    First Snow

    Yeah, you guys got hammered....... I really LOVE the snow. I live in Columbus, Ohio and its funny that we usually don't get much accumulation in or near the city. But if you drive 15 minutes in any direction outside of the outerbelt, there is over an inch on the ground. In high school when...

    First Snow

    I grew up in upstate NY, where they don't measure snow in inches, but in feet. My birthday is in February, so I literally learned to drive with over a foot of snow on the ground. The Mustang really doesn't do that bad. Its definately better than my old '90 LX 5.0. I drove it all but 2 days...

    First Snow

    Well, today was the first significant snow that my Mustang has seen this winter. I drove about an hour away from home and back in the snow. It wasn't too bad, but my back tires are about bald, so I took my time and was very careful. I'm hoping to be getting a toyota 4x4 in the next week or so so...

    Annoying Temperature Gauge (2005 V-6)

    Yeah, these cars definately have their share of "issues". Some of them are minor annoyances, others are flat out :bs: that Ford could continue to have the problem, and refuse to take care of it (like the water issue). Luckily, I do all of my own work on my car, and I bought it with the idea of...

    New Clutch Needed.

    I would really like to do a billet flywheel as well....but it definately adds to the cost.... I have used several Centerforce clutches without any problems, BUT I have also heard horror stories of people hearing a rattling sound, and then finding the weights rattling around inside the...

    Annoying Temperature Gauge (2005 V-6)

    It's probably a bad stepper motor...see a similar issue with a fuel gauge in this thread: http://www.stangnet.com/mustang-forums/802411-fuel-gauge-problems.html I have problems with my speedo sticking when its cold out.

    Fuel gauge problems

    I haven't had any problems with my fuel gauge (yet), but I have had problems with the speedo, which also uses a stepper motor. The speedo sometimes sticks... either at 0, or sometimes it will say that I'm doing 90 when I'm only doing 65. Also, at rest, it reads about 5MPH. It mainly sticks when...

    New Clutch Needed.

    So, Walter..... I've been CLUTCHING this thread, waiting to see what you decided :rlaugh: Did you end up changing your clutch, and if so, which one did you go with? Did you also do a flywheel? I'll be needing to change mine before too long, and hoping to get some ideas.

    Yeah, sorry for hijacking your thread..... Here's my thoughts..... Magnaflow Tru-X X-Pipe (Catted) I've heard that people like these, but have no experience with them. Like Walter said, mainly for sound. Borla Stinger S-Type Catback (05-09 GT) Again, no experience.....I have the...

    Pony black out

    Looks good Patrick. :nice: I hate chrome too, and am going to do something with mine. I'm looking into black chrome or black nickel plating for the pony, faux gas cap, and GT emblems. I think that it would match my mineral grey car better then gloss black.

    Take that elitist prius drivers

    Yes, you're right Walter, that the problem is not with the cars, but the people who think that just because they drive one they are better then everyone else and deserve special treatment. And that is why I will protest every time that I go to that building and park in one of those spots. There...

    Take that elitist prius drivers

    Yeah, and the sad thing is that some of the most fuel efficent cars are not even available in the U.S. There are diesel cars that get 80+ MPG, but because of the anti-diesel sentiment of the U.S.,they are not allowed to be imported. I have nothing against wanting to save fuel, or wanting to...

    Odd Question: LED Taillight fans?

    Thanks for the links.....those are pretty pricey, but if you figure the price of a sequencial light kit plus the price of LED bulbs, its not too bad if it works. Plus not having to replace the bulbs so often would make it worth it to me.....

    Odd Question: LED Taillight fans?

    I have to disagree on this one. Not only is bulb life an issue, but LEDs are much brighter and have much quicker response times. Also, Incandesents draw ALOT of current and produce alot of heat. My ex gf had a 96 mustang. One day when trying to leave work, she could not get the car to go out of...

    Odd Question: LED Taillight fans?

    Yeah, LED turn signals need loading resistors to keep from flashing fast. The resistors usually get pretty warm when in use, but I don't like the idea of using a fan like that, especially since it would be on the outside of the light housing and in a place where it can get wet. A better option...

    Here's a perfect example of the type of jeeper that I'm talking about. I had to pull this guy out after he took his dads stock jeep into the river without paying attention to how deep it was. The motor was hydralocked, and all he kept saying is "my dad is gonna' kill me" :rlaugh:

    Upgrade Advice - Tuner and CAI

    Well, I did have the hard top and everything for it, but the heater in that thing wouldn't even defrost the windows, much less keep the occupants warm. Plus with an old unsynchronized 3 speed transmission, and a 6 cylinder "tractor motor" top speed was about 50MPH, downhill with a strong tail...

    Upgrade Advice - Tuner and CAI

    Yeah, I traded my 1973 FJ40 Land Cruiser on 35s for a '95 Wrangler. My wife couldn't drive the 'Cruiser and it sucked in the winter because it basically had no heat. I have never been a big fan of Jeeps (well, to be more accurate, some Jeep owners) because they would come to offroad events where...

    I have an SCT Livewire and Brenspeed 93 Octane tune. I am VERY happy with it. I like being able to monitor and datalog different paramaters with the livewire, and having a shift light and my speed displayed on the unit so that I don't have to look down at the (inaccurate) speedometer is nice too.
