    Cleaning the IAC

    Spray the carbon out of the tunnel the disk moves in, and try to clean the shaft the black disk is attached too - that's the main part that causes the valve to stick. Replacement is the #1 fix, but a good cleaning is worth a try. Obviously, make your best effort to keep the carb cleaner out of...

    Painted Grill Delete

    Being that the Cobra bumper has the grill delete molded into the bumper, this picture might help give an idea what it would look like:

    Mach 1 Grill Delete Install *pics*

    What's with all the Mach 1 posing? :shrug: J/K. All 99-04 Mustang Gt's should have came with the grill delete and chin spoiler from the factory - IMO, the front end just doesn't look complete without it. I do think the 3-piece grill delete is the way to go, but it isn't that obvious; I had...

    Clicking noise when clutch is all the way out?

    My Gt had a similiar sound that ended up being the TOB. Run a search on it.. I remember seeing a post a long time ago where a lube was used (I think white lithium but don't quote me on that) and it was a near-permanent fix. I personally got a new clutch under warranty.

    Cobra bumper on GT

    Yeah, your right. I kept thinking about that, and what your saying makes sense. I have seen the mounting holes for the flares by the headlights redrilled inwards to get a better fit with the 03 bumper, and I assumed it pulled the bumper higher.

    wont idle when cold

    I had the same issue with my car Jeff - a new Idle Air Control valve cleared the problem. The IAC accumilates carbon buildup over time, potentially causing it to stick. You can try spraying the IAC with carb cleaner, but your best bet is to simply buy another one. Auto part stores sell them...

    Cobra bumper on GT

    That looks fantastic!.. probably because it looks so much like my previous car. ;) Did you switch back to the Gt bumper to save money, or to simply switch it up a little? My Gt received a Cobra bumper after an accident, but sometimes I did miss the standard bumper with Mach 1 chin. :shrug:

    how much gains can i see from TB

    Well put. I was surprised that I could actually feel a little something on my Gt. It's a mod worthy of a few bucks. :nice:

    my hood is alive

    It's not always easy to tell when the hood is unlatched if your not looking for it. I left an oil change shop a long time ago in my Gt, and drove around a full day with the hood unlatched. I found out when I hit the freeway - the hood starting jumping. :shock: I'm sure your hood is fine...

    Triax vs. Pro 5.0 - After owning BOTH!

    I've had Hurst, Tri-Ax, MGW, and B&M, but never the Pro5.0. I recently picked up a Tri-Ax for my car, but I do somewhat wish I had gotten the Pro5.0. The dual mounting positions made me go back to the Tri-Ax, but I may end up using the stock handle this time around anyway. :shrug:

    Shaking Engine/Tranny over Bumps WHILE DRIVING

    A variety of shops should be able to check that out.. maybe even take it to Ford. Definitely sounds like mounts; I've heard of the tranny mount bolts working themselves loose on some Mustangs. Get under and check them out before taking it in - something to try. :nice:

    Opinion on Red Line Oil???

    Using Redline as a what.. a gear oil for the KB or engine oil? Regardless, your not going to see 15hp from oil. A modest gain of 1-3hp from synthetic seems possible, but that's tops. I used Redline in my KB when I ran out of the KB green stuff.. both oils seemed good. I use Redline in my...

    how to shave for emblem?

    I agree that Goof Off is a stonger chemical substance, but in extreme cases I found it to work better then Goo-Gone. I used Goof Off on my rear bumper to remove a residue from previous reflective bumper inserts, and the removal of the Gt emblem on my previous car - neither panel took any...

    Yeah probably! :D

    how to shave for emblem?

    The Ford emblem on the trunk has an allignment hole on it so you'll either have to get a plug, or have the trunk filled (which means body work). As far as removing the actual emblem, get a hairdryer to warm the emblem up and use dental floss or fishing line to get behind and and "saw" it off...

    Stock Clutch life expectancy?

    I've got a friend with 71k on his stock clutch (2001 Gt). Many powershifts, many launches, and the stock clutch is still hanging on. :nice:

    Steeda tri-ax V.S. MGW

    My car is in the shop for warranty work. :( I did receive the Tri-Ax in the mail the other day.. I'm not going to install it until I confirm my 1-2 shift grind is gone. It looks like Steeda changed the shifter from the one I had on my Gt. It now comes with a rubber isolater, and longer bolts...

    Will Steeda x2 ball joints fix this horrible screech?

    Order in which to address this: 1. WD40/Liquid Wrench the ball joint. *The stock ball joints are a pain to replace since they're pressed into the control arm. Putting on an entire new control arm is easier (& sometimes cheaper). 2. Replace the steering rack bushings with aluminum. <--...
