    Cigarette smell removal

    You can find and try dozens of chem solutions from Pep Boys, AutoZone, Wal-Mart etc; some of them will work to some degree but as stated above, smoke odor is very difficult to get rid of entirely. You not only have to remove it from the visible headliner, seats, carpets - but also from HVAC...

    Comfortable aftermarket seats?

    If you think the present generation GT seats are uncomfortable, you shoulda tried the previous generation! I had a 2002 GT Vert that was so bad I was shopping eBay for weeks trying to find '03-'04 Cobra seats to install. Finally went with an '05 GT and that solved the problem; perhaps your...

    Are stock Ford gears ok?

    If they're new, they're probably still in the original box...check the part number. If it's Ford-built, the part number ends with an "A." If they're built by Motive, the part number ends with a "M." A is better than M when it comes to potential gear noise after the install. Good luck...

    Looking for a Dyno shop

    Don't know how far "north" you want to go, but I can highly recommend B&D Racing in Canoga Park. Contact Brian at: [email protected] for an appointment; they also will not BS or rip you on mods you might want to buy in the future. They're a full-race shop and do lots of supercharger...

    Gear question

    It takes a good mechanic approx 3-4 hours - so multiply that by the shop's labor rate which will vary across the county. In California, figure $70 to $100 per hour. My 2002 GT gear swap (to 3.73s) cost me $175 on a "special" advertised deal but my recent 2005 GT gear swap (to 4.10s) was closer...

    Anybody familiar with Leasing?

    Early Lease Terminations = Not Fun In general you owe all the remaining payments once the interest portion is removed. This could vary depending on what company actually holds legal title and their policies. Without knowing your lease contract details it's difficult to estimate what that...

    Replacement Filter Element, C&L CAI I asked C&L about a replacement filter; they sell them for $40 + shipping. Or you can use the K&N cleaning/re-oiling kit which is available at Pep Boys, Autozone, etc. Just be carefull not to over do the re-oiling since that can royally screw-up your MAF...

    B&M or MGW Shift Kit?

    B&M Shifter` Thanks for the replies so far. The B&M sells in the $180-190 area so it's a lot cheaper than Steeda and Hurst, not to mention the Roush shifter (Hurst also?). Like to get some more opinions, in particular from people with Tri-Ax or Pro5.0 experience in the past. Jeff

    B&M or MGW Shift Kit?

    I understand that the MGW shifter for 2005+ Stangs won't be out 'till summer...anybody install the new B&M shifter? Had a Pro5.0 in my '02 GT and it was OK but looking for smoother action this time around. http://www.bmracing.com/index.php?id=products&sid=4&cat=3&subcat=15&pid=338 Jeff...

    05GT That Starts Like a Marx Brother...

    Excellent (and easy/cheap) suggestion on the key; I'll try the spare to see if there is any difference... As for pushing the clutch pedal to the floor - that I already do. Got an appointment with the dealer on Monday morning so I'll report back. Thanks!!!!!!!!!

    05GT That Starts Like a Marx Brother...

    The one named Zippo (ok, so actually it was "Zeppo"). As in when I start it up, cold or warm, I get nada, nothing, no noise, no clicks. Turn the key off and back a few times and eventually it will start just fine. When it does start, no unusual starter noises, no extra time for it to...

    thanks Bobbo - Thanks for your response. I drove the '05 vert yesterday and it didn't exhibit any "pop" to the suspension; time will tell on that and the gas fill problem. Jeff
