    05+ UK SVA conversion kit?

    The approved ones are on this thread (although someone has expressed at least one concern about Mildenhall though I suspect that may have been an early conversion before everyone was up to speed). http://www.s197.co.uk/s197/forum/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=289 When you come to sell your...

    High gas prices, thoughts on using Toluene to boost octane

    Your expensive gas prices are so cheap, it's laughable. If I lived over there. I'd run a couple of V10s just to make myself feel good. We are now paying the equivalent of $2.24 for a liter of gas in the UK as well as 17.5% tax on everything.

    05+ UK SVA conversion kit?

    There is no such thing as a UK conversion kit. The stock headlamps will pass SVA as the headlamp beam is a flat pattern, not a dip but avoid the HIDs as I believe you have to have washers and the Stang doesn't. The rear lights have to be converted to incorporate an orange indicator and you...

    Return of the 5.0 Mustang

    There is no inevitability about hybrid or electric vehicles. Nobody is forcing you to buy them. Don't buy them and they won't be economically viable to produce. They aren't even clean over a full life-cycle. Take the words of Dylan Thomas as your anthem: Do not go gentle into that good...

    Supercharged Emblem Location

    As I'm in work, I can't actually help as I can't see photos as they stop them downloading. I use Range Rover badges (bought off ebay) and chose to put them on the fenders and the trunk lid: I put the one on the trunk in that position as I was going on to fit an SHR panel on the back (and...

    Octane vs milage

    Is that right? Over here in the UK, TOTAL sell 97 octane fuel (your 91-93) and GUARANTEE better mpg. I always understood that it had a higher energy value.

    1st time at the track

    Worth shallow staging too which means you stage just as the light comes on - it means your car is a fraction further back and so the car is already moving when the beam breaks and the time starts. When you're talking 1/10ths of a second, it all helps. Haven't dragged the Stang yet but my Z28...

    tighter steering and suspension for 08

    Certainly lower the car because lowering the centre of gravity will cut the roll and lowering springs are usually a bit stiffer. Springs like Roush retain some height and comfort, others are more extreme. Firmer dampers will also assist in reducing roll and also stop the rising and falling...

    What is the general consensus about Vortech

    I have the HO Vortech and yes, one of the reasons was that it was cheaper even than a Roushcharger for a claimed 462hp. It's my first supercharger so I can't make a direct comparison although I've had turbos in the past and I think the turbo comparison is a proper one. The first thing...

    Supercharger efficiency ques.

    Depends on the tune. My 05 with HO Vortech is as economical as stock but higher octane gas gives you more mpg anyway as it contains more energy in effect.

    American Muscle Bullit Wheel Finish and Seal Failures

    You wouldn't buy one of these: and expect it to match Mercedes quality just because it looks like one. ;)

    April 1 option available

    If you left the car for too long and clicked "Start", it wouldn't. However, by clicking on Control Panel and changing the Background, you could change the view out of the window to a Hawaiian beach.

    08 Mustang- Is a Bullitt worth it?

    I'd skip the Deluxe whatever happens as the interior really does need all the interior upgrade help it can get. I'm fairly sure the Bullitt suspension is the same as the SGT ie FRPP.

    Just got an 07 GT

    Very nice. It's a color that photos don't seeem to do justice to.

    Need help again

    As far as I know, the Shelby GT has the lowered FRPP suspension and the GT500 has stock suspension, possibly with stiffer springs which is why it rides as high as stock. However, if anyone knows better.... As for used suspension, do you have any proof of that and what was the charge for it...
