    Go check your dealer today!!

    My local Ford dealer said delivery is today for their 2 Mustangs and friend here at work,who's sister works at a Chicago area dealer, said they received 4 yesterday (10/11/04) and will be rolled out today. Those 4 (2 GT's and 2 V-6's) are already sold. So grab your wallets and for those...

    O2 Extensions don't work!!!!

    Is it bank 1 slow response code or bank 1 lean? Sometimes LT's will throw the slow response code due to the distance they are away from the engine (insufficient reading due to distance). If this is the case there was a thread on here about some faster response O2 sensors (Bosch?) that can be...

    Mach 1 questions

    Well maybe for the automatic Mach 1. I would not generalize the numbers if you are not sure.

    I think I saw the first 05 Mustang GT being broken into !!

    Well by the time I left they had not. But Ford chose to keep the same frameless window design on the new car so they were able to get the wire in easy. Now the location of the door lock/unlock button is further up the door so they were going for that. Leverage angle was not going to work for...

    I think I saw the first 05 Mustang GT being broken into !!

    :D So I was in Pontiac, Illinois today at lunch time and low and behold there was a 05 Yellow GT at the local Spray and Wash. This time I wanted to go look at it and take the recommendations from my last post and see if I just missed anything. As I was eating I noticed 2 guys just moving all...

    Underdrive Pullie Install ????

    Particularly for the alternator pulley. It is very important not to forget the RTV for the keyway. Also put your car in 4th or 5th gear before trying to get the crankpully loose.

    Please Help! P0171 & P0174

    Sounds like you have a vacuum leak to me. I would check the torque on the intake bolts, look for cracks in it and behind it. Also recheck your vacuum hoses particularly on the back side. Another thing to try is try and press down on the intake and see if you notice a pitch change. Since...

    Well I wasn't impressed ....

    Ummmm .... Maybe :) Yes I am, Comp Orange 04. I can't get the mods to change my user name here :( Stangnet was my first mustang site and still remains one of my favorites. Shoot I still pay for my Goldmember status :)

    Well I wasn't impressed ....

    Yup I agree :nice: That is why I said roots and not the LS platform. I really need to learn how to imbed more thoughts in one post :)

    Well I wasn't impressed ....

    Shoot I think bicycle tires would be better than Gatorbacks, and I agree that the Pirelli's are nice tires. I guess what I was trying to say is that at least 2/3's (again my opinion) of Mustang GT owners will swap out tires for something a little bigger and maybe a little more aggressive. Next...

    Well I wasn't impressed ....

    I have no clue what part it was :) I am just an average guy looking foward to the release of the new car. All I can report are my opinions and how easy it was to move it around and push it in with 2 fingers.

    Well I wasn't impressed ....

    I agree with that. That was one of my biggest issues with my 01. Not hard to plumb some scoops simular to the show car hood. The Camaro SS had only a slightly functional hood scoop but it was still a hole routed to the foward facing throttlebody..

    Well I wasn't impressed ....

    I agree, plastic is plastic but when you touch it it feels thin and moves very easy. For example the black plastic air dam diverter in front slides around in the bumper frame with a good 1/4 inch play on each side. This is a production piece to be found on all the 05's. It is not fully...

    Well I wasn't impressed ....

    The car just does not look agressive from the front or rear. I am not saying Ford did not make any improvements, I just feel they could have continued to make improvements for little or no extra cost. The hood looks like it belongs on any plain sedan out there.

    Well I wasn't impressed ....

    I got a chance to see the new 05 up close at yesterday. Outside it looked kind of.... well bland. This one was red and it was one of the media cars. It really needs the hood scoops back to break up the wide expansive hood. Some of the lines did not match up very well and it had a very...

    Replacing studs in passenger header for new x-pipe

    Ok first: 1) The replacement stud kit goes on the drivers side not the passenger side. The passenger side manifold has a flange with a flexitalic gasket on it. The drivers side uses a ball and socket design. 2) The only replacement gasket you need is for the passenger side. It is around 5...

    Fed up with crappy 4.6

    No tune? How bout a chip? Before you get on it again I would find some way to get a tune done or a chip from Vortech or Superchips. Nothing like blowing up your investment.

    pro50 install help

    Try and rock it back and fourth or use a small claw hammer along the side. Place the tip of the claw along the right hand edge and use the rounded head of the hammer head against the transmission housing. It should pop off then. After you have the 4 bolts out of the shifter, nothing holds it...
