    suspension sounds

    The dash board banging is not normal. My suspension clunks sometimes going into off camber parking lots. But my suspension is very stiff, I consider it normal. When the car had the stock suspension, it was dead silent. Some of the noise you hear might be the driveshaft, they are known to make...

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    Or. . . the dealership lost their only 14MM wrench and the under pants Gnomes stoled the shop manual and sold it on ebay. Seriously, you both could be right. But as we all know, if a car is under warranty and a part is physically broken it's not required to get warranty approval to fix it (in...

    suspension sounds

    Mine started doing that after I put the H@R race springs and Koni's on it. My suspension noise is not very loud though. I find the factory engineered driveshaft clunks more annoying.

    Guess my E.T.

    I ordered drag radials but the did not show up. I agree, traction will be the issue.

    Guess my E.T.

    Those are some pretty quick times, I'm feeling the pressure to perform now. Maybe there should be a prize. Hmmm, I will have to think about that.

    I am about as far away from Jersey as you can get. I'm in Seattle.

    Guess my E.T.

    I am taking my 08 5spd GT to the track for the first time tomorrow. I have a JLT CAI, dyno tune, 4.10 gears, H&R race springs and 275/40/18 Toyo T1R's street tires. My car recently made 303 HP on my Dynojet and 291 HP on a Mustang Dyno. The track's density altitude today is 266 ft above sea...

    Flowmaster super 40's w/ Pypes x-pipe

    I was about to order a O/R X pipe, now I am second guessing this. Has anyone used the O/R X or H pipe with the stock mufflers. I would be interested in peoples feed back on the sound with that setup.

    2005 GT with 68k

    15,000 miles a year is considered normal when determining blue book values. 68,000 miles would not scare me away. If the price is right, go for it. I had 240,000 miles on the modular motor in my Navigator and it ran like it did when I bought it new.

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    900 miles per quart is what Ford says is the maximum amount of oil consumption allowed. 899 miles per quart is abnormal. In my opinion, you will not be able to submit this under a lemon law because your car burns 1 quart in 1600 miles. I am not an attorney, this is just my opinion based on the...

    Best CAI with tuner combo

    I installed a JLT II on my 08 5spd, with a custom dyno tune it made 292 HP on a Mustang dyno. You can't go wrong with the C&L or JLT.

    Brand new 09 Mustang smoking

    Brian's explanation is 100% accurate and I agree with everything he said. However, your situation seems to be beyond the normal exceptable levels of engine oil consumption and I believe that you have reason for concern. My new 08 GT used about 1/8 of a quart of oil before the first oil change at...

    Insects under the hood!

    Mine did that also, it was the aluminum dash. The two pieces where they touch on the passenger side where the air bag is. Took the dash pieces off, used thin double sided tape to hold the dash panels tight, problem fixed. Before that, lots of AC/DC at high volume was the only cure.

    anyone ever tried...

    I used to be the Vice President at a track in Wa State. Insurance will run you about $100,000 a year. If you can find a airport with a back-up runway it will save you a bunch of money if you can convince the Port of **** to lease it to you for $4,000 a weekend. The zoning will help you obtain a...

    questions questions questions!!

    You do not have to install the lowers and upper at the same time. I installed tubular ones with rod ends on my car. These are overkill unless you plan on adding a lot of power for drag racing or you road race. They do make clicking sounds during on/off throttle and when shifting during normal...

    LCA's or springs?

    I agree, go with the springs and a alignment.

    Ford Drag Team Dyno Day March 21

    I had John tune my 08 a couple of months ago, he did a great job. To bad I just noticed this post, I would like to dyno my blown alcohol altered. What's the HP limit on John's dyno?

    questions questions questions!!

    The Ford gears comes with a shim kit and a crush sleeve, my cost is $166.00. My car only had 900 miles on it when I changed the gears so I re-used my bearings. If your car has low miles, you could use your old bearings as well. However, I believe the Ford bearing kit is only around $75.00.

    questions questions questions!!

    $250.00 is about right, I paid $150.00 from a friend that works at a Ford dealership. Make sure you buy the Ford gears not the ones made by Motive.
