    Mach 460 CD Slave Unit Needed: Will any 94-98 CD deck work?

    Thanks. I've got the radio/cassette deck for the Mach 460. It's the seperate CD unit I'm speaking about. I'm guessing that this same unit or one similare to it, was also used in non-Mach stereos from 94-98. My understanding is that all Mach systems are the same between 1994 and 1998. The...

    95 GT brake problem

    I had a somewhat similar problem with the rear brakes and a caliper going south on me. After looking into the replacement costs AND considering whether I really want to swap in a "used" brake part........I started saving for a new total brake swap. I had a lot of miles and figured that other...

    Mach 460 CD Slave Unit Needed: Will any 94-98 CD deck work?

    I want to put the Mach 460 CD slave unit in my 94 GT (with Mach 460 radio/cassette). After viewing dozens of CD slave decks on eBay, they all look the same, but none say they work with the Mach system. Is there a difference? Can I get the wrong deck IF I make sure it is from a 94-98...

    Broken Sway Bar

    +1 on the junkyard idea. I eventually went to the Eibach kit for front and rear and those are pretty stout pieces. Doubt they'll ever break.

    Going back to the Mach 460 head unit? Can it be done?

    Which Mach CD unit do I need? Will any of them work from 94-98? I'm talking about the Mach CD unit that is separate from the main head unit (radio/cassette). For some reason, I seem to remember that there was a change in either the wiring or the CD unit itself between 1994 and 1998. Thanks.

    Going back to the Mach 460 head unit? Can it be done?

    If the stereo shop that put in the Alpine HU is still in business, I'm going to have them look at swapping the stock Mach radio/cassette HU back in. I definitely do not want to replace the Mach speakers or anything else. Just want to put the Mach system back like it was stock. Hopefully, I...

    Going back to the Mach 460 head unit? Can it be done?

    I swapped in a higher end Alpine head unit on my stock Mach 460 system, because it had no CD. Now that I've lived with this setup for a few years, I really would rather go back to the non-CD head unit and just find the seperate Mach CD unit. Anyone done this? In short, aftermarket head...

    fixable or not?

    A couple years or more ago, I had starting issues and thought it might the the alternator, battery, and/or starter. I cleaned up the battery-to-block ground at the block and all the starting problems went away. I then later swapped the frame-to-block ground with a large negative battery cable...

    04 cobra brakes on 94

    The rear Cobra brakes are about as large as the stock GT front brakes. I actually had problems with the rear stock GT brakes, so I decided to swap everything out for the 04 Cobra setup front and rear. This setup should give me another 10+ years of reliability with little more than pad...

    Goofy fuel gauge.......

    I am in the same boat, except that I did not do an engine swap. My guage does the same thing and I'm pretty sure the gauge itself is just bad. Sadly, I'm thinking of putting a single pillar guage in for the fuel level, because relying on the odometer is no fun. On trips, I always fill up at...

    Official Streetable definition? The "buck" stops here..

    We've got a streetable vs. daily driver definition issue for sure. Streetable in my county (emissions) is different than 30 miles over in the next county (no emissions). I'd see streetable more as: Good Idle when cold, warm, and hot Engine never bucks or surges Better than 10 mpg in...

    In the winter, I ...

    Atlanta, GA area here. No real winter to speak of, so that's how I voted. I drive a Grand Cherokee to work every day, but the stang gets weekend duty and evenings throughout the week. We get maybe a dusting of snow ONCE each year. I don't drive in ice or snow ever, so the rare times that...

    04 cobra brakes on 94

    If you've got 17" wheels and $400 for the front set, $400 for the rear set, plus $100 for new stainless brake lines, then your set. Total brake replacement excluding the master cylinder: calipers, discs, lines, and all hardware. The brake lines and/or connectors are a little different from...

    04 cobra brakes on 94

    Never heard of that problem before, so maybe something else was going on or the stock master went bad. I kept the stock GT master cylinder, largely because so many people on here said it worked great for them and provided much better pedal feel. My experience: perfect pedal feel, 200%...

    Largest rear 17" tires on 95 GT - REAR?

    Seems like the 17x9 with 275s clear 99% of the time. This also will allow you to choose from many brands and models of tires. 17x10.5 wheels with the 315s are always a close fit, so it's 50/50 as to whether you'll need to make a minor adjustment. Tire selection is extremely limited with...

    If You Were To Build Another Mustang

    On the higher end of costs (maybe), my next project would be an 07/08/09 GT500 with an intake/tune upgrade, suspension mods (either KR parts or similar) and leave it at that. Bigger brakes possibly (again, like the KR) and maybe a freer flowing exhaust that still meets emissions. Make mine white...

    If you could have any new car under 30k

    Big difference in 2 doors or 4 doors, but for a new car, I'd try hard to get into a Mustang or 350Z. If a consideration could be made for a used car, a 2004 Z06 could be found for under $30K. Looks, handling, brakes, and good power. Honestly, and sadly, I've not considered a new car in...

    Front A-Arms that work with stock K-member

    +1 as well on the 03/04 Cobra front A arms. They made the front end a whole lot smoother overall too.
