    Anyone out there done a gear change themselves?

    I did a gear swap in my 89, went from 2.73's ro 3.73's and it really wasn't too bad at all. You just had to have the proper tools and follow the instructions. The biggest thing was to measure the backlash before and after the gears are installed. One important fact that I heard when I was...

    O/r h-pipe

    You can install some resonators and that will almost completely remove the raspyness and quiet the loudness down. That's what I did and it made a huge improvement.

    How much does ethanol gas effect your tunes?

    So I took the Mustang on a 450 mile trip yesterday and the place that stopped for gas only had ethanol gas, 89, 91, and 93 octane. I always run 91 non-ethanol gas in my car as I have the 91 octane tune. To be safe I used the 93 octane, figuring if the ethanol did any strange things I'd still...

    Simple traction control disable

    I always turn off my TCS once the car is started and has is run for a few seconds. I couldn't believe how much better (power, driveability) the car felt with the TCS off! IMHO, I think the car is more dangerous with the TCS on and driving aggressive. A shift from 1st to 2nd and traction loss...

    Throwing codes now after being towed! Help PLEASE!

    I would say it's just a coincidence that these codes happened the same time your car was getting towed. And "yes" these codes can take awhile before they come on, sometimes 50 miles and sometimes more. You need to get your tune fixed and have the rear O2's turned off.

    Using an unused fuse location for gauges

    Yes, you should be OK, but you're going to need to see if there is power present and properly size the fuse for what is going to be installed.

    Throwout Bearing or Driveshaft noise???

    No gear changes, still have the stock 3.55's. This noise is def. from the center of the car and not from the rear.

    2010 rust bucket!

    Sorry to say but I think that pretty much all companies do things this way. I've been into a lot of cars before and honesty can't remember seeing one where the structural steel behind/under the dash has been painted. I guess if you think of it this way, it's only ever going to be surface rust...

    Customer services of AmericanM and Pypes? Please help

    bla, bla, bla. Honestly, IMHO, this is what happens when you let somebody else put THIER hands on your car. Too many people want to have all the goodies, but aren't willing to do the work themselves. If I were in this situation, I would of extended the wires myself, just as DarkFireGT had...

    Just bought another Mustang. Photo's inside.

    Am I the only one that has noticed "Autographx" (auto graphics) name and avatar? Perhaps you guys are telling this guy to get rid of something that he has designed and installed himself.:nono: Nice car and good luck staying away from the "Mod" bug!

    Gas Tank Draining?

    I'm glad you said something, because I thought all newer cars had something inside of the fill-tube to prevent syphoning.

    Shelby CS40 Wheels - Need Help!

    OK, so I finally figured out what wheels I really like and want to go with. The problem is where to find them as most places that I have found are out of stock or on back order. Does anyone out there have any other suggestions on where to get these? Or does anyone know someone who has these...

    Noticed this hanging below the car

    +2 - It's the O2 Sensor Wire Harness. If it's the one on the passenger side (which it appears to be), you can remove the battery and battery tray and have really good access to reach at this harness to get it properly tie-banded/secured (on the backside of the block there is a bracket).

    06 gt sluggish as hell!! help

    Doubt it, he said that his RPM's aren't raising, as a slipping clutch you would see the rpm's get higher but nothing happen. I would try re-loading the tune like sparta had mentioned.

    My mechanic said: just deal with it (brakes)

    Brakes are for whimps, "Drive it like you stole it"! :D I hate to think of all the bad habits I'm teaching my 13 year old when he's in the car with me!!!!! I would agree that the brakes do seem a bit weak, especially when you're trying to slow down from 120 mph. Bigger would be better.

    wtf is up with my car

    The only car that I have ever seen this happen to is my old 91 SHO. Mine doesn't come out as far as you say yours does, but it does do something similar. I too have wondered what could cause this to happen and one thing that I can come up with is higher than normal crankcase pressure. My old...

    Throwout Bearing or Driveshaft noise???

    I guess I cannot answer for sure if it only happens when letting off of the gas, cause I can't hear it when I'm getting on it. So it may be happening at that time too. I've heard it a couple more times and it really sounds like it's coming from the end of the transmission (referencing by the...
