    My mechanic said: just deal with it (brakes)

    I get the same thing at lower speeds when driving conservatively. I've got this road bump that I have to go over coming back from work everyday - there's a stop sign about 100 ft. after the bump and I usually approach the bump ~ 30mph. If I brake before the bump and continue holding the brake...

    Here a clunk, there a clunk...

    I get the clunk a lot when I pop the clutch but more with the lower gears (eg. 1-3). I notice it happening a lot less (or a lot quieter) when shifting up to 4th or 5th. It sounds just like what's described and can be really (kind of embarrasingly) loud sometimes. Found that slipping the...

    Removing Bump Stops

    Read that you can also remove your rear bump stops, trim/cut off the lower portion as needed, and then re-install to put some more clearance between bump stops & bump plate on the body. I assume the bump stops are there for a reason so may not want to remove them if you can help it?

    Agent 47 Retro Race Mirrors Write-Up

    hey guys, i've been busy today putting these new mirrors on - i'm quite stoked :D. But I ran into a snag - I got the passenger side on pretty well but when I started on the drivers side and tried to pull the mirror out of the stock housing, I ended up tearing the motor into 2 pieces! I know, I...

    Lowering Springs for GT

    That's pretty sweet! Do you get either your front or rear tires rubbing against the body when you go over bumps? Doesn't look like there's much clearance in the rear. Are those wheels 19's?

    Tighten factory hood.

    After you guys adjusted the rubber stops do you still get the hood buffeting happening around 90+ mph? I don't get any noticeable buffeting around 60-70 mph that some people seem to get but around 90 mph it becomes pretty noticeable and at 100 mph I start to get scared :shock: If I continue...

    Lightweight Driveshaft Recommendations?

    I'm pretty sure the stock '09 GT's come with 3.31s. That + slow throttle response (not tuned yet) = me getting tired of getting beat at the light (during daily driving) . :mad: Who knows tho - it could just be my driving :shrug: I was thinking 3:73s because I was afraid the jump to 4:10s...

    2008 GT Exhaust Recommendation

    Don't mean to divert this thread too much with a side question - I know axle-backs don't give you HP gains but would cat-back systems typically give significant HP gains? I've seen cat-back exhaust systems advertised as providing HP gains but at the same time it seems that cat-backs are...

    Question about dynocharts & shift gears

    I've been reading up on dynochart and dynotuning and there's still one question that's been bugging me and I haven't figured out - all of the dynocharts I've seen so far display a number of trial runs or 'pulls'. Each pull has a HP plot and a Torque plot over the same RPM range. Why does each...

    Lightweight Driveshaft Recommendations?

    Hey guys - I've been researching different options for the first mod to my new '09 GT. :D Contrary to what most people seem to do, I've settled on not getting a CAI/tune until later down the road (probably 2nd or 3rd mod). I've decided to go for a set of rear gears and driveshaft swap first...

    Hey guys - just bought a new 2009 GT/CS a few months ago! :D I'm new to Mustangs and cars in general but i'v e been having a blast and am running the research on diff mods.
