    fitted a GT strut brace....

    Red 98 - is it a brace thet ties into the firewall, or just goes between the struts? i think its because the GT brace ties the struts to the firewall that it made such a difference

    Fan doesnt shut off??????

    so what was the outcome? my fan stayed running on my 96 (late 95 build) 3.8 mustang for quite a while the other night, but operated normaly since.. someone sugested that it may be the air con? iis it worth replacing the coolant temp sensor out of course anyway?

    fitted a GT strut brace....

    wow, what a difference, much more compliant and controlled over bumps, due to being tied into the firewall.. seems a little crisper on steering too, but that may be because i've been driving around in a 4 cylinder 86 oldsmobile cutlass cierra custom cruiser wagon all week!! LOL :rlaugh:

    supercharging a 33,000 mile 96 3.8

    a buddy of mine (EDGE motorsport - orange saleen) has got a suprlus supercharger floating about, and i'm having idle thoughts of fitting it to my stang.. thing is, the car does frequent 100+ mile trips, and am concerned about long term reliability.. what sort of boost levels can the 3.8...

    3.8 V6 - Reliable?

    my 96 is perfect so far... but it still has less than 30,000 miles on it.. anyone have the date the revisions were made? i know the 96 model year was revised, but auto manufacturers normaly start the new model year in abou tsept the previous year.. so does it follow that post 9/95 build is ok?

    Why get a V6 over a GT? doesnt make sense....

    very different reasons over here..... my stang is my only car, and i do quite a lot of miles, so i need a low milage car. the nicest mustangs coming into the UK right now are actualy coming from japan, my *** spec 96 mustang has just 24,000 miles on it, and is in 100% perfect condition...
