    Gt 500

    A used GT500 is gonna run you over 30k. I agree with the new 5.0 idea. Your can get a used 2011 for about 20k, maybe less. I had this same dilemma a while back. My bank account made the decision for me: keep the 96 GT. Off topic...What air frame do you work?

    Thoughts On

    Honestly, if you do that you're gonna look like one of those import guys driving their Honda's around with that "work in progress" look that they think is so cool. Might as well hang a stuffed panda from your rear bumper too...

    Suspension Groan Not Squeek From Front End

    I agree. Ball joints. I just had the same symptoms a few months ago and that fixed it. Just rent a ball joint press from autozone. Also, use a hand torch to heat ball joint shaft and spindle will come off much easier.

    Screeching Noise (96 Gt)

    Yep. I knew I would have to drop the tranni if that was the problem. Might as well replace the whole clutch and flywheel. Oh well.... I have a three day weekend and a garage....and beer :cheers: Any decent write-ups out there for a clutch swap?

    Screeching Noise (96 Gt)

    My 96 GT is making a very loud, high pitch screeching sound only when the clutch is disengaged (clutch pedal pressed in). The clutch does not seem to be slipping even while going downhill. The noise goes away once the clutch is engaged. This happens in every gear and in neutral. I'm thinking...

    A/c "popping"....??

    I've noticed lately that on really hot days when I start my car and turn the A/C on, I hear a large "POP" from under the hood. It happens pretty much every time I turn on the A/C but it always happens just one time and never again until the car has been off and cooled down and then started...

    What Size Wheels/tires On An Aero Style?

    Oh ok. Didn't know you had a mystic. But yeah chrome is the only way to go with that paint color.

    Odometer stopped working.

    Just to update. The new gear works great. Recently drove her from GA to UT in 3 days and had no problems. I can't think of anything else the would cause ONLY the odo to stop working other than the motor so definitely take it apart again and keep trying of the gear didn't fix it. You said the old...

    What Size Wheels/tires On An Aero Style?

    315's will fit and look awesome. But I think they only fit on 17x10.5. I think on 18x10's the biggest you can go is 305. Someone correct me if I'm wrong. For looks it depends...If I did chrome, I would go with Saleen or cobra wheels. But on mine I think I'll be going with black FR500's with the...

    Just Moved. Looking For A Tuner.

    OOPS! Haha thanks for pointing that typo out. Fixed. Waiting for someone to say "what's his name?" And yeah that's one of the reasons I'm looking for a tuner. My car was originally from West Virginia and I've been stationed in South GA for 3 years. Now I'm in SLC so a tune would probably be good.

    Just Moved. Looking For A Tuner.

    Yeah I was thinking that. I'll probably be having them do my paint and body work anyway, so they might know someone. I just find it frustrating that I can't just google "Mustang tuning shop salt lake city" and get some results. Edit: Wow, I get posts on my post count for posting in the talk...

    What Size Wheels/tires On An Aero Style?

    It depends on what you want out of them. If you want mostly good looks, IMO nothing beats 18x9 in the front and 18x10 DD in the back. If you want the best traction for the 1/4, I'd go with 17x9 front and 17x10.5 rear. For better handling, I'd go with 17x9 front and rear. So the question is do...

    Just Moved. Looking For A Tuner.

    So I just left the Air Force and joined the Utah Air National Guard so I could finally move out here and be with my fiancee. I like Salt Lake City. There is a ton to do here. However, I haven't been able to find any reputable Mustang tuning shops around here. There is a big race track and a drag...

    Confession- I used to be a ricer...

    I wasn't really a ricer, but I did have a 96 Blazer that I put flowmasters and euro tail lights on. I also put four 12" subs with a 2000w amp in it along with neon lighting inside. So that was kind of ricey.

    Odometer stopped working.

    I haven't gotten the part in the mail yet, but I'm sure it will fix it. I love the sound of my catted x-pipe. A lot of people will tell you that an x-pipe is more raspy, but with the high-flow cats and straight-through mufflers it sounds very deep and smooth. I think it's the perfect setup...

    Should I use Mobil 1 motor oil?

    I used to use Mobil 1 and my car was burning about a half-quart or so between changes. I switched to Royal Purple and now I'm going 5k+ miles between changes with not a drop burned. My vote goes to RP.
