    Gas Mileage Questions

    I got a 2002 V6 automatic and drive mostly highway on my way to work. I get between 20 and 22 miles to the gallon. Since i've gotten the car last spring i've added a cold air intake and dual exhaust. Neither mods showed much of an improvement. If anything only maybe 2mpg at best. Hope this info...

    Finally! PICS of the new wheels!!!

    OMG what an improvement. I went on car domain and saw your old rims on the car. It looks a million times better. Very nice taste, those rims suit the style of the car well. I think once you lower the car in the spring like you plan it's going to be BLING BLING. Nice work.

    Side vs Back

    I got GT take off's for my stang. I have kept my stock v6 bumper and just had the shop shim the rear hangers for the tail pipes so they hang down just a little lower to clear the rear bumper. I'll be getting a GT bumper later on when money permits. But for the mean time I was able to get away...

    Traditional or no traditional wheels

    I would suggest you start here...http://v6mustangstuff.com/Wheels.html On the site you'll find most if not all the styles of rims you can get for our stangs. If you don't see anything you like then by all means find something that is "non-traditional" Because in the end if you don't like...

    looks good to me. I like the hood. It's orgional and I think it looks aggressive. I also like the chrome pony's on the door handles. Gives the car another personal touch. Props to you for standing out. I like it.

    yes you can cut it out. I did this to mine and don't have any regrets. It looks a lot better when the lights come on with out the plastic cover over them. You just have to be careful not to cut into the electrical lines that run along the sides of the plastic window your cutting out. You will...

    Where can I get a prepainted bumper cover?

    This site has bumpers painted to your color of choice. I've never ordered from them so I don't know how well they do business. http://www.fiveomotorsport.com/get_InterExter.html

    exhaust ?'s

    Gt takeoffs arn't loud at all. If you want loud The recomendation i see all the time is to get a set of Flowmaster 40's. Take them to a shop and have them make custom 2.25" pipes to bolt onto the car. 300 is a prety good ball park figure on what it will cost. Read around the boards because...

    New pics with Roush bumper.

    I'm lovin the whole set up. I noticed the clear turn signals. That looks 100 times better on a silver mustang. I may have to do that to my silver stang. Did you take apart the head lights that came with the car and take the yellow reflectors off or did you buy a new set of head lights with the...

    RED Lining with the Traction Control OFF. Did any Damage Happen?

    What do you mean mustangs weren’t meant to drive in the snow ? No one told me. And don't go talking about getting an SUV either. I see more of those off the side of the road then anything else because people think there invincible in the snow. We have a ford bronco and I'll drive my mustang in...

    is there anyone inupstate NY area??

    I still want to have a meet as well. We'll have to wait till all the snow goes bye bye. I think NYIRP opens some time in May. That still gives me plenty of time to save up for my new 8.8 rear end and gears that I hope to have for next season. I'll probably post a new thread as soon as I can get...

    I'd sugest geting a whole rear end that has the 8.8" t-loc and gears of your choice from an internet store. Check out this site to get some ideas of what you can buy and how much it would cost. Also read around the forums because a lot of people do this mod. so there's a lot of info here on the...

    Long tube headers and Gt takeoffs

    To answer your question about the H pipe. No it won't fit. The H pipe listed there is meant to be welded onto your stock cats so you can add on duals. The H pipe sold there is exactly what I bought to have my single exhaust setup converted to duals. The H pipe there is shorter then other H pipes...

    Getting automatic shift knob off..

    Check out ebay, there are tons of different styles to choose from. What you will discover is that none of them have the over drive button on them. I've only found one style that has the O/D button that suits our style shifter on the mustangs. They want 50 plus shipping for that. So for now i'm...

    Getting automatic shift knob off..

    There is just one screw on the front side of it that you have to use a small Allen wrench to get off. After that it should come off. Inside you will find a set of wires that runs up to the over drive button...and a sprint that operates the top push button. The first time I took mine off I had to...

    reverse glow white faced guages install

    You are correct. You want to tap the brown wire like you described. Use a pair of wire stripers to pull away some of the plastic outside of the brown wire to expose the metal wire inside. Then just wrap the red wire around it a few times and solder it in. Use a piece of electrical tape to cover...

    Sweet "Mustang"

    Sure zex is the best for ricers that don't know what there doing. It's easy to "Jerry Rig" into anything. People that do stuff like this should be locked up so there idiocy doesn’t spread to the rest of the simple minded world. But what ever, to each his own.

    Bad Install shop expierence

    The saga ends. I went back into the shop today to get the passenger side hanger fixed and raised a huge stink about it. I told them I paid too much money to be finding mistakes like that with the install and complained about how much they charged me. In the end they took the car back into the...
