    275's?

    Sorry but 275's in the front really isnt necessary. Whats the point of adding extra weight and alot more tire bulge and flex in the front? I run a 9" rim up front and my 245/40/18's fit perfect and there is very little sidewall flex and this results in a much more predictable car and better...

    Benefits to tuning a stock GT?

    Actually, for the 96-98's i believe its not the speedcal either, its an actual speedo tooth gea,r little white plastic thing that you change out.

    Hood shake at 70+

    Maybe your hood latch is loose. That would be the first place i would check. Mine shakes but its an aftermarket fiberglass one and i think i'll be getting some hood pins soon.

    reverse gear on 5spd

    Mine doesnt always go into reverse smoothly. My old GT was the same way and every Mustang i have driven has been the same way.

    Notchiness and lockout in T45 after burnout

    Sounds to me like more of a clutch issue instead of a transmission issue. How many miles on the clutch?

    What springs are these, Eibach Pro or Sport?

    Yup, those are the sagging ass Sportlines. Took those out and replaced them with some H&R SuperSports on my GT and haven't looked back

    sold my bullitt!!!! here's her replacement coughcoughTWINTURBO

    Im in no way attacking the BMW, im simply pointing out thats its not the next Supra at all. I'd say $1300 for a tune is pretty expensive when it runs about $350-400 for the average car, like say an 03 Cobra to get tuned. Also, Stangless, read about the car a bit. People are putting out...

    sold my bullitt!!!! here's her replacement coughcoughTWINTURBO

    Sorry but there's no way in hell its the next Supra. First of all, the motor is already tuned to the max and close to its limits form the factory unlike the 2JZ-GTE. Also, the reliability of a Toyota vs a BMW and maintenance cost will keep this car from ever being that popular. Also, ever...

    what do you think of these...

    Why the drilled and slotted crap if you don't freakin regularly nose dive the car from 100+ mph going in to a turn? Just get the regular solid Brembos and be done with it.

    $300 too much for rearend rebuild?

    Well, headers are a PITA and the X-pipe should take him 15 minutes on the lift if he's done a midpipe swap before. I think since the K-member has to be dropped ot get those headers in, he might charge you a good 200-250 for install if not a bit more.

    Thinking About Buying a Corvette!

    You know, im kind of at that crossroad myself right now. I just got a new job today paying about 400 more a month than my current job. I'm about to be 21 in a few weeks and live at home while going to school full time and working. I honestly could swing the payment for a 03/04 Cobra or even a...

    Thinking About Buying a Corvette!

    Thats my next car for sure. I'm a HUGE mustang fanatic and have been drving them since i was 16, but the C6 and C6Z are both on a whole better level. Will i sell my car to get one? Nope, i'll keep it and get the C6 as well because ive spent money on it that i'll never get back and its getting...

    slp cats on bassani x

    Well the diameter is the same as 99% of all aftermarket midpipes for our cars are 2 1/2". If you have a modualr Bassani x-pipe, just get some cats from Bassani and put those suckers in. The SLP cats are known to hang low and scrape alot and might not be the same length as the Bassani cats. Or...

    inner tierod

    I thought tires were usually affected by the outer tie rods more so than the inners. I've also heard that the inners are a real PITA and you might as well buy a new rack. If there is play in your wheel and tire when the car is off the ground, that should be your outer tie rod i would think.

    Just bought 18" wheels, how off will the speedo be?

    As long as you get the correct tire size in the back, your speedo really shouldnt be off at all. Since the wheel is now bigger, than means the sidewall will have to be smaller to keep the same overall diameter. A 285/35/18 or 295/35/18 out back will be pretty damn close to stock diameter.

    anyone with tattoos?

    Haven't got mine yet, but plan to get one around my 21st birthday this May. Something along the lines of a black punisher skull with a red outline. Just can't decide if it'll go on an arm or upper middle back. Either way it has to be covered with a short sleeve shirt
