    Does Ford paint their cars with crayons?

    Throughout the year that I've owned this car, it seems like if I just look at it crooked a scratch will shopw up. I have never in my life seen a car that is so freaken fragile, it's rediculous. Maybe I just have a color that shows imperfections like a goddamn magnafying glass or something...

    American Muscle wheels

    Who here has wheels from them? Are they good quality or do you have any problems? I'm thinking about buying a set of wheels from them, good idea or no?

    More header dillemas and a couple questions for anyone with Hooker Longtubes

    I know a few people on here run these. I was just wondering a few things. One, is the oxygen sensor bung on the header collector, or on one of the primary tubes? I see images with it in both locations, so I am confused. I don't like the idea of an 02 sensor only reading from one cylinder...

    Opinions on MAC Long tubes

    Who here runs the Mac longtubes (or 3/4 tubes lol)? What are your opinions on their quality? And anyone have any info on power gains? Does anyone have pictures of them installed? Or better yet, with the Brenspeed X pipe? The ONLY picture I can find is the same stock photo that everyone uses.

    Opinions on BMR

    I'll be buying some lower control arms and relocation brackets soon. I have a gift card to a place that sells BMR and Spohn. I am 99% sure that the Traktek control arms on my brothers LS1 are made by BMR, but I might be wrong. Are their products pretty decent quality? I would be getting just the...

    So who drives their Mustang in the winter?

    How do mostly stock S197s do in the snow? I wanted to buy a winter beater so I don't have to drive my Mustang in the winter, but I really don't think I can afford it. I work 22 miles away, and I'm afraid a $500 car will fail me one day and I cannot afford to be late for work (new job with...

    Took some new pictures of my car. 56k not reccomended

    I was bored today, so I figured I'd finally take some new pictures of my car. So here ya go! I'm really surprised at how shiny it is even weeks and many washings after I waxed it. And it really brought out the mettalic part of the color. And some of...

    New best ET

    Went to Byron today. I was there for 5 hours and only got 3 runs because they had over 400 cars there. But I'm happy with what I did. Last time I went I also only did 3 runs and couldn't get my launch down, ran a best of 14.2 and a couple 14.4s at 100 MPH. That was when I only had the...

    what should I do

    Ok, here's the story. II got a pair of 255/50/16 MT ET Street Drag Radials for free off my brothers Camaro because he got slicks. They sat in my garage for about 3 months. I searched and searched for wheels for them so that I could use them, as we thought they were still usable (my other thread...

    Safe lifespan of ET Street Radials

    How worn do people typically let them get before replacing them? I got a set for free that is worn to the point that you only see the side treads. I've been told by many people that this is where they are their stickiest. But while mounting them today, noticed that you can see a tiny bit of...

    JLT2 intake rattle

    After a couple weeks of having my JLT2, I noticed that sometimes at low RPM under load, like when taking off, or with the A/C on sometimes, there is a very loud and annoying rattle. I have traced it to the heat shield on the JLT. I stuck little strips of dynomat between the plastic and the car...

    Will 05+ V6 wheels fit a GT?

    I've been trying for months to find a set of 16 inch wheels to mount a pair of M/T DRs I have laying around on. I've been looking for SN95 wheels to save money, but still haven't been able to find anyone that wants to sell me two of them. Now I am wondering if I can use new-style V6 wheels, I...

    Finally waxed my car

    I've been meaning to for months and finally got around to it. I washed, clay-barred, removed certains cratches, and put two coats of mquires gold glass wax. Man it was a pain and my arms feel like jello. But it was worth it. First lemme say one thing. Many people told me that there's no...

    Installed my JLT2/tune

    3 words. Worth. every. penny! I was a little skeptical about the quality of the JLT intake, but after having it in my hands it seems pretty good. It was a bit of a pain to get it installed (lining everything up perfect and making sure it was sealed on the throttle body), but other than that...

    My CAI/tune came today :)

    UPS dropped off my JLT CAI and X3 from Brenspeed today. I can't wait to install it and see what happens tomorrow. I was a little worried about the quality of the JLT piece after reading mixed reviews online, but now that I have it in my hand it looks to be pretty high quality. I approve...

    Two questions for those of you with offroad X pipes (or H pipes too)

    1. Does the offroad pipe sort of sound like it is leaking? I had a leak at the manifolds after I initially installed my Pypes offroad X, but fixed it. Now I am damn positive it DOESN'T leak anywhere, but is kinda has an exhaust leak sound. I am thinking since there is almost no restriction...

    Installed my offroad X pipe the other day

    First lemme say, it was incredibly easy. I had no fitment issues or anything whatsoever. The hardest part was the primary 02 sensor on the passanger side (unplugging it), but all in all getting the car up on stands took longer than the install I think. One little issue was that the 02 sensor...

    I can't believe I did this :(

    At my work, I park on the side of the building up against the wall. The spot is a slight hill going up towards the building. I always park in 1st gear, because I don't trust the parking brake on hills. Every day when I leave work, I get in, start the car, and just hold the clutch in while I...

    CAI - JLT Vs C&L and octane question

    I will be buying a CAI/tune in a week or two. Looking at them on Brenspeed, I came up with a question. The C&L is $100 more than the JLT CAI. It looks a little cooler, but other than that is there a performance benefit to it to make it worth the extra $100? I don't particularly care about...

    No cats vs. High flow cats

    I want my car to be a bit louder, but I am not sure about whether or not I want to go to a full off-road pipe. I was wondering, is there any benefit (performance wise) to high flow cats, like the bassanni X? Is there much of a gain if you have no cats vs. high flow cats? And are high flow...
