    Tire pressure warning light?

    From what I have heard / read: The sensor itself is mounted to the rim with a metal strap. That strap needs to be cut to remove the sensor from the rim and transfer it. The straps are not reusable so you would need to order new ones, but the sensors themselves can be moved. Ford sells...

    Tire pressure warning light?

    The scheduled release of the TPM for the Mustang was 2006. For "unknown" reasons, the launch of TPM was postponed until 2007 though. So in the insturment clusters of the 06 Mustangs you can see the indicator symbol. However, it's not hooked up and never illuminates when you first switch the...

    New Accessories for 07

    Yup, you can now Factory order the Full Car cover (at least on the website) with your new car. I'd be interested to see what it looks like and how many layers it has but that car cover is very temping.

    Tire pressure warning light?

    TPM (tire pressure monitoring) was mandated by the federal government after the Ford Explorer / Firestone Tire incident. Starting in 2007 all new vehicles sold needed to be equiped with this capability. The 20005 - 2006 models did not have it.

    2008 Bullitt info?

    There isn't any offical information on the next special edition beyone the Shelby GT. We are getting close to the autoshow season though, so maybe we'll get a sneak peak at Fords future plans.

    Engineering Semester project, help? ideas?

    Here is some basic stuff on Pulleys... It should give you a few ideas. It would be pretty cool if you threw in a block to hold the rope (thus holding the weight in the air) Edit: forgot the link http://www.swe.org/iac/lp/pulley_03.html And another good page with some forumation stuff...

    S197 Mustang ||| Black Box?

    First, it's not a dirt bike. It is a privilege to drive a car, not a right Second the device is only there to record data when you are involved in an accident. If you don't do "stupid" things on the road, there is nothing to worry about. A few years ago a Mustang GT crashed on I-696...

    S197 Mustang ||| Black Box?

    That is a great point... Ford was just fined 15 MILLION dollars because of the following: 16 year old male driver, Passing at 65+ MPH around a posted 35MPH corned [obvious no passing zone here] // the driver lost control trying to avoid oncoming traffic, drove off the road and then rolled...

    S197 Mustang ||| Black Box?

    Another part (that I left out) is that all manufacturer's are being directed to indicate on the window sticker if a 'black box' exists in said vehicle. I don't know if that is the same for cars that are being sold today though.

    GT-H on ebay

    I thought that all of the Hertz cars were going to be sold at public auctions, but I read that last year when these things were first coming out.

    GT-H on ebay

    It's kind of early for these to be on eBay isn't it? It's kind of strange to think that some people would really spend that kind of money on a used Mustang, thinking that it'll be an instant classic just because they paid (right now) nearly 100K dollars for it.

    S197 Mustang ||| Black Box?

    Over the next 2 years every single car that is built and sold in the U.S.A. will need to have a Event Data Recorder. Similar to a "Black Box" on commercial air liners but they do not record your voice. Only a few seconds before and after a crash to determine speed, steering wheel postion, gas...

    ordered pulley from FFI never delivered

    You can still get a hold of your bank and get them to reverse the payment. The Debit feature is similar to a credit card. It's strange that you never got your pulley though.

    Where is the cheapest place to get this book?

    Not really on rebuilding the 5.0, but it explains a whole lot of tuning and performance methods. It is a great book and very worthy of being read from start to finish.

    Yeah, wouldn't it be easiest to see what the firing order of the cam is befor trying to decipher the stampings?

    Experience with ceramic coatings...good and bad for ya.

    You Canadians are smarter than us 'Mericans though... We still can't figure out if a UFO really crashed back in the 40's (Roswell) BTW - I burnt my pinky finger on a turkey roster this weekend. But I did make a killer sandwich with the leftovers.

    Man send me a PM. I've got a copy in my library and don't have a Mustang to use it on.

    Convertible Top Replaced, now a question

    The top will stretch out over the next couple of months (weeks). The installer probably had to warm up the top to just get it installed in the first place. :) Be glad that they got it nice and tight, because there is nothing worse than a Convertible top "billowing" in the wind when you...
