    lambo doors

    I was at a Ford car show here in CT, mostly Late Model Mustangs. There were two cars with the lambo doors. I thought they were cool, but at $2k I think I will buy some parts to make the car go faster.

    Mail order tires/wheels

    I ordered tires for my truck a while back. Bought 4 steel rims to go with the tires, cost was $860, free shipping if you got the rims. Local shop wanted almost $200 per tire plus mounting/balancing. The tires were great, not seconds.

    I used to race my street bike. My first time out I was in the .600s on a .500 light. With a little practice I was able to get to the 550-580 consistently.

    Total cost to lower my Mustang with Pro Kit?

    You can check the web for the price of the springs. Summit, Jegs are a couple of places that come to mind. As for the labor, if the Mustang is like other coil overs in the front you are looking at about 1 hr per side for the front. The rear should not be more than another 1 hr for a total...

    Die-Cast S197 Mustangs?

    I already have a windveil blue GT from Autoart on order. It is due to be released in August some time. The reason for the pre order is that I want one of the 6000 because I have the exact car, WB, GT, Premium with the black interior.

    Cruise Control

    I have noticed this on my 04 F150. At the end of a long grade is really bad, very slow to resond at bottom of hill and maintain the speed setpoint. It is really annoying if there is a hill going up at the bottom, can lose 5-10 mph. As for the Mustang I have not experienced the problem...

    How do I get an '05 Air Bag off to change Steering Wheel?

    I would disconnect the battery, turn the car to the on position to verify that no power is being stored. After that you can do pretty much what you want as the air bag cant deploy without power.

    brakes

    How much dust are you getting? My car does not produce much dust at all. My 04 F150 was terrible, one round trip to work, 8 miles, and they were black. I replaced the fronts with Akebono ceramic pads and problem gone. I read somewhere that the pads on the Mustang are Akebono ceramic, and so...

    Shaker 500 Question

    The Shaker systems have tweeters mounted with the door speakers as an integral unit. If you want to change the speaker, the tweeter must go. I replaced the speakers in my Mustang with some Pioneers, 3way in the rear and 4 way in the front and there was a vast improvement. The speakers in...

    Painted My Door Sill Letters Today

    Is it not funny how dealerships/service departments, and I use the word service lightly, can do that to perfectly nice people. I am lucky to have several dealerships within 10 miles here in CT. I will not go back to 2 of them and the 3rd is borderline. A friend at work asked me what I am...
