    Eibach Spring Cracked!!

    Alright guys so since Eibach was kind enough to ship me a whole replacement pro kit I think it might not be a horrible time to start looking at new struts. Any suggestions for a good combo to go with my lowering springs. The car has roughly 90k on the odometer and I am assuming they are the...

    Eibach Spring Cracked!!

    So I lucked out. Eibach called me first thing this morning and is sending me an entire Pro Kit not just a replacement spring for the front driver side spring. Only down side is it is shipping via ground from CA and I am from Delaware so it looks like I am looking at 5 business days :/

    Eibach Spring Cracked!!

    While replacing the oil pan on my 2004 Mustang I noticed that the driver side spring is cracked! The car is my daily driver and I really don't want to have to buy one spring. I called and left a message with Eibach over the weekend explaining how displeased I was and plan to call them first...

    2 Broken Serpentine Belts in a Month ('04 Vortech)

    Thanks alot guys yea I wound up picking up another belt today, ordered a new tensioner from Ford, and am going to make sure I definitely have the correct spacing. I honestly think it was the broken tensioner that caused my belt to break. From the sounds of it a few of you other guys have...

    2 Broken Serpentine Belts in a Month ('04 Vortech)

    Christ on a bicycle! Honestly it is impossible to find the part number for a Gate's belt and if you are trying to look online for a belt that isn't stock OEM size forget autozone or pepboys or Napa's website. Anyone know the Gates part's number for a 108" serpentine belt

    2 Broken Serpentine Belts in a Month ('04 Vortech)

    Haha everyone I talk to keeps suggesting that I get a Gate's belt so that is exactly what I am going to do. Does any normal auto store Napa, Pep Boys, Autozone, etc. stock Gate's belts? Better news is that I think I may have found part of the problem. It appears after my first belt broke (I...

    2 Broken Serpentine Belts in a Month ('04 Vortech)

    Here is what I think it may be. I think my tensioner is working alright but when it first broke I asked a friend who put these kits in a lot to clarify the instructions (shown below). Vortech clearly specifies that on 2004 models you sandwich a .06" washer in place of the air conditioner...

    Terminator vs. Vortech GT who's faster?

    I made another pass with the car this time with NT555 (street tires). I went to a 10.5" rim out back with 315's. I only wound up making one pass but i knocked the time down to 12.9 @114 with a pretty crappy 2.0 60'. I did recently install a FMIC, 60 lb injectors, Vortech BOV, and blow through...

    2 Broken Serpentine Belts in a Month ('04 Vortech)

    Happy thanksgiving everyone. Hope everyone else's day is going better than mine. I put a Vortech on my '04 GT about 10000 miles ago and recently (after installing a FMIC) broke the serpentine belt. I replaced the belt making sure it was routed right and everything correctly in place but less...

    what is wrong with auto?

    No! Completely missing the point. If your automatic has a "manual" mode it is not manual! You need a clutch for it to be a stick. It is part of the driving experience.

    what is wrong with auto?

    I understand people get their feelings hurt when you say "An automatic is gay". The obvious rebuttal is that at the track you can get more performance out of an automatic. I guess that it is true with a shift kit, remapped shift points, or a higher stall but what is the point of driving? In...

    Boosted and Cooled

    Here is the link to the kit which was used. You do need to cut some of the piping but it is basically all that is necessary. I believe I needed an extra 90 degree silicone coupler and it would have been nice to have a few more hose clamps. But I was definitely happy with the kit...

    Install a FMIC without cutting the bumper support

    On the front picture above you can see two vertical supports painted black in front of the radiator. These attach to the top of the CX Racing Intercooler. I made them from 1" steel and than painted them. The intercooler fits almost perfectly in between the radiator and support once the power...

    Install a FMIC without cutting the bumper support

    Here are some pictures I will have more soon. Not the placement of the BOV did not require you to remove the coolant reservoir however I did make a brace out of steel to replace the one which previously attached under the radiator support.

    Install a FMIC without cutting the bumper support

    First of all some issues arose with the power steering lines which come in front of the radiator..... Here is what to do (hopefully I will have pictures shortly) The power steering line problem can be quickly fixed. From what my tuner told me you can basically do two things with the power...

    Install a FMIC without cutting the bumper support

    So I recently installed a FMIC to my Vortech S/C'd '04GT. I did so without cutting into my front bumper support. Most installs I see on Stangnet and other Mustang forums involve removing the front bumper cover and cutting the support. That adds time to the install as well as diminshes safety...

    Boosted and Cooled

    Obviously in the above picture (taken at AM show last weekend) I did not have my intercooler in. I will post more pictures once the weather improves. Please anyone with a similar set up post some HP numbers and dyno sheets if you have them.

    Boosted and Cooled

    So I just installed the FMIC on my '04GT and I want to know what you guys think of my numbers. Unfortunately I do not have any pictures with the FMIC installed due to the fact I live in Delaware and we are getting a lot of rain from Irene and the stang is outside. Here are my modifications...

    Those who are lowered with LT's

    Yea you definitely have to be careful. I feel like my mid pipe rubs first though. The key is definitely making sure you go slow over speed bumps or goofy train tracks. And as someone said in certain cases you need to go over bumps at an angle so you don't scrape. It is an awful sound. I...
