    A/C clicking?

    I can hear mine with the top up and the windows closed driving at 25 MPH.

    A/C clicking?

    My 97 GT didn't and neither has any other FLM car I've owned or driven(Explorere, Moutaineer, F150, Mustang, T-bird, etc.). It's annoying and a poor excuse for engineering. If it's "normal" that means Ford knew the noise was pronounced but didn't install additional sound insulation to deaden...

    Thank god for friends

    I'm not a big fan of Saleen "performance enhancements" in the base model...but you've got the REAL DEAL! The lines on the Saleen are nothing but SEXY! Congratulations!

    A/C clicking?

    If this is "normal", why haven't I heard the same pronounced sound on FLM and other models? It is noticably loud...maybe it's because sound proofing from the engine compartments isn't everything it could be.

    2005 Mustang GT Stolen from Ford Dealership

    I've got 2 cents I have 2 cents so here's my take on the matter: 1) Your dealership is responsible for the action of its employees 2) Asking for an extended warranty is reasonable because you don't know how hard the car was driven (hard, I'm sure) 3) Asking for cash compensation is not...

    STEEDA Billet Pedals and Dead Pedal

    I recently bought the Steeda billet pedals and dead pedal for my GT. I have to say that I'm very disappointed with the quality. While the pedals are fine, the screws that they shipped with the pedal set were horrible! The steel was so soft that I broke 6 (that's right SIX) of them trying to...

    A/C clicking?

    You're not alone. My GT vert does it all the time too. It's the only thing on the car that's starting to annoy me. I'm going to have my dealership look at it the next time I have the car in for service. I've never heard a similar sound on any other car.

    Really Dumb Question: Car Wash Tips?

    No, you can use any good car wash soap. I'd suggest Zaino, Mother's or Meguiar's Gold Class. All of these are mild and have anti-spotting agents. I've personally used all three and any is suitable.

    X plan in Socal?

    Dougboy, I've been down this road and it's full of disappointment. If you order on plan, make sure you get a DORA and the TRUTH from your dealer regarding their allotment and how many orders are ahead of yours. I ordered from a dealer in Orange County and was told 12 weeks to delivery...

    Really Dumb Question: Car Wash Tips?

    If you have hard water a filter system or water softener is an absolute must to prevent spotting. I can vouch for the Mr. Clean system. The water where I live is horribly hard and Mr. Clean provides for a spot free dry. You can also try using a leaf blower (don't laugh) to do a "power dry"...

    2005 Convertible

    Thank you topless. I've received a lot of positive feedback on the color combo! It looks even better after 3 coats of Zaino! :D

    2005 Convertible

    The wind noise is moderately loud at higher speeds (55+ mph). I've been in verts that are worse and some that are better. If you're looking for a quiet ride, this isn't your car.

    Please Post Your Gas Mileage

    About 17mpg in mixed driving with mixed shifting (some low rpm for fuel economy and some having fun). Better than I used to get with my 97 GT but still not good.

    Strut tower brace

    Fin- I noticed you have the Steeda CAI too. Did you get the "Xcalibrator" or the "Steeda Predator" along with the CAI? Are you happy with the Steeda products you have on your car? I'm considering the Steeda CAI/Predator combo along with the non-adjustable strut tower brace. Thx!

    Strut tower brace

    Two Steeda ST Braces available I think that's for the adjustable one. There's a cheaper non-adjustable model for $159.95. The adjustable is 319.95.

    Some pics after Zaino

    If you live in a warm climate you don't need the accelerator. Here's what I did: Week 1 1. full wash with Dawn (inside joke GTJade :p ) 2. Z18 clay bar with recommended blend of Z-wash + water for lubricant 3. Z-2 polish, dry, wipe 4. Z-6 spritz and wipe 5. Wash with Z-wash using Mr...

    Why does ford keep letting GM beat us?

    Inspired appears to be using stink-bait on his fishing hook. IF GM ever brings back the Camaro line, it will look the same for the next 20 years, dwindle in sales and they'll have to kill it again. Riding in a late model Camaro is like riding a bucking bronco...there's power but certainly no...

    43,000 for a 2005 GT conv...

    There won't be 150,000 GTs on the road and that's what most people on this board are referring to. You can get a V6 for less than sticker here in SoCal without even trying hard. A GT, well, that's another story.
