    H&R Super Sports Springs

    I'm in the market for lowering springs for mine, and from what I've been told, if you don't lower you car any more than 1.5" then you don't need the c/c plates. Hope this helps.

    chin spoiler yes or no?

    Here's mine (if I attached the photo correctly). Lowering is next, but I think the spoiler still looks good and it's an easy install. Get it.

    Oil change every 3k miles...

    Same here. The Motorcraft Syn blend isn't all that expensive, so I change every 3K.

    Racing Stripes?

    I have the "mach I" style scoop black out and hood stripe kit on my car and I love it. My car isn't TB, but I think the decals I have would look good on a TB. Here's a link to a picture of my hood with the stripe (the guy I bought the decal from off of ebay asked to use it a model)...

    What it takes to beat a 98T/A in a GT?

    IN a nutshell, if you want a hellaciously fast engine, get the LS1. Everyone knows they are super fast right out of the box. However, IMHO, the interior, build quality, ride, handling, and just about everything else is inferior to the Mustang. IT feels like your sitting in a bathtub when...

    Cold Air Intake Tweak Link???

    Here's the link, but I don't think it's working anymore. http://darkwolf.dfwstangs.net/Project_Poonstang/Modifications/CAI_Tweak.html

    people with shifters look!

    The stops are redundant, so why use them? I backed the stops all the way back on my 2003 and have had zero tranny problems in the last 7k miles. The problem is not that people are installing them wrong, the problem is that it is a high vibration area. IF the stops aren't locked extremely...

    Oil change disaster

    I agree, sounds like your mils went bad and it just so happened you had just changed the oil. To address the oil capacity issue, Ford changed the capacity, and I assume the oil pan in mid 2002 (I believe). My 2003 holds 6 and the manual recommends 6. :shrug: I'm sure if you do a search...

    Questions about suspension

    I read a mag article (forget which mag) not long ago where they compared an '03 Cobra, an "03 Mach I and a Bullitt. The Bullitt was the best handling of the three. The Mach I was the worst of the three (in handling). I'm thinking of the Bullitt setup myself because you don't have to replace...

    How come sometimes 1st gear doesn't pull at all?

    Isn't there something in the manual about manually adjusting your clutch? If I recall you are supposed to put you toe under your clutch pedal (car not running, obviously) and lift up until you hear a "click." As far as your problem goes cotton, I agree with most on here--sounds like you...

    Low down on intake spacers?

    I bought a phenolic intake space from intakespacer.com (or intakespacers.com--ccan't remember the exact name) for $25 bucks so I thought, why not? I can't say if it has given me any more hp or helped my times (because I haven't been to the dyno or the track), but I will say my throttle...

    Bullit pedals Q

    The clutch and break slip on. Have fun because its a real beyotch. The dead pedal snaps in, so it's pretty easy. The gas pedal has a pin in the back that has to be removed, then you simply put the bullitt pedal on and replace the pin--no big deal.

    Water in the duals?

    I have heard of using a high pressure hose (like at a car wash) to accelerate breaking in mufflers, but that was a few years ago. I'm not sure about how that would work on modern mufflers and I'm not all the sure about the logic of shooting water into your exhaust. . Why don't you do what I...

    Any difference between a 01 and 02 GT?

    There were a few minor changes for '02 New for 2002 New audio options put Mustang at the forefront of technology: Available MACHÒ 1000 audio system with speed-sensitive radio. Available MP3/CD radio. New, updated Sport Appearance Group for V-6 16-inch wheels and tires standard on...

    Gears for the V6

    Thanks for the replies! What is the stock gear ratio on a 2000 v6 5 spd? And about how much would one expect to pay for gears and t-loc on a six?

    Gears for the V6

    My wife wants a little more power out of her 2000 V6 and I was thinking gears. I was wondering what you guys recommend based on experience. I'm planning on 4.10's for my GT, but what would be a good gear for a bolt on V6 5 spd.? Are the 4.10's too much, or wouold we be better off with a 3.73?

    I hate my Stang!!!

    Sapper, I have that same squeak. Does yours seem to get worse on colder days? This is the only real annoying noise I have, but I can not isolate it. If you figure out what's making yours, let me know and I will do the same. I'm going to try SFC's as a fix soon. I'll let you know if it works.

    Convince me...X pipe w/flows...

    I have the UPR X and 2 chamber flows and I love the sound. Also, the upr fit well.

    Just installed my UPR O/R X-pipe....OMFG!!! Wow.....

    I bought my mil elims from partshoper here on stangnet. I got the cheaper pro3i that you have to wire in, it sounds like you got the more expensive plug and play type. Maybe you have a bad mil elim? Sorry to hear you're having trouble...that always sucks but especially at this time of year.

    Tired of getting beat by turbo Jettas!

    Why don't you give the guy a break? I suppose you win every race you're in as well... :notnice:
