    Water leaking in. Where is it coming in from?

    Exactly, ^^^^^^ that is most likely the problem. Very common for debris to get in there and clog the drains. This means your cabin filter probably got wet too so it's ready for the trash can.

    13.90.....a big mahalo to stangnet!

    No offense but a 13.8 in a "bone stock" 1990 5.0 is just about impossible :bs: Not enough stock HP, torque or rear gear to make that happen.

    Squeaky brakes on '07..

    Provided the pads are not worn down to the wear tab, most brake "squeeks" are the result of the back side of the pads vibrating against the caliper retaining plate or pistons. I would remove the pads and apply a thin coat of "anti-squeek" (available from any auto parts store) or a thin coat of...

    Got some Red

    Looks good! I torque my wheels at 100 ft lbs which I believe is also the factory recommendation.

    which one would you have and why?

    Ford GT without a doubt :nice: The original Ford GT40 was and is the most beautiful car ever designed and the new Ford GT did a very good job of honoring the original.

    Buying Sequential taillights,Where?

    I installed Web Electrics 2 years ago and I've had zero problems and they work great. It is a very high-quality kit, very much OEM type.

    Bad idea for removing water spots.

    +1 on Lucas Slick Mist, it is the best product on the market.

    Pony Thief... (Dark Horse)

    I like the black Pony but it's too bad you can't remove that big old Virginia license plate from the front while you're at it :D Maybe move to a "rear plate only" state and that black pony grill will look great!

    Oil additives

    No offense but Carrol Shelby would put his name on cat pooh if there was a $ to be made. Z-Max and all the other additives are just snake oil. If you are using a name brand full synthetic oil that is all your engine needs.

    Service Engine Light

    Most likely a loose gas cap and if so it will clear the code itself after a couple starts and stops with a tight cap. If not, any OBDII scanner will clear the code, even the ones you use at Auto Zone or AAP's.

    MUSTANG WINS! - Car and Driver front page!

    So I just got my July issue of Car and Driver and the front cover is "MUSTANG WINS! Beats Chevy + Dodge With Less Power" with a photo of a 315 hp 2010 Mustang GT with a 426 hp Camaro and a 376 hp Challenger in the background. Inside they do a complete comparison and the Mustang wins big...

    HELP!!! STRUT TOWER BOLT SHEARED

    Then you have a brand new defective torque wrench. Borrow or buy a good one before you try it again. 26 ft/lbs would NOT have snapped those bolts......simply impossible. You were applying way too much torque, that is what broke the bolts. The Loctite had nothing to do with your problem. You need...

    HELP!!! STRUT TOWER BOLT SHEARED

    Are you positive you used "Medium Strength" Loctite? I have never had a bolt break from removing a nut that was sealed with medium strength Loctite and I've been using it for many years. It sounds like you may have used high-strength instead.

    "Hey wait, Japans buying these things."

    Well, now that the OP explained his original comment, here is my response: I don't see any of the Toyota, Honda, Nissan styling in the 2010 Mustang. In fact, I think the Mustang has zero resemblance to those makes. LED tail lights are just a better and safer technology, not 'ricer'. Would you...

    Octane Boost

    Real simple answer.....don't use octane boost. It can foul your plugs and cause sensor problems as well. It's just "snake oil" :notnice:

    Polish and wax

    Lucas Slick Mist Another vote for Lucas Slick Mist. The stuff is amazing :nice: It sprays on like a detailer but gives the feel and look of a paste wax. I had been using Meguires Ultimate Detailer but Slick Mist beats it hands down.
