    Black or Chrome deepdish?

    I wish I became a member before putting my first set of rims on! I could never find deepdish bullitt rims until I got in on StangNet! I got a black 03 Mustang GT Premium 4r70w. I bought some 18x9 Elite Barb rims for it. 2G's for the wheel and tire combo. Bad thing was when I got them they looked...

    ??? does the computer learn???

    The ECM (engine control module) has presets that determine how the car runs, idles, etc. Depending on driving conditions, it selects a fuel curve to best suit mileage and driving performance. It can't learn from itself unless new information is inserted into the module (dealer programming or...

    98 GT Gear Help

    4:10's will jump your RPM up on the highway, so if you got alot of money for gas, knock yourself out. I personally would suggest 3:55's if you do alot of highway driving. It'll make a difference, but save you a little money, too. Oh, if you have that 70mph drone that I have, it'll take that...

    K&N question

    I have a UPR products CAI in my car, but had a K&N Cone Filter before. I really did't see much difference besides a better look. The filter cost me $64. I have my old K&N Filter. It has 800 miles on it. Private Message me if you're interested.

    Starting problem? Need help!

    I don't think so. I recommend it especially for the chicks, and I know alot of people that have them in their stangs and cobras. The rice burners have them in their cars because they can't make it up in their engine. A good engine plus a good system, that's pimpin!! Are those solo-barics any...

    Starting problem? Need help!

    I have the same problem with my 03 GT. The dealer told me it has something to do with excess exhaust fumes not exiting and causing moisture in the ports. Even my 4.6 Supercrew had that problem. It seems like a normality. I don't think it can really be fixed. Just give the ignition time to...

    Rear Seat Delete for speakers

    I was suggested to get a seat delete for my 03 GT because my Bandpass box (speakers) are sitting on top of the back seats. It's a heavy box, and I couldn't fit it in the trunk. Anybody know where I can get a good deal on a kit? Does anyone have pics of a kit installed? Will it accomodate my box...

    off road h-pipe=torque loss

    I got an O/R X-Pipe on my 03, and I lost low end also, but gained a good feeling at 4500rpm. I love the sound the Flowmasters make, like you got a turbo in the muffler. Gears will definitly do the trick. Where did you get the headlight covers? Do they affect the lighting at night? How much were...

    AmSoil 0w-30?

    I got a catalogue in the mail from Amsoil oils. They have a 0w-30 weight synthetic oil that is suggested for vehicles that normally take 5w-20 or 5w-30 weight oils. Is this safe? It's expensive so it's gotta be good, right? I currently use Castrol Syntec. I was thinking about paying the money...

    mach 460

    They don't put out enough to power a sub, that's for sure. I had a bandpass box installed in my 03 GT and my Mach 460 had to be wired to my subwoofers amp. They took my two factory amps out. My were located in the front of the trunk under the rear glass and behind the seats. The 2 amps have a...

    overdrive?

    I manage about 4700rpm because it feels like the powerband peaks around 4500. You need an advance for the handshift because it takes the car a little time to function to the next shift. I suggest you test your car by taking it to a back road, shifting it in first and running it through the...

    overdrive?

    3 speed w/ O/D?? Is there something I'm missing? I thought the 4r70w was a 4speed w/ O/D. Unless you're talking about the planetary being three speeds and two bands.

    total weight of a 2002 GT?

    MM&FF posted a shootout in their magazine for the 40TH ANN. GT, the Mach 1, and the Cobra in the April edition. They claim that the weight for the GT is 3,590 w/ driver. For some reason my car is heavier I guess. I had it weighed at the truck scales just out of curiosity. 3891... I don't...

    total weight of a 2002 GT?

    I got an 03 GT premium fully loaded and I checked in at the scales at 3891. Where did they get 4400? You sure that ain't gross weight? I got speakers and a band pass to add to the weight. You should be around 3800 to 3900 or even less. O3 Black GT Premium UPR O/R X-Pipie UPR CAI Flow 40's...

    overdrive?

    It all depends on the driver. I have a 03 GT 4R70W and I always leave it off until I get in the powerband and then turn it on as needed. But that's only my opinion. It works for me. A prelude has gobs of top end power, but I wouldn't let one beat me, I'd have to turn into Mario Andretti!!!!haha...

    overdrive?

    O/D is exactly what what it says, OVERdrive. It's an extra gear to get better mileage, something to make the car run normal speeds than a 4speed. You can turn it off during heavy loads like climbing in Colorado, etc. But when racing at the track, you'll never hit overdrive in a 1/4, or even 4th...

    Mach auto or stick?

    Auto Mach 1's are rated at 308hp while manuals are rated at 310 at the crank(reported by MM&FF April 2004) Torque is rated at 323 for the auto and 335 for the manual. But of course, it all depends on the driver and the condition of the car and weather. It's the little things that count.
