    Really? I'm 5/9" and 185 (at 38!) and I feel better in the S197 Mustangs than the any of the previous Mustangs I have had!

    Rust Repair Has Begun. 03 Gt (pictures)

    Thats a good looking patch piece. I'm sure you know this, but make sure you remove all the paint from above and the sides of the patch where you plan to weld it and tack weld it very slowly so you dont warp the surrounding area of the repair, etc, etc. I have done this a few times on various...

    Need New Intake Manifold For 01 Mustang Gt

    I agree, for the money the stock intake is the best bet. Couldn't have said it better myself. Save the money for a power adder and build off that.

    Offroad X Or H Pipe?

    H if you want the deep sound, X if you enjoy the raspy rice sound. Not trying to offend the X pipe crowed but I have used both on the 4.6L and the x pipe lasted 2 weeks before I took it off for a H. My application tho was a offroad X and H, it may sound better/different with cats.

    Want A '15 - But Dealer Won't Take My '13 On Trade Due To Recall - Help!

    Not sure a lawyer would touch this and it's a bit much to go through just because you want to buy a new car. Recall's does not fall under the State Lemon Law unless the issue is major mechanical and cannot be resolved. I do, however I know how you feel at the moment! Obviously, it's a Ford...

    Ecoboost Exhausts - Looking For A Deep Sound

    The Eco Boost Mustangs are definitely cool in their own right but if it where me I would leave the exhaust as it is from the factory. Nothing will replace the sound of bigger dismantlement and if you do not want to fit into the Tuner crowed than leave well enough alone.

    94-98 Chin Spoiler Install - Do I Need To Remove Anything?

    Nothing to remove. It screws up to the bumper cover at the leading edge. At least that is how the one I got from AM installed. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

    Bama Or Brenspeed

    The tunes for life with AMs Bama tunes is good but honestly their tunes are not that good, considering the price of the tuner itself. I used them first on my old 96' GT convertible and currently my 2000 GT convertible using the SF3 SCT handheld. The 93 octane race tune gives some degree of...

    Issues After Installing Throttle Body 04 3.8

    Disconnect the new battery cable for a few minutes and then reconnect and try again. I had this issue on my 96 GT when I installed an off H pipe and the solution for me was this. Sometimes the cars computer just needs a quick reset. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using Tapatalk

    2005 Front End Clanking Noise

    At 141K it could be anything from the tie rod ends to ball joints. What have you serviced on the car's front end since you have owned it? Things like the struts usually go first. Ball joints can be dangerous if bad and left unattended too long and front end bushing deteriorate over time. It's...

    Used mustang warranty

    LOL CPO is BS in itself. They use the CPO :poo:e to trick customers into thinking that they are getting a used car that "should" be in like new condition. Problem with this is the inspection process and the inspector(s). Some dealerships have a higher standard of point tests and some just do the...

    Looking For Another Gt

    I'm not sure if I'll keep the 2000 or not. I think I'm more inclined to sell it and put the cash back in the bank. The resale value blows I was shocked to see what the kbb high value was even in excellent condition. As far as power, the 2010 is miles quicker than my 2v. On a side note I...

    Help! Snapped Camshaft Bearing Cap

    It could be possible to get a cap for it from a junk yard 3v engine. Same cap, from the same part of the head that you need and then take the head off your car and take it to a machine shop and have it line board to the cam. I know this is possible but I would call a couple of machine shop...

    2011 Mustang Gt Insurance

    Ah, I missed that part. I have one just graduated that has the same issue. My wife and I wouldn't let him get his permit unless his grades were better and he was far less responsible than the average teen, at least far more than my oldest was at his age so his idea was just not to worry about...

    2003 Mustang Convertible

    Is the battery light on at any time? Have you had the alternator checked? Any new Audio equipment installed recently? The fact that it runs with the battery cables off tells me the Alternator is probably doing it's job. If nothing has been added to the car that could cause battery drain when...

    Looking For Another Gt

    Well I made my move, I ended up with a Black 2010 GT 5spd. Seems the last year of the 3v was their best at least at 315HP. I would have loved to had a 5.0L under the hood but I would have had to finance the rest as I paid straight up for the car and right now we are also in the process of buying...

    Clutch Pedal Vibration Please Help

    Yea, I went down this road with my 2000 last year. The first clutch I put in and I had the vibrating clutch pedal. We are not the first people to deal with this. Eventually the TOB will anialate itself and you will be back in. I'm still not 100% sure what made mine do it but the second time...

    2011 Mustang Gt Insurance

    I will add to this post since I just added the 2010 I bought and my insurance as a whole increased by 243.00. This is with Allstate and I have a spotless driving record and have had them for over 16 years. I was actually surprised because back in 2013 when I bought my Tacoma it went down to...
