    MustangTuning.com's HID kit--thoughts?

    Well, if the site is right - and you never can tell - "HID bulbs draw less power than stock incandescent bulbs and produce much less heat". If they're telling the truth, the stock housings should be fine.

    what will "Alloy Grey" look like for 07?

    This is the color I really want to see on a Mustang. (Or a GT, but they're not making anymore).

    Anyone read "AUTOMATIC WEAPON" in 5.0 Mustang mag May 06 , p. 147

    I'm still not quite sure what you're pissed about other than the miscaptioning, but to explain the good numbers, the new Mustang has a much-improved 5-speed auto, and the torque curve is incredibly flat on the dynos I've seen of S197s. There's a lot more area under the curve than your typical...

    SVT closes up shop

    Reported by PlanetBlueOval. Sure, Ford, kill off one of your best divisions at possibly its most promising time (new Mustang and new Fusion to work with). Cobra Lightning Contour Focus GT Shelby GT500 (SVT does 90% of the work) Hang on to your SVTs, in 20 years they'll probably...

    Computer Memory/RAM question

    Vibrant, did you get a cheap 1 GB stick? ($70 or less) There's a configuration of 1 GB sticks (x4 high density RAM) that are cheap to manufacture but not a lot of motherboards support them, so they only work on certain systems. Here's a post on it. Here's another post on it...

    Swap 98 to 03

    The power difference with the older cam is small - probably 5-10 hp total (if not less). Even though it's better than the newer cam, it's not exactly an aggressive grind.

    Swap 98 to 03

    Here's RPM's split port swap kit. Here's SSM's swap kit. I would call whatever vendor you would want to use, find out exactly what parts you need to swap out and decide if the expense/time is worth it.

    Swap 98 to 03

    Get a split port swap kit instead. There are companies out there that sell complete packages for $500-700, they should include the heads, intake manifold, fuel rails, computer, and wiring harness. Those are the components I know need to be swapped out, and as a bonus, you'll make more power...

    Anyone looking for a 96 Cobra

    LOL... I like the GT badges, the GT instrument cluster, the GT airbags (and why is the passenger side airbag different? Hmm... replacement? Collision?), the GT rear bumper cover, and most importantly, the GT 4.6L 2V engine! If that's a Cobra, it's been severely rebuilt using GT parts. But I...

    351C in a 95?

    Maybe something easier than swapping in a 351C would be to build a Clevor engine - Cleveland heads adapted to a Windsor block. Wasn't the Boss 302 basically this kind of idea? A 4-bolt Windsor block with canted Cleveland heads?

    Wrecked Enzo

    Someone forgot to tell Mr. Eriksson that high-speed crashes don't turn out the same way as in his games. ...And you know what the SLR owner had to be thinking... :owned:

    Need a daily driver AND a weekend hauler?

    Ford is working on something with you in mind. All I can say is, holy crap! Ford might corner the consumer pickup market if it works as advertised.

    Wrecked Enzo

    They could easily run a DNA screen on the blood from the airbag and see if it matches... somehow I don't think he wants that done. :rolleyes: It's nice to know money still can't buy brains or driving ability. Even though it must have felt that way at the time.

    ebay...

    I like the Q&A section... "Are you REALLY selling that turbo kit or did your account get hijacked?"

    BF Goodrich kdw 2's????

    Yeah... tramlining, gotta love it. I'm running Pirelli 265s up front, the first time I hit a rut going 75 on the interstate was an eye-opener. Especially since I only had one hand loosely on the wheel. :D

    Pet Peeves!!!

    - Followers/groupies (mostly girls, some guys) who can't admit that they do whatever's popular with their friends or idols (dress, act, think, etc.). - People who think they can sing, and they want to share their "talent" with everyone around them. Give it up and STFU, already! - See...

    Cool - I didn't know the carpet from 50resto was color-matched, too. :nice:
