    Not mustang, but need help with my assistants car

    I have an assistant who constantly locks her keys in her car and or leaves her lights on. It is 10 year old or so cavalier. Are there not plug ins that will chime if either is left in or on? I'm trying to get her into a mustang, she almost broke when she saw a yellow convertable. thanks in...

    KB vs whipple which will "grow" better with the car

    I'm just back from a car show in MA. Lots of nice mustangs, the options boggled my mind! I have an 06 GT and want to put a blower on it. I have come down to a KB or a whipple. I will eventually rebuild the bottom end of my car (it has 20K on it now). I would like a blower that will...

    scratched the roof to protect the visor

    Yes, my door did come down on the car, but bounced back up when it felt the resistance. It could have been much worse. I just have never known this to happen to anyone and it is funny to me that I baby this car. Why couldn't it have been my wife's car or my old truck?? Doc

    scratched the roof to protect the visor

    I keep the door opener in the seat next to me. I'm leaving today with my son in back, reach for the opener and put it in the cup holder. I now hear a scrape when I back out of the garage. I must have clicked it when I put it down. The scratches are not deep, will more than likely buff out. I...

    tire suggestions and how many miles did you pirrelli's last?

    I have 20k on my tires that came with the car in late 2005 on a gt that was not beat on. The dealer (now) is telling me what lousy tires they are... I was going to look at cooper b/c that is what roush is using, what all are the rest of you using for a daily driver with stock rims? Thanks...

    more supercharger (twin screw) questions

    My budget will grow as the years go buy, I am planning on this car for years to come. I want to go as far as I can with the car, and know that will mean a better bottom end, etc. This is why I don't want to waste 6k on the wrong system. It seems that kb is the way to go. Why else would the...

    wow, thanks for your reply and information. I am going twin screw as I want the grunt off the line, as this is my daily driver (at least while the snow is away). You don't like the ford racing? It was that or kb. I am going to have to look for a place here in maine, or an easy drive into...

    more supercharger (twin screw) questions

    Sorry to ask more, seems we should have a sticky on all sc questions. I am now concentrating on the kd mammoth kit for my 06 gt. I will have the cash to up grade the bottom end, but would like a super charger now. The kb claims 775hp on a stock engine, what is with that?? Why does...

    Financial hardships...It is all going...

    Wow, sorry to hear that. Where did you get laid off from, what kind of truck did you buy and from where. What about picking up a beater stang until you get back on your fee. A mustang is a mustang and they all have their charms. At least you are looking forward to having 400 horses! best...

    thinking about a supercharger

    Ok, big question: What would you do with a stock engine to beef it up, to handle max power from a whipple or KB? Then what happens with the rear end? All of these questions are keeping me from putting a blower on my car. I don't want to blow the engine and then wish I'd put 3K into it BEFORE...

    who knows their american made trucks?

    What was the last year of a five speed 4 x4, on any american make. I just test drove an h3t with an auto, then found out the stick only comes with the smaller engine. I can't find even an option for a standard trans on a 4 x 4. I would go with a big six, as I have that on my 96 f-150, but I'd...

    I have the tungsten grey. When it is dirty it looks good, when it's clean it looks awesome. I don't have stripes, but I think they look great with this color. Only color for me. Doc

    what do you wash with besides lambs wool?

    I can't find a new mitt, and don't want to scratch my car. What all do you wash with? I have an auto zone, napa, etc in town. My car has no scratches or swirls, I have always used a lambs wool mitt. There must be something else that works as well. I'm still having good luck with the mr...

    off topic, bord related, re superchargers

    How many of you have autos with a supercharger? I am looking at a new truck, but it is an auto. What is the big differences compared with a stick? These are times I wish I drank instead of having the car bug. Thanks for the input, I'll let you know if I get the truck Doc

    I don't want to be "virgin of the Month" so I'll ask here

    I am looking at a built small block for an 06 gt, so I don't have to worry about blowing the engine with a super charger. I have done my share of car repairs, almost all on older british cars. I have replaced many engines and trannys, and rewired those cars. How hard is it for a weekend...
