    Anyone ever modify the headlight pull knob?

    Yeah, Foxes don't have pull switches, but I'll take the pull switch on my 02 over the dash mounted flipper that came on my 87 GT. The car was freakin brand new and I went through 3 switch modules in 3 years. Piece of **** design...

    Quick Diablosport question.

    Burning Rubber -- I'm sure you know this but: make ABSOLUTELY sure that the stock OEM tune is returned to the car the Predator is currently "married" to! The owner cannot keep the performance tune and give you the unit or all you'll have is an expensive plastic paperweight. And Diablosport...

    Opinions??? (springs)

    C springs usually don't drop it more than an inch. But putting Ford C springs in my car dropped the front more than 1.5" and the back about 1". I don't know why -- the mechanic couldn't explain it either. It looks great, but I'm gonna have to get CC plates....

    How To: Change Your Cluster to Blue L.E.D.s/Incandescent bulbs for $8

    Aren't the needles lit independently? Could you leave the bulbs in for the needles and just change the LEDS for the panel? (or get maybe white LEDs for the needles, so that they stay visible and red?)

    I need new tires for my 02 GT

    I drove my 2002 GT in the snow for 2 years on Continental ContiExtreme Contacts. They were surprisingly good in the snow, and more than acceptable during the rest of the year. You can see / buy them on TireRack. I finally got a winter beater this year though.....

    What does everyone think of these headlights

    Please don't ruin your Mustang with those. What did it ever do to you? Factory smoked headlights look the best. If you want a brighter, whiter light, throw in a set of Sylvania Silverstars. (But don't get the rice-y blue bulbs.)

    Storing for winter

    The mouse poison idea is great -- didn't even think of those little bastards, I get them in my pool shed too. I'll put some baits around the engine compartment. I'll Probably get some of that fox urine powder and sprinkle it under the car too.

    Storing for winter

    I finally scored a winter car so I'm going to take my Stang off the road for a few months. I need some advice. I don't have a garage, so the car will be under a car cover in the back yard. It'll end up covered in snow since I live in NH) I'm going to change the oil right before I park it...

    Cold Air Intake?

    I dyno'd my GT stock and had 226rwhp. The next time I dyno'd it I had put on a K&N FIPK, Flowmaster 40s (welded in) and a Diablo Predator tune. Got a total of 12 more rwhp. For giggles, I put the OEM tune back in and lost 9 hp. My guess is that the Flowmasters added nothing because the...

    Trying to get a more aggressive stance

    I've got the C Springs too. They have a nice rake, good handling and ride quality. I got a little more drop on the front end than I expected -- more than C Springs are supposed to give -- so I will have to get CC plates. It just goes to show that every car is a little different.

    DiabloSport Predator Mustang Tuner

    Unless you've got intake, exhaust and midpipe done, you may not see much in the way of additional power with the Predator. When I got mine I had a K&N FIPK and welded-in Flowmasters. All together I got about 12 rwhp. When I added a un-catted h-pipe I gained an additional 10rwp and 25lbft of...

    1966 Pontiac Catalina Station wagon. 22 feet long 6000 lbs EMPTY 389 V8 Used to be able to take 8-10 people to the drive-in comfortably. Could run the front seat all the way back and the people sitting in the back seat could still stretch their legs out. At the drive in, usually several...

    Best Shifter

    MGW, Pro 5.0, Steeda Tri-ax. Those are generally considered the best of the bunch. And everyone who has one will say that the one they have is the "best". Like this: I have a MGW -- I think it's great. Whichever one you get, you will like it -- anything's better than the stocker.

    When Did The Fart Can First Appear?

    The fart cans were just starting to get popular around here by 95-96 or so. Around then, I had a 94 Ford Probe GT that needed a new exhaust. The Speed shop I went to was really pushing the Greddy, but they also had Borla. I didn't know much about either one, but I hated the 6 inch exhaust tip...

    winter storage?

    I'm gonna be taking mine off the road this winter too. So - it's OK to leave it covered outside all winter outside with snow piling up on it? I have a good quality California Car Cover. (Stormweave type)

    OMG! LMAO! LOOK AT THIS!

    I bet the owner installed the wing himself, and when someone pointed it out, he got all embarrassed and said the "dealer did it"!
