    Anybody have pics of these wheels on a '99-'04?

    Minniegreyv8, that pic is good enough for me! I think those wheels do look good on the current Mustang; they give it a slight retro look, similar to the Bullitt wheels. Thanks for the help. :nice:

    Anybody have pics of these wheels on a '99-'04?

    Here two other photos of the same wheels (although not the chrome version) on an Eleanor replica. I think these wheels look great on the older cars, but I was just wondering if they would look nice on the currrent bodystyle also.

    Anybody have pics of these wheels on a '99-'04?

    I've always liked this style of wheel, but I don't know what it would look like on my 2001 GT. Has anybody installed this style? This particular wheel is made by Edelbrock, but it also looks like an old Halibrand style to me.

    Is it ok to change to a synthetic in the tranny

    I refilled my 3650 transmission with GM Synchromesh. Believe it or not, that was recommended to me by my Ford dealer!!! In addition to the service manager, several of the mechanics swear by that product. It has served me well so far, even in the cold Chicago weather we've been having.

    Question For the Do it Yourselfers on trac control

    I must be missing something here...why don't you all just push the traction control button to turn off your traction control? Why do you need to rewire the whole thing? Is it worth all the time, money, and effort to do the procedures that you mentioned earlier, rather than pushing a button...

    Stock 200GT......Sick Of Being Challenged

    No, I don't have a mullet. I guess I'm just a bit more open-minded than some people. I realized pretty early that it's hard to compete with cars that come factory stock with almost 90 rwhp more than the '99 and up Mustang GT (the LS1 engines are underrated in the Camaro SS at anywhere from...

    Stock 200GT......Sick Of Being Challenged

    I love my Mustang, don't get me wrong! 485 hp deserves respect, though, whether it's in a Mustang or an F-body. Unfortunately, having the ability to reach 485 hp for only $2595 + labor is something that we Mustang owners can only dream about.

    Stock 200GT......Sick Of Being Challenged

    It's too bad we can't put LS1 engines into our cars. SLP offers a head and cam package for the '97-'03 LS1 engines that raises the power to 485 hp. It's all streetable, too. All that for a low price of $2595--less than what we'd pay for a blower. You better hope that your competition doesn't...

    Where can I find Mach 1 dash/console parts?

    Do you have any pictures of the finished product? Were you a little nervous when you broke off the clear lens? :shock:

    Where can I find Mach 1 dash/console parts?

    That's not a bad idea...I suppose the paint would be protected pretty well because it's underneath the clear bezel lens. I don't think I'll be painting my console, though, because I would hate to have it either 1) turn out poorly and have to be redone, or 2) chip/crack/peel in 6 months and have...

    Where can I find Mach 1 dash/console parts?

    I'm POSITIVE I just saw one for sale on Ebay. It did not have the 35th Anniversary logo on it. It was pretty cheap too, from what I recall. I think it was around $35-40, brand new.

    Where can I find Mach 1 dash/console parts?

    Please don't bother. Also, could you please refrain from turning this thread into a slugfest? I'm really trying to find out some information about console parts. This thread only turned sour after you chimed in and called somebody a "poser."

    Where can I find Mach 1 dash/console parts?

    I'm not sure...but last time I checked under 01bullittstang, it was banned. :shrug:

    Where can I find Mach 1 dash/console parts?

    He was also banned on this forum while posting under another name: 01bullittstang. Did you notice that he jumped into this thread only so that he could insult someone, rather than contribute some useful information?

    Where can I find Mach 1 dash/console parts?

    Anybody else? I'm looking for an online retailer that might stock these particular pieces for less than the local Ford dealer.

    Where can I find Mach 1 dash/console parts?

    I'm looking for the silver-colored dash and shifter console pieces that come on the Mach 1 (I think they are also part of the "interior upgrade" package for '04). Who sells them? I know I could go to the Ford dealer, but is there an online retailer who sells them for less than the dealer? I...

    exhaust installation tip needed

    It helps to have some socket extensions available when you are trying to remove the header bolts, so make sure you have those. Also, a pipe cutter may come in handy. If you don't want to use a torch to get the cat-back off, you can either buy or rent a pipe cutter from Autozone. It looks like...

    CAI waste

    Wow! So, do you consider the above post to be one of the "45 posts of pure knowledge?" Nearly every post of yours that I have read on this site has either been rude, ignorant, immature, worthless, or a combination of those four characteristics. I find it interesting how often you choose...

    Yeah, OK, you got me. But do you know what sucks about Florida? This!

    Snow Driving Question

    I drive my Mustang in and around the suburbs of Chicago, so I'm used to the snow. Before the Mustang, I drove an '84 Chevy Caprice which had a peculiar tendency to do a 180 in the RAIN if I slammed on the brakes. That was rather disconcerting while traveling down Devon at night... Anyway...
