    Professional Products Throttlebody/Plenum....Any good?

    Not sure about the quality of PP, but it looks like a good deal. I just installed the Trick Flow plenum & throttle body and also had to drill out for the cable, so it looks like they all have the same problem. Other than that have not had any other problems. Just check the fit before you...

    Larger Throttle Body & Plenum - JLT CAI

    Car is a cruiser, but I take it to work once a week when the weather is good. Trip is 40 miles all highway. Will probably stick with the 3.73's. Any experience with the Tuner? Is it worth the $379? Was looking at the package deals at AM has for the gears & tuner.

    Quick Advice on 04 GT

    Some good advice from the others. I was like you when searching for my Mustang. Wanted an unmolested car with low miles. I was tired of driving hours to look at junk that was abused. Paid about $1000 more than the average Mustang at that time, but found an '03 with only 28K. Scrolling thru...

    Welcome back! I'm 56, glad to see there's others in my age bracket on this forum. Best forum around for honest info and good advice. Wish my '03 had your set up:(

    Larger Throttle Body & Plenum - JLT CAI

    That's great. I just bought the same set up last week, but haven't installed it yet. Couldn't beat the price plus had a discount from AM. Next upgrade is the 3.73 FR gears and a tuner when I get the car back on the road in the spring. Future will be cams and upgraded exhaust system when I...

    Larger Throttle Body & Plenum - JLT CAI

    Thanks for all the feedback! Going to start with the gears for now as that seems to be a popular upgrade on the forum and take it one project at a time. Checked with 2 local shops - one was $295 and the other $350 for the install. Does that sound about right? Any preference as to what brand...

    Larger Throttle Body & Plenum - JLT CAI

    Looking at buying a 70 or 75 mm throttle body and plenum for my relatively stock '03 GT. Approx. cost is $300 from AM. Is this worth the money for the minimum gains on a stock car? Many mixed reviews posted. Car is stock 5 speed with only Flowmaster exhaust, BBK CAI - 30,000 miles. Long...

    how much should i list this stuff for?

    I just sold my '03 stock grille w/pony on e-bay for $40. Good place to search prices, just watch the shipping for any heavy items if you go this route.

    Upgrade my 2003 GT

    Thanks for the input everyone. Did some thinking and I think I'll hold out for the 5.0 in 2-4 years. An upgrade to the S197 would only get me 40 HP while the 5.0 would increase it by 150 HP. Based on what I saw in auto trader a GT/CS in the same condition would cost 10-15K more than my '03 is...

    Upgrade my 2003 GT

    Giving serious thought of selling my '03 GT with only 32,000 miles that is basically stock and in mint condition. Looking at a 2007-2009 GT with low miles, preferably a California Special model. Any input on going over to the newer model? What are the benefits the '07 - '09 has over the '99...

    Fathers Day

    Your Dad would be proud! My son and 4 year old Grandson come with me to many car shows and my grandson loves to drive in my '03 GT. We will be going to the all Ford show and all Mustang show coming up at Summit Racing Equip. here in Ohio. He can already name almost any sports car on the road...

    Need a replacement K&N filter #

    Not sure what the part number is, but K&N air filters are lifetime parts. They sell a cleaner/recharge kit for about $15 vs. about $45 for the filter. If you go on the K&N website it shows how to clean & restore the filter. If you want to replace the filter I would think any Auto parts store...

    Spoiler - Help me decide

    Same as the previous two postings. Don't care for the no spoiler look. I think the spoiler adds to the look!

    Good deal on Stang?

    I would say the price is high, but you get what you pay for. If it is from a reputable car dealer I would think about 8-8.5K would be fair. Steer clear of the local budget lots. I was like you looking for a clean low mileage GT. Most of the ones I looked at with higher mileage were beat. If...

    Just Need to Vent

    Winter sucks!!! Just sitting here staring at my car parked under cover in the garage for the long Ohio winter. 20 degrees and 6 inches of snow on the ground. Browsing the sight and really envious of all the warm weather people that are still driving their cars. Well at least it is something...

    RIMS

    Not a fan of black wheels, but thats just me. I would prefer the Saleens in chrome. The ones you picked are the best of the bunch if your hooked on black.

    My baby was hit yesterday

    Hope everything works out. I found out the hard way. Many companies like Safeco offer State Minimum Insurance. I had my Mazda 6 totaled last year and in Ohio the minimum coverage per accident is $7500. My Insurance company had to sue the owner for the balance of the claim which was another...
