    Accessory drive noise, help

    I'm having an issue on my 04 GT. I just recently replaced the idler pullies and the belt in order to try and fix a squeaking noise that was happening in my belt drive. After I did that and started the car up a bigger noise started, it sounds like the car has a supercharger when it doesn't. I...

    Props to Carmax 30-day warranty

    I bought my 04 GT about a month ago from Carmax. I took it in to service on Monday because it had a couple of issues (popping from steering, air coming from floor vent even when HVAC off, and the rear defroster didn't work). I figured the 30-day Carmax warranty that comes with all cars...

    HVAC vent problem

    I'm having a minor issue with the HVAC on the new 04 GT I just bought. When the HVAC is turned off, outside air is getting in and coming out of the floor vents. The airflow is 0 at idle and increases with vehicle speed, so the blower motor isn't on it's just coming in. According to the ford...

    Newbie 99+ GT question, Vent and Subframes

    Hey all -- I've always owned 87-93 mustangs but last weekend I picked up an 04 sonic blue GT for a daily driver. Got a couple questions. First, today is the first day I drove it with shorts and I noticed that the floor vent apears to be blowing air when the car is moving, like the pass-through...

    Bought new daily driver today

    I decided that my daily driver 06 Mazda 3 was getting kind of boring. Went to Carmax this morning and bought this: It's an 04 GT, sonic blue, black leather, 5spd. Looks like it has a cat-back (guessing either magnaflow or flowmaster) and a shifter (possibly MGW? doesn't feel like triax or pro...

    T5 2nd to 3rd issue

    Hey guys -- It seems like the first time I go to shift into 3rd gear from 2nd when the car is cold, it grinds into gear. It's only the first time, and it's only when it's cold. This is a weekend car, so I usually only drive it once a week or so. After the shift that grinds all other shifting...

    SS Brake Line Question

    I have this question in my 5-lug progress thread over in talk, but it might be better suited here. I just finished my 5-lug/brake conversion and i'm a little concerned about the brake lines. They are the Goodridge SS lines that came with the 10th anniversary caliper set from...

    Gravity Bleeding

    How long does this take? I got my new banjo bolts in and I have the new brake lines hooked up to the cobra calipers. The drivers side didn't take long until fluid started to appear at the bleeder valve. I've had the passenger one open for an hour or so now and still nothing

    Banjo bolt problem

    Ok, this is getting absurd. I posted a few days ago about shearing off a banjo bolt while putting on my cobra calipers. So I ordered replacements from Summit. (M-2321-A) They are the coarse banjo bolts for the 10th anniversary calipers which are the ones I have. Here is what I originally...

    Question about Brake Lines

    I'm at the point in my 5-lug swap where I need to connect the new brake lines to the factory hard lines and the new calipers. I'm following the M-2300-K instructions but these torque specs on the brake lines can't possibly be right? How tight should should the brake lines be? I don't know if...

    Central Florida Alignment Shop?

    The car will hopefully be done this weekend and i'm going to need to take it somewhere to get aligned. I've heard that most shops have no idea what to do with C/C plates, does anyone in the area know a shop that will? I have MM C/C plates and MM bump steer kit. We'll set the bump steer...

    How do you install front spring???

    This seems like an impossibility. With the front control arm all the way down to where I could jack it up the spring isn't even close to fitting in the spring perches. The new spring (bullitt) is even shorter than stock. I have a set of those outside spring compressors like they sell at...

    Anyone have a bumpsteer / adjustable tie rod kit?

    If so, what kit do you have and what type of spacer configuration did you go with? I'm looking for a starting point on where to put the spacers. 94-95 spindles, bullitt springs (only like 3/4 in drop or so), MM C/C plates, MM bumpsteer kit. Thanks

    What size is the top strut mounting nut?

    Does anyone know? I need to buy 2 nuts to put my new struts in and Ford doesn't sell just the nut. I need to know what size it is so I can pick one up elsewhere. Thanks

    Places to buy random hardware

    Where do you guys buy random hardware that you need for the car? It seems like i'm constantly having to buy some kind of bolt or nut. I need 2 of the nuts that go on top of the strut now and the ford part's desk doesn't even sell it. They only sell the strut mount/boot/nut as a kit and it's...

    Rear lower control arms, help

    Ok, hopefully i'm just a retard here. I'm trying to put in my rear lower control arms (finally after the new bolts showed up). I put the chassis part in first, put the bolt on (not torqued). Then I put the spring on and started jacking it up into the axle part. I got it to the point where...

    5-lug spare?

    What type of spare tire will fit over 5-lug conversion + 03 cobra brakes? Where is a cheap place to get one? What about the spare off another vehicle? My new Mazda 3 wheels look like they have the same 5-lug bolt pattern as a Mustang.

    Identify a part

    I didn't take a pic, but what is the thing under the driver side seat on an '89? It's mounted to the floor, looks like a relay of some sort. I remember the fuel pump relay was under the passenger seat on my '93.

    Lower control arm bolt question

    OK, i'm trying to get my rear lower control arms out. I've looked at a few different how-tos. I'm supporting the control arm with the jack and the axle itself is on jack stands. I took the nut off of the rear bolt but I can't get the bolt itself out. All of the instructions just say 'remove...
