    Auto vs. Manual

    Add 4.10's/shift kit/2600-2800 stall torque converter and you will beat the manual with an average driver and maybe even the good driver unless he to has 4.10's. :nonono:

    Having spoiler, and hood painted

    IMO do a low gloss black w/ clearcoat instead of a true flat black paint. You could also use a gloss black with a flatening agent w/ clearcoat for the same effect. ALso do the grill delete and Mach 1 chin spoiler if you haven't done so already as they look awesome with the partial blackout hood...

    Cold air induction - what do you think?

    What do you get with a cold air kit that I don't already have on my 2003GT? I'm not real mechanically inclined but looking under the hood it seems the air intake is routed to the fender for cold air already. I would then assume that adding a freer breathing filter is all you need. I am...

    Opinions on price...

    The gear/install prices are in line but the computer re-flash is way out of line if its for the speedo correction. I took my ECM out and sent it to Tim @ T&J performance and he did the re-flash for $109 including return shipping by next day air. Took the ECM out on Monday and it was back in the...

    what short throw to get?

    Pro 5.0 w/Steeda tri-ax shift handle here. Wanted the shorter throw of the Pro 5.0 without the noise of the Steeda but didn't like the short shift handle on the Pro 5.0.

    99+ side scoops, all the same? or different in 99?

    The 35th anniversary side scoops fit all 99-04 GT's. Just bought a pair side scoops (Saleen take offs) from Bruce @ fiveomotorsport.com. I got the same color as my car to avoid costly painting (painting is about $100-$125 with clear coat) and the parts were perfect as Bruce promised on the...

    best deal on 3.73's??

    Bought my Ford Racing 3.73's from www.johnbleakleyford.com for $137.50 (price is still good). Came with everything needed for the install since I also have a 2003 and nothing really needed replacing. :lol:

    Mach 1 shocks and H&R springs

    According to Tokico there is very little diference between the Mach 1 and Tokico blues (probably none if they say very little).They also claim that the Mach 1 shocks & struts should be good up to a 1.5" drop. There are guys out there running the H&R super sports & stock shocks with out any...

    Steeda billit window switch install

    Has anyone done this and how do you remove the old switches (or buttons)? Thought I'd ask before getting into another easy install that turns into a nightmare. :rolleyes:

    MagnaFlow or MagnaPACK..What's the differance?

    When you can buy the whole system for $328 shipped why bother with mufflers that will cost more than half that? My Magnaflows have been on for three months now and they are just right - not to loud & not to quiet with a nice deep tone. :banana:

    side scoop removal

    I took mine off a couple of weeks ago and wound up breaking some of the brackets on the back of the scoops. These brackets hold the christmas tree clips that secure the scoop to the body. Even after seeing what is back there I'm still not sure how you get them off without damage so maybe the...

    H&R supersports vs EIbach pro kit

    Does anybody know if there is a difference between the two in the ride? I'm leaning toward the H&R's as they lower the car 1/4" more and give it a little more rake. I just don't want a harsh ride.

    Pro 5.0 Install

    I just put my Pro 5.0 in a few weeks ago with the Steeda tri-ax shifter handle because I'm also 5'8". Now I have the best short throw shifter combined with the best handle out there. It doesn't get any better, just mount it on the driver side closer to you and it bolts on with out any...

    Grill delete question

    I just ordered the Steeda grill delete kit and was wondering if it is a good idea to spray the radiator flat black? Would it better the appearance and would it hurt the radiators cooling function?

    Need to remove computer (2003 GT)

    I need to remove the computer to send to T&J for speedo reflashing. I believe the computer is located behind the kick panel on the passenger side. My silly question is how to remove the kick panel so that I can get to the computer?

    Is there any difference in hoods?

    Any difference between the 2001GT and 2003GT hoods? I want to order a decal for my 2003GT hood but the web site says fits 1999-2001GT's.
