    wheel hop!!!!!

    I did the BMR upper and lower arms. Eliminated 90% of the wheel hop. Also installed 4.10's at the same time. I was REALLY surprised at how well they handled the steeper gear. I did buy slightly wider tires too, but only 255, so I'm fairly certain that it's all due to the upper/lower arms...

    Smelly (rotten-egg) Exhaust

    As I'm sure you know, a catalytic converter's sole purpose is to turn bad chemicals into less-bad chemicals. Sulfur is a big one as it bonds to oxygen and hydrogen and causes acid rain. I think cats are rated for 10 yrs. I'm not sure but I think that's an EPA requirement. Given that it's...

    2005+ Rear End

    Thanks for the info. I agree, I always get the FRPP gears. I got a gift cert to Summit for Christmas that's burning a hole in my pocket so I gotta get those gears NOW!!! Haha. I'm still waiting on my MGW shifter to get here. Paid for 2-day shipping and it's taken almost a week! It's...

    2005+ Rear End

    I'm looking to buy some 4.10s and just want to be sure that Ford didn't stray from the 8.8" rear end before I drop down some dough. Is this size still being used? Thanks.

    Web Link

    Useful Web Link I stumbled across the following site today and thought it might be helpful for some of you. I'm not sure where exactly this should be posted, so I'll just post it here. There's some good basic info about gears and superchargers if you're interested...

    Shift knob shopping...

    I just wanted to see if the '04 GT leather knob would fit my '07. It's the only handle that I really enjoyed using. If it's 12MM X 1.25 then I'm gonna have to find one. Thanks.

    Shift knob shopping...

    Sweet, I thought the '04 had 12MM X 1.75. I'm looking for one now.

    Shift knob shopping...

    That's the one I was looking for, but I noticed you're in a fox. Does anyone know if that type will fit an '07 threads? I think they're 12mm X 1.25. Thanks.

    Shift knob shopping...

    Does anyone know if the '04 GT leather shifter knob will fit on an '07? I really liked the look with the subtly pressed-in shift pattern. I don't see them online anywhere, but I'm sure I can scavenge one from a junkyard, if they'll even fit. Thanks.

    ? about 4.10 Gears

    My mechanic here in Houston specializes in Mustangs and strongly suggested that I get the FRPP gears. He said the other brands can be a pain to line up and can take a couple of hours extra to do the job right. He also said that they whine more than FRPP, even when set up properly. If you're...

    COMP Cams

    The articles I've read show little to no loss at low RPMs. I'm just gonna spend another $500 and have some 4.10s thrown in. Problem solved. :D

    05 GT Idling ROUGH and misfiring all of a sudden

    I had to take in my '07 GT that had about 2,000 miles on it because it misfired. The #3 coil went out. They replaced it w/o fuss. Sounds like you've got a similar situation. I asked if there was anything that I can do to prevent this. They told me that they've seen coils that never go out...

    Ever put your pony in a stable?

    Yeah, I think I've decided to see if my folks wouldn't mind just keeping it at their house. If I can't do that, then I'll sell it. They probably won't have anywhere to put it. My dad's Monte Carlo project is in the garage. He's got a '68 Camaro shell, rear end, and engine also in the garage...

    Ever put your pony in a stable?

    Thanks for all the info. Right now, I'm living in Houston, TX so cold weather is not really an issue. (It's Christmas time and we're wearing shorts). Plus, I would probably opt for climate controlled storage to protect the leather. I don't know. It seems like it's gonna run me anywhere from...

    Ever put your pony in a stable?

    Kooldawg6: this is a little off topic, but did you live near the refinery? Was there much to do on that end of the island or did you just catch a cab to the tourist side? How'd you get to work? They're still working on the contract and stuff for my job, so I really don't have a lot of...

    Ever put your pony in a stable?

    I thought about taking it. I just don't like all the salt water in the air. Also, I'll be living in some bungalow or something near the refinery, which now belongs to Valero. I read something about how most of the crime on the island (which isn't too much) is near the refinery. If anyone's...

    Ever put your pony in a stable?

    I should be able to sock away quite a bit of cash while I'm gone, so I think I'm just gonna beef this one up like a mofo when I get back. I was thinkin: JLT CAI, 4.10's, Cams, Long Tubes and H pipe, clutch, flywheel, driveshaft, 6 speed, and the list goes on and on...

    Ever put your pony in a stable?

    Thanks for the info, Warlok. My dad's a huge car nut, so I imagine he'll take pretty good care of it. I was just hoping to get a few ideas that neither of us may have thought of. As for the job, I just got lucky. My company does consulting for refineries, chemical plants, and the like...
