    2006 Mustang GT cabin air filter?

    yep, all S197s have a cabin air filter. i have purchased one from the dealer and one from the parts store. you should not have a problem finding one. they are only about $15-$20.

    Anybody installed a Hurst shifter....

    i did mine with just jackstands under the front of the car. took about an hour with taking the pics for the write up. its not that bad. i did my brother in laws install on a lift, and i thought it was harder to do it that way.

    HELP!!! STRUT TOWER BOLT SHEARED

    click the link on my signature ;) it was my first write up, and not laid out quite as good as the rest of them, but you will get the idea. the torque specs are listed in the service manual or sometimes with the instructions that come with the STBs.

    Went to see the 2010 Camaro

    and was not impressed. we have been seeing this car for so long the exterior is ok now. hated it when it came out, but two years makes it "normal". the interior is horrible, especially where the center console meets the dash (without gauges) trunk space appears larger than a S197, but has...

    ?...gears confuse me...?

    The stock V6 rear end is a 7.5" ring gear. fine for econo cars, but not high performance. the V8 cars use an 8.8" ring gear which is stronger. Gear ratio selection will depend on a few factors. is this a track car? or mostly street driven? what type of supercharger is on it? a centri...

    Is it possible to swap a v8 in these?

    yes, it can be done. will it be cheap? probably not depending on what motor you want to put in. also, you will still have the stock V6 suspension and brakes. if you plan on swapping them to aftermarket anyway, that may not be an issue.

    Favorite mustang color?

    i really like the legend lime as well. the dealer described the color to me and i said no way. shoulda saw one in person first. other than that, not many factory colors stand out as the best. i guess being in the body,shop for so many years made me expect more. :)

    HELP!!! STRUT TOWER BOLT SHEARED

    you can call ford racing and see if they offer a replacement stud for the mount, but i doubt it. if you can track down the manufacturer of the mount itself, then you may be able to get the single part of the assembly. that will be very challenging. i dont personally think that loctite is...

    Cabin Air Filter Install

    I dont remember if I posted a how to of the CAF when I did it about 2 years ago. I am ready to do it again. Anyone interested in me documenting the process? It is just 2 screw type retaining clips, then pull up on cowl cover, then reach in and grab the filter housing, replace filter and...

    J&M Products Rear Suspension Results

    missed this quote earlier... I would double check the torque on the bolts. also, you may want to zip tie the e-brake cable to prevent that from flopping and making noise when it contacts the LCA. there is not much to go wrong unless you did something that was unnecessary for installation...

    J&M Products Rear Suspension Results

    you can install things in any order you want. I dont think the METCO brace would cause any issues, as long as it is compatible with the stock parts and not engineered to fit only their part. If you have any doubts about the extreme joints, get the normal bushings. As far as handling, the...
