    AFE CAI & SCT tunes

    I've had the aFe CAI on my '05 for about a year now. I ran it for a few months with no tune. Worked well, no problems. I then got an SCT with a tune from Paul's High Performance. 87 Octane tune. PHP's tune did a lot of other nice things like stiffen up the shifting in my auto, minimized...

    Throttle body

    I'll tell you one more thing about aftermarket throttle bodies. They will not work as well as your FOMOCO original. I had a TB on my '96 from a reputable aftermarket supplier and had nothing but trouble with it. Couldn't get a stable idle, bad cruise control, and worst of all, no noticeable...

    Shelby GT500 Spoiler fit GT Decklid

    If you can get a Ford-supplied GT500 spoiler painted for somewhere in the mid $200's, go for it. Putting it on is pretty easy. But, I would recommend that you get a friend to help you remove the factory wing. From my experience it will be safer for your car to have another person help you...

    Shelby GT500 Spoiler fit GT Decklid

    The GT500 spoiler does just drop in there. As was mentioned, it does have tape, but uses the factory holes and bolts on there just like the stock wing. One of the other manufacturers is 3DCarbon. If you check their website, they have installation instructions you can download. Lots of nice...

    Question about Shelby Cobra Rocker/Side Skirts

    Looks like they are the same. In fact, they'd almost have to be. The body is the same for the GT 500 as normal Mustangs. The exterior differences are the front and rear fascias and the hood. I have the flat black rocker panels from the V-6 on my GT. I just like the look of them. I think...

    When is a vendor going to make a fix for the brake res. leak issue?

    That is exactly the problem. The top surface of the filler neck, where it mates with the cap gasket, is poorly molded in a lot of the reservoirs. I was going to smooth off the surface myself, but I chickened out. I finally did get my dealer to replace the reservoir under warranty. The new...

    Noise after installation of aluminum DS

    JT, I don't think you should be getting any noise or vibration from your new driveshaft. I had an FRPP aluminum shaft on my '96 and I have a Powerhouse shaft on my '05 now. No problems whatsoever. Maybe give the bolts the once over to make sure nothing is loose, and then you might want to...

    brake fluid all over.....

    Warlock, you know I was going to do that but I chickened out. Didn't want to risk getting any chips in the fluid. But, that is exactly the problem, bad seal from irregularities on that lip.

    My car is slow!

    Osiris, you will have to get a tune for the gears and delete plates. That should get you running a lot better.

    brake fluid all over.....

    I think you guys should badger your dealer to fix the leak under warranty. That is the only thing that worked for me. They replaced my brake fluid reservoir and it has not leaked since (more than six months so far). It is a defect in the moulding of the top of the lip where the cap is...

    Cabin Air Filter?

    Goldenpony, you probably have this already. I just found the description of how to change out that filter. It can be found at: http://info.rockauto.com/ATP/Detail.html?FA9.gif It shows diagrams and gives instructions.

    Cabin Air Filter?

    Yes, the filter is on the passenger's side just underneath the wiper, behind the plastic cowl cover. There are four plastic trim screws holding the cowling on there, and it probably pays to take them all off rather than just the two on the passenger's side. I haven't done this myself because...

    how do you install fog light bulbs

    Like Goldenpony says, the instructions for fog lamp replacement are in the manual. Unfortunately, they don't provide a picture. I didn't remove the bumper cover bolts as the instructions say. I just removed the radiator cover and then loosened up the grille. The tricky part as I recall was...

    New B&M Auto Shifter

    Yes, the ball is interchangeable and they have shown a number of tops, tee handles, etc. But, the small diameter shaft and the plain flat base with the OD button just don't look very good to me.

    California legal exhaust system...

    BigMike, have a look at the thread on the FRPP 5230-GTA axle-backs (New Muffs Ordered). They're 50-state legal and give a nice sound (maybe a few more HP but not much). FRPP also makes an X-pipe that might also help. FRPP or JBA shorty headers look nice, but I doubt they will make any HP...

    Brake Chatter Leaking Reservior

    I hear you Mr_Q. You just have to hold that .45 only in your mind. They can't arrest you for what you are thinking :)

    Brake Chatter Leaking Reservior

    If I were you I would just take the car in to your dealer. I don't think you are going to get any kind of a hard time about the leak. A lot of people know this is a problem. Just explain to the dealer that you want to be sure that the filler neck on the replacement reservoir is going to be...

    need help/info on chips & tunes

    The new tuner devices out there now were a mystery to me too. I had a "chip" for my '96 which literally plugged right in to the engine control computer. The new devices are a lot easier to use and can really do a lot for our cars. The two main devices out there are the Diablosport and the...

    Brake Chatter Leaking Reservior

    I had my reservoir replaced under warranty and it has been fine ever since (about 6 months). The problem is that the filler neck was not molded correctly on quite a few of them. The top edge is not flat so even though there is a gasket in the cap, it still leaks just a little bit. Some folks...

    Silverstar Ultra bulbs

    I agree. The road was easier to see with the SilverStars in my '96, and it's easier to see things with the SilverStars in my '05. As compared to stock. The bottom line is you get better visibility with these things and that's what I'm interested in.
