling I can watch the voltmeter drop quite...

    Taller Tire

    My bad, I fudged up my last post. I was at work, clearly not working very hard, and was typing to fast. I meant 225/60/15 not 260/55/16, sorry about that one. I seem to confused even myself. When I was talking about the extra 20mm and its possible effect on fuel economy, I meant the extra...

    Taller Tire

    I've been told that the extra 20mm around on all four tires in friction and additional air pressure, can make a bit of a difference (not specifying what that 'difference' is), especially since the added weight is applied directly to the wheels - not like additional cargo. Also, since the...

    Taller Tire

    I was looking at new tires and am on a budget. I know stock for a 2003 v6 Mustang is 225-55-16; what I want to confirm is that a 225-60-16 tire (the ones I'm looking at are like 15-20 dollars a tire cheaper!) will mount on a stock rim and on the car. I know the car will sit slightly higher and...

    Tire Question!!!

    My car was in desperate need of new tires, especially for the winter season. So I researched a bunch and found a nice set on TireRack. I wanted to go with wider tires on the car so I ordered 245's for the front and rear. I got them in the mail yesterday and they are HUGE. I know that they...

    Mustangs

    I went out again last night. We had an 86 Mercury Grand Marque w/ a Ford 5.0 and 100K+ miles out there. It smoked a 4.3 Chevy S-10. I smoked my tires like a happy idiot, and i'm riding with little to no tread on my one tire, the other ones are hangin in there. I finally topped my car off at...

    Mustangs

    I <3 my Mustang. I just got back from a night of messing around on a completely empty highway with a 93 Camaro, and an S10. It wasn't much competition but it was just so fun (aka. smoked 'em). I don't ever want to own something thats not American nor a Mustang. :SNSign: :) :) :) :) :) :) :)...

    3.8 Versus 3.9

    Ford makes a 3.9 that is a v8 has, dohc, and 4 valves per cylinder which is rated at 280 hp. Its a custom swap and costs a **** load. I was thinking about doing it, its quite expensive to do.

    Anyone convert to a Mach 460 soundsystem?

    I bought a used Mach system. Every place I went to, to get an estimate for an install said it was not even worth the attempt, and that you could get a better sounding system cheaper then the install of a Mach system. They said Mach uses all special connectors and things that you have to buy...

    DiabloSport Predator

    Alright cool. The "custom tunes" are the same thing that you get if you were going to order a chip from DiabloSport and you tell them what you have done to the car?, and you basically just download it from them?

    K&N FIPK

    I have a crappy Cold Air Intake kit that I got off of eBay for like 25 bucks plus shipping, which started to rust. I want to upgrade to the K&N FIPK one. When searching on eBay I found two K&N ones for the v6 (mines a 2003). Is there any difference between the two(link below)? I'm gonna get...
