    Water 4 Gas - does this work?

    A scientist opined that it takes more energy to split the water molecule into it's component parts than you could ever hope to gain. I have a few containers of snake oil you can add to your tank though, that really does work. As for oil dependency, it's easy enough to tax water too. Look...

    Corsa exhaust?

    Yes. If you shop round, you can get them for far less - more like $550. Secondly, I had Corsas on mine to begin with but while they sound quite deep, the carbon soon builds up and they sound a little too quiet IMHO but they do offer no drone. Downside is they add around 10lbs in weight and I...

    Metco Motorsports

    Got a reply and hopefully a resolution. Metco have come back with this reply: "We have found that the suspension design used on the 2005 and newer Mustang can be fairly hard on bushings, and that even high-quality polyurethane bushings may fail after a period of time. Shortly after our...

    2010 Stang GT ordering 11/10/2008 Date

    Amazing how no-one knows about the new Mustang but people seem to know everything about the Camaro right down to the weight.....

    New old guy here, basic Qs

    I think the digital readout comes as part of the 6 instrument/MyColor interior upgrade package. The Premium steering wheel is fairly essential. the plastic one on the Deluxe is pretty awful.

    Metco Motorsports

    Thanks for that. The website has come back up now so I've e-mailed them but after 3 years, I'm not expecting great things so will look at the J&M and BMR stuff before I'm driven insane by that constant squeaking.

    Metco Motorsports

    Are they still trading? Had some billet LCAs from them in 2005 but the car has done very few miles (still only 9000). Since Day One I've had creaking like a wooden galleon. Tended to loosen, tighten, grease the hell out of them with synthetic white grease, you name it I did it, sometimes it...

    20 inch wheel Question

    I have 20 x 9 on the front of mine wearing 275/35s and 20 x 10.5 out back wearing the same. No rubbing issues at either end. Lowered on Roush springs/Tokico d-Specs.

    The spoilerstore??? EBAY

    I live in the UK and last year paid $150 and $160 shipping and it was STILL a bargain. I can't believe they are down to under $90! Despite travelling 5000 miles, the spoiler arrived in perfect condition. The paint was a perfect match and the finish a match for Ford's paint any day of the...

    Dspec issue's

    If they try to do this, I suggest you shoot them. Lowering the car causes the wheels to move up into the wheelarch along it's arc of movement so the top of the wheel tips in. If you look at the bottom of the struts, you'll see the strut bolts which hold the spindle of the wheel hub. Fitting...

    CORROSION!!!

    It's a known common fault. I believe it's caused by the welds on the aluminium hood reacting.

    new 08 mustang! 17 yr. old girl...pink pinstriping?

    Whatever you do to the car, just bear in mind that stuff like pink pinstriping may make the car harder or even impossible to sell further down the line because you start drastically cutting your pool of potential buyers and the ones that are left will drive the price down. Just stick with...

    Challenger vs Bullitt

    Camaro you mean ... :rolleyes: Yeah, I mean I'd be so unhappy to be seen in this - no link to the '69 Camaro there at all. :rolleyes: The thing with most muscle cars is they rarely look that good without the war paint and a V8 sound track. Looks is indeed half the battle but a 6.0 V8 is...

    How is 2007+ different from other 2005+

    AC control knobs that don't pull off. Silver Horse still do billet replacements but it's harder to change them. 3.55 rear end was stock on the 2005 before it became an option.

    SHR Brushed Aluminum Billet Fuel Door ?

    I don't like the styling conflict of having a gas door AND a fake gas cap on the back. I love the look of the polished doors but would remove the fake gas cap and put an insert in there. I think polished looks best. Having gone for an SHR brushed billet rear medallion for a Mach 1 look, I wish...

    Struts and shocks, input please,,,

    I have the D-Specs over Roush springs and get a good quality ride. I elected to stick with the stock sway bars and found that on the mid-setting, the car was fine but maybe a little soft for fast roadwork so I turned the D-Specs to one turn off hardest all round and have never revisited them...

    05+ UK SVA conversion kit?

    Surrey Mustangs (formerly Godden Bishop) will also come to you. A recent quote I saw to remedy the wiring on badly SVA'd Mustangs was around £600 so I assume that a full conversion wouldn't be too much more than that. The Euro-style rear lights can be bought off ebay.co.uk for around £130 a pair.

    High gas prices, thoughts on using Toluene to boost octane

    Very true. It cost me £60 (about $120) to fill the Mazda 5 the other day but then I do have an orchard of money trees in the back garden. :rlaugh:
