    Radar: Valentine 1 or Escort Passport 8500 X50

    Gee dude... has living in Saskatchewan frozen your brain? Or are you simply so pompous that you believe these things are useless? I am curious about one thing however... given that NOWHERE in my post did I say that radar detectors protected against VASCAR, how in the Sam Hill did you get that...

    Official 4.0 SOHC MPG Report Thread

    I'm averaging 22mpg in city driving. On my last road trip I averaged 29mpg. Mod's are listed in my signature so I won't repeat them here.

    Radar: Valentine 1 or Escort Passport 8500 X50

    Excellent choice! I went through virtually the same decision process a short while ago. And, like you, I chose the X50 over the V1. I have nothing against the V1 but I don't see the additional cost as warranted for a couple of cool arrows. Both radar detectors are highly rated, both have...

    Radar: Valentine 1 or Escort Passport 8500 X50

    VASCAR is undetectable? Since when? It simply means you need to be more aware of the police car sitting on the side of the road... the aircraft flying parallel to the highway overhead... and the cars driving in the opposite direction flashing their headlights.

    What is the "Stalker Mustang"

    Per the Cervini's web site they are designing an Eleanor kit for the 05 rather than a Stalker kit. Of course they MAY be doing both but not mentioning the Stalker kit... only time will tell! http://www.cervinis.com/welcome.html

    Sounds like your local dealer must really believe that they're the only game in town. :notnice:

    Bluetooh Problems

    I've got the mobile-ease kit installed in mine and have never had any problems with the kit taking over the speakers. Occasionally it takes a second or two for the Shaker to acknowledge when I press the button on my V710 to initiate a voice call. Otherwise it works fine. The one thing I...

    XM Radio with the Shaker Head Unit

    I suspect that no such beast currently exists. This question has been asked many times in the past. Sadly the only consistent answer is FM modulation. Rumors abound that companies are working on AUX connectors but nobody has delivered anything to market yet. And the really odd thing is...

    Any chance Ford new about the gas hike?

    The CAFE (Corporate Average Fuel Economy) standard is an interesting read (well maybe NOT!!! :rolleyes: ). It was first enacted in 1975 in response to the Arab oil embargo. When the law was passed it targeted a doubling of fuel economy by 1985. Needless to say we never got there. In 2003...

    Japanese Mustang!!!

    You mean like the BMW manufacturing plant in Spartanburg county, South Carolina that builds the Z4 roadster and X5 Sport Utility vehicle??? Nah... somehow I suspect EXCON will respond by calling us hillbillies and telling us those truly aren't BMW's. But I gotta wonder if the thought that two...

    Modified V6 Mustangs......Street Scenes Kits

    Take your med's dude... Oh and by the way I agree with Jenn, a clean and unmolested car is BORING!!! To me there isn't an issue with modding the car if thats what you want to do. If, however, you're trying to make it something its not then maybe there should be self-imposed limits. Of...

    Modified V6 Mustangs......Street Scenes Kits

    Sounds like you're equally dilusional! If people want to make something unique out of their car then thats their business. You have no right to tell them what to do with their ride. I personally think people who put 20-inch wheels on their cars are NUTS. Do I go around telling them this...

    05 V6 Mustang upgrade mods advice

    I think you can expect that any CAI will require a re-tune to work efficiently.

    Modified V6 Mustangs......Street Scenes Kits

    A 'stang is a 'stang is a 'stang! Sheesh!! The fact that it starts life with a V-6 in it doesn't means its gonna stay that way forever. A new Mustang is like a painters canvas. You build and mod and create something tangible and unique. As I've said many times before, "While its true that...

    Radar Detectors: Whos Using What?

    Passport 8500 - X50 and very happy with it. It puts all of my previous detectors to shame. Is the V1 better? Maybe but its also $100 more expensive and the only support for it is through the web site. Is the V1 worth the extra cost? That remains to be seen...

    K&N Filter question...

    Mines on order... I figure its still an improvement over paper filters and I'm not gonna risk my warranty by installing a CAI and re-tune.

    Pony Spinners

    Try eBay or your neighborhood Ford dealership. On eBay you'll likely pay around $100 for a set of Pony Spinners... not sure of the retail price.
