    Whipple/Thump_rrr tensioner owners -- advice needed.

    I have tried to get an answer to this question with very little response so I hope someone here can help me out. I had my belt break and it only had about 1500 miles on it. After reading everything I could find on several forums, this is not an uncommon problem. From what I've read, the...

    GT 500 splitter on a California Special

    I've seen some examples of folks with GT's installing the GT500 front valence/splitter on their rides. Based on the photos, I THINK I can install one on my Cal Special front spoiler. My question is; will the splitter/valence just increase downforce or does it reduce the drag as well? I know...

    Spare tire for big brakes

    I'm looking to upgrade my brakes to either a GT500 or Baer "big brake" kit. My question is, will the stock/supplied GT spare tire fit and clear the brakes? Is the spare for the GT500 different than the GT? Does anyone have experience with this and have actually test fitted the spare to...

    What should I expect?

    I'm ready to buy a supercharger for my 07 GT. Other than shedding rubber at an alarming rate, what should I expect in regards to increased maintence, fuel economy (cruising at 70 or so) and stuff like that? I have heard that the cruise control doesn't work, or work smoothly with a supercharged...

    Strut mount question.

    I have a 2007 California Special with about 25K miles on it. I installed Vogtland lowering springs and have a very minor drop in the ride height .5" in front and 1.2" in the rear. This is fine with me because of the Cal Special front spoiler would be bashing into the ground all the time if it...

    Black Chrome and Wheel Replica wheels

    Does anyone have experience with caring for Black Chrome on wheels? I was told that, unlike regular chrome, they CANNOT be polished or waxed or the finish will be damaged. Only hand washed with soap and water. Also, how is the quality of Wheel Replica wheels. Their prices are a little on...

    Billet Grilles from Mr. Bodykit

    Does anyone have experience with their product?? I've heard they are slow to deliver but my main concern is the quality of their product. Any advice would be appreciated as I have placed an order but am beginning to wonder why their price is so much cheaper. Thanks.

    Alignment after lowering question

    I am going to lower my car (approximately 1" and 1-1/4" front/rear) and of course I will have align the front end after installing the springs. Several posts and instructions say to not drive too far before re-aligning the front end. Is the concern a little extra tire wear due to additional...

    Spring settling

    I just installed a set of Vogtland lowering springs in my 07 GT. I know it takes a while, but how long should it be before the springs "settle" down to normal ride height? Installed J&M lower control arms, adjustable panhard rod, Tokico D-specs and Vogtland "leveling" spring kit. I picked...

    Struts and shocks, input please,,,

    I really respect the opinions posted on this forum and they've been real helpful so far so I'll ask for your input again. I have a 07 GT and I'm planning on lowering it. While I'm doing the dreaded front springs I was thinking that it would be the ideal time to change the struts and shocks...

    GT Brakes

    I've owned a 07 GT for about 18 months now. I've rolled up about 17000 miles on it and today I took a drive in twisties. After about 5 minutes of serious flogging, the brakes were starting to fade significantly and when I stopped they were a stinkin' and smokin' heavily. I checked the rotors...

    MGW shifter owners, are they worth it??

    I have a 2007 GT with the 5 speed with 16k miles on it and really enjoy the car with one exception -- shifting. I was hoping that this problem would get much better as the trans broke in, but if anything it's worse. I have driven 2 other 5 speed GT's and the trans/shifters were the same. Had...

    Are they legal???

    Does anyone KNOW if the FRPP "GTA" axle backs are legal in California?? I've read on Ninosports website that they are OEM on the Shelby gt. I got pulled over a local deputy and he was whinin' about them being illegal.

    Question about X-pipes

    I have read numerous threads on this site regarding exhaust systems for the S-197 Mustang. The more I read the more confused I get, :shrug: . If I understand correctly, there is very very little performance gain by installing an aftermarket system on a stock engine and the change would be...

    I just installed my C&L cai and am preparing to install the tune that I purchase from Brenspeed. The SCT documentation says to remove the fan and fuel pump fuses. Then it goes on to explain the rest of the steps to install the tune. Is this necessary or can the tune be installed without...
