    STB?

    I've had one in for a couple of months now. It's a nice piece. Light and strong. And, it doesn't look as clunky as some of the others out there. My only complaint is that it was a tight fit over the strut studs, but no biggie.

    Headlights question

    I think you are going to have to have your dealer turn off that feature. Give them a call.

    Silverstar Ultra bulbs

    That hasn't been my experience with them. I had them in my '96 for several years. No problems. The ones I found that did not last were the ones from Asia. There are a some high output blue coated bulbs for sale from either Korea or Japan. I had one set that lasted about two months and died.

    Silverstar Ultra bulbs

    Try some on-line places. I think even with shipping they might be just about what you'd pay locally. And, no sales tax. I think you'll like those Silverstars. The headlight bulbs are pretty easy to change, but the foglamps require loosening up the grille so you can get your hands in there...

    Silverstar Ultra bulbs

    Those Silverstars are very, very good. OK they're not HID, but they are a great improvement over stock. And, I take it back about calling myself an idiot:) When the Ultras become available, I will of course buy them. Having good lighting is worth it.

    Silverstar Ultra bulbs

    Yea, you know it's just like the computer manufacturers. You get the latest Whizbang 9000, and they come out with the 9001 next week. I just put Silverstars in my GT about a month ago, and then I hear Sylvania advertising these Ultras. I suppose I'm an idiot, but I'll probably buy them.

    Ford Racing Axel Backs

    I've had those GTA's for a while now. I like them a lot. Great sound without bringing down the long arm of the law, and they look terrific.

    Only kidding about burning up the Pirelli's. As I said, I'm not a racer so I don't do any burnouts. Actually, the Pirellis are pretty good. I had BFG T/A Comps (Z-rated) on my '96 and they were great on hot dry pavement. But any moisture, and they would spin like crazy. I've already...

    Sorry to hear about your women guys. I've been blessed with a good wife, and I'm mighty grateful. She's as much of a Mustang nut as I am. My '05 GT auto 'vert with a CAI, 89 octane tune, underdrives and aluminum driveshaft turns between 5 and 5.1 s with no attempt at a good launch. Out on...

    New Muffs ordered !!

    Sorry, I can't post a sound clip, but I can tell you that I've had the 5230-GTA's on for a couple of weeks now and they are really good. Yes, they are the ones used on the GT-H. They sound much more like an old fashioned big block V-8. Deeper, rumblier than stock. But, not so loud that you...

    BBK CAI and Motorvator Throttle Body Spacer

    Good deal. I don't think you're missing too much by not having that TB spacer anyway. The CAI will help, and it looks nice.

    Exhaust ????

    I'm really happy with my FRPP mufflers (M-5230-GTA). They are the ones used on the Shelby GT-H and have a nice tip on them much larger than stock but not too outlandish. Very good deep tone and louder than stock, but not going to get you pulled over by the law. They are listed as 50-State...

    windage tray

    Hi Randy. Haven't heard from you in quite some time since the old 2V Mustang Corral days. I'm still over there. But, I don't have my '96 anymore. Got a 2005 GT. You helped me get a lot of hard to find Ford parts for that '96. True, maybe the guys at FRPP don't know what's going on. I...

    windage tray

    You know, you are right JT. What I read must have been some early publicity, and Ford probably dropped the idea because of cost. Like they did with a bunch of other things. I just talked with the Ford Racing Hotline, and there is NO windage tray in the 3v engines. But, there is a windage...

    Tune

    You know GOLDENPONY, I can't argue with big cat because it is certainly true that you will get the most out of a dyno tune. But, I guess it depends what you want from the car. From what you wrote earlier, you sound a lot like me. I'm not a racer, but I do like having a little extra...

    Aluminum Driveshaft

    "You got the runaround for a month because the people that had automatics were having vibration problems so he stopped shipping them until the problem was resolved." I heard quite a few reasons from Mr. JPC. You got your driveshaft from him and that's fine, I couldn't get one from him. And...

    Aluminum Driveshaft

    I think it was a good mod because it is half the weight of the OEM shaft. But, I have never had my car on a dyno so pretty much all I have is an SOTP feeling. The closest I can come to a quantitative number is that, completely stock the car would turn 0-60 on my wrist/stop watch at about 5.3...

    Aluminum Driveshaft

    I got mine from Powerhouse www.powerhouse411.com. No problems. Dropped right in, and they have them in stock. Tried ordering one from JPC, but got the run around for about a month.

    Cleaning Convertible Top

    I've used Motorcraft Triple Clean on my '96 (White Top) and now my '05 (Black Vinyl). Seems to work well.

    Gt Automatic times

    Five speeds are fun, but an auto is so nice in traffic. And, the Mustang auto is derived from the Lincoln LS, a good tranny. I was brought up on manual transmissions, but most of what I want to do, I can do with the auto. When the streets are slippery, I can start in 2. When I need some...
