    What's your Biggest Bang for your Buck Mod ???

    Thanks John, I was looking forward to meeting you at the Kip Killmon open day last Sunday but apparently you were working. I'll catch up with you at one of the meets out at Dulles soon.

    What's your Biggest Bang for your Buck Mod ???

    Strange as it may seem, I am not really interested in racing it. I enjoy what I get out of it without going to the track. I might change to 3:73's and see how it goes. I just bought a Hurst billet shifter for it, so I might go for the gears next once I get some more money together.

    Hurst billet shifter question

    I just pulled the trigger on a Hurst billet shifter for my 08 GT manual. It comes with adjustable gear stops, unlike, I think, the regular Hurst shifter. Anyone have one of these and know if these should be adjusted all the way out ? I thought I read somewhere that these adjustable stops were...

    What's your Biggest Bang for your Buck Mod ???

    Sad ? Not really. I enjoy the car as it is and want to keep it for a long time. As I said it isn't my daily driver but I do like to get on it occasionally, within the law of course, and wondered if moving up to 3:73's would be worthwhile from 3:31's. I really didn't think it would be worth...

    What's your Biggest Bang for your Buck Mod ???

    I am never going to take my car to the track, so would you guys recommend 3.73's or 4.10's ? The car is a 5 speed GT and is not my daily driver. I can't see why I would need 4.10's under these circumstances. It currently has 3.31's.

    Well, I just turned 50, so I guess that puts me well into that category :)

    FR GTA's

    Installed these yesterday. Really not much difference from stock, maybe a little deeper rumble. 4 inch pipes look great though. At highway speeds there is no drone, but they are a little quieter than I thought they would be. To be honest, if you are buying these they would be strictly for...

    FR GTA's

    Well I ordered mine and got a call today from Ninosport to say that all the remaining stock has one defective muffler. Something to do with the welds. Now they are on back order but they will give me them at the eBay price.

    DOING 160MPH

    160 ?? On a closed course my car barely gets to 120, never mind 160. I haven't had it flat out but I can tell you it doesn't seem like it has much more, and that is with a Steeda 93 tune and their CAI with high flow elbow.

    New Steeda CAI and tune

    Just found out it's in the tune. I need to call Steeda and find out how to adjust it. No need for it to be running all the time. Colin

    New Steeda CAI and tune

    Took it out again tonight for a drive. My electric fan stays on the whole time. I'll have to look into this. Colin

    New Steeda CAI and tune

    Fitted a new Steeda cold air intake with the high flow elbow and tuned the car using the SCT 2 with the Steeda custom 93 octane tune. Took it out for a quick drive and wow, this has really woken the car up. One thing I did notice though, I need new suspension. On take off I can feel the...

    "clunk" sound when shifting

    Funny, I have a black GT too :-) It has 2000 miles on it but when the transmission warms up it sounds like it has 60000 miles on it or more. It's fine when it's cold, maybe the occasional lurch, but when warm it seems to grab when I let the clutch out and seems a lot noisier. Time to go...

    Rust Bubble on Hood

    Just had to chime in here. I got under the rear of my car a couple weeks ago and was astounded to see that the whole of the rear axle and the shock absorber mounts were very rusty. The car is a month old (08 Mustang GT) On another board I was advised to get under there and paint it myself...

    Paint Chips

    I just bought my car about 3 weeks ago and already have stone chips on each door. I got a clear bra fitted to the hood and front bumper and while I was driving there to get it fitted I picked up another stone chip on the hood. Luckily the installer touched that one up before fitting the bra...
