    tuner memory and ECU

    Thanks for the replies all.... figured that the dealer was basically saying "go wild", but I wanted to make sure. It's nice to hear the the computer doesn't really have a memory. Anybody else want to chime in on the half hour "magic number" to be sure it's cleared? Or is it OK as soon as I...

    New 07 GT is home, but....

    I almost bought my car in Grabber Orange, but I decided on the Vista blue. I sometimes wish that I had bought the orange one.... I'm happy with my personal desicion, but I'll tell you what I've seen around here.... Every single grabber orange car I've seen in the city has black stripes. They...

    Kid wants a Mustang

    Living in richmond VA, I have no problem telling bums that I don't have any change for them, despite the fact that they and I can hear it jingling in my pocket. If the kid wants a mustang, he should earn it. I cut my teeth on a POS mazda for 9 years until I could afford my new GT. nobody...

    tuner memory and ECU

    So, after speaking to my dealer at length about modifying my brand new car with warranty, he tells me that their official position on covering it under warranty. He tells me that nothing will void the warranty, unless I modify the computer or clutch.... those will void it. I don't want to...

    Leather arm rest cover

    Sorry, but I've got to say that their fit and finish looks pretty awful. Nice design on the parts. but all those wrinkles, folds, and whatnot would turn me off to their parts. I do like the looks of the tan and black shift boot, but it just looks like it doesn't fit properly. In the end, if...

    Options

    When I first bought my 07 GT, the seat belt annoyed me for the first hour total of driving the car. After that, I hardly realize now that I have to reach back for it. Granted, I'm pretty short (I'm 5'6" on a good day), yet I can reach the belt with no issues, and now I don't even think about...

    Latest Mods and random pics

    Looks really nice man, I LOVE that hood, and I think the smoked lenes work really well with your black car. Plus, I've always been a sucker for darker rims with a deep polished lip.... those wheels are nice! Only thing I personally would complain about (if it were my car), is the grill. In...

    Backfiring

    Even in my stock 07 GT, I hear some pops and "backfires" when coming to a stop or decelerating in gear. Pretty normal with a more agressive cam overlap. Most modern cars will do it, but they muffle the exhaust so well that you rarely hear it. With a free-er flowing exhaust like ours, it will...

    Functional Quarter Window Scoops!

    No, I completely understand your point, I also hate fake crap stuck on the outside of a car. I admire your work, and your effort. It's a beautiful piece, and I would put it on my car if it were available for sale. I guess that I meant that I didn't understand the point of making them. I'd...

    My updated Mustang pics... *DUW*

    I personally don't like the spoiler that much, but thast's just me. It really matters what you think. I specifically got my GT without a wing, just because I like the clean look without one. But again, that's just me. I do like the rear window louvers though.... I've been eyeing a few...

    Functional Quarter Window Scoops!

    Very, VERY nice fabrication, and nicely excecuted. But, I personally don't see the point. I rarely have people in the back seat, and this isn't a race car that needs the ventilation. But that's just my $0.02. Killer job though, looks really nice! I wish my metal skills were that good...

    Factory keyless/alarm problems??

    I haven't had any problems with the keyless remotes, except for the fact that I think the "panic" button is WAY too easy to press. I find myself accidentally setting it off all the time when reaching for the lock button. But your problem sounds similar to one I had with my old viper alarm...

    Vid of my exhaust

    I can't tell if it's poor sound quality on the video, or if I just don't like it. I'm sure it sounds much better in person. Nice gloss on that black paint though!

    Western Motorsports CAI installed!!!!!

    I personally wouldn't install that. It seems like it could be a lot more user friendly, and avoid splicing the wires. I've install my fair share of audio components, and done my fair share of electrical work, but they typically don't dictate how the car runs. The splicing of the wires, and...

    Startup noise -- not much mentioned tapping

    I haven't noticed that particular noise, but I do notice that my car sounds completely different when it is below 40° outside. Despite the fact that I'm totally stock, I find that the engine is much deeper and raspy in cold temps, and sounds more like sixties iron than a modern day car. As...

    Weird Question -- Funny Smell?

    Well, I smell something burning everytime I get out of the car.... although with only 421 miles on it, I assume it's just the header coating/ typical break in smell. But with almost 29k on it, you shouldn't be smelling anything other than maybe exhaust. All that I could think to check would be...

    i cant help it

    I haven't noticed any odd noises coming from the engine, in fact, I think the engine sounds quite good in stock form. Granted, my last car was a 98 hp POS that sounded like a retarded monkey with lung problems, but still. My 07 GT sounds every bit as good in the drivers seat as my friend's 70...

    Question about downshifting with TR-3650

    I've never had a problem downshifting at all, especially if you match the revs. I do find the shifter to be a bit notchy at times, but I've never had a problem getting into a lower gear. I understand the reasoning behind downshifting, but are you using this just to slow down the car in a...

    better traction, rear wheels, and ETC

    Thanks for the replies all, but what I'm really wondering is if the TPM light will come on, even if I do switch the sensors over. The way I understand it, the computer reads the rotational velocity of each sensor, and if one is slower than the rest, it will turn on the light. This is because a...
