    Anyone have the optional Ford Safety Package?

    I’m referring to the optional package that includes adaptive cruise control, automatic emergency braking assist and lane keep assist. I’m trying to figure out if this option package also includes a full 360 degree perimeter camera or sensors to assist with parking. I would like the automated...

    Test drove a 2019 GT automatic today

    I was very impressed with the car overall and the automatic transmission. In fact, the biggest reason I wanted to test drive one was to see how the automatic was. I probably went into it with a slight expectation that I’d dislike it, but I thought it was great! The one I test drove had the...

    Anyone have any idea if Ford has plans to make the auto trans "shiftable"?

    I REALLY want a new stang...but I really like the the "manual mode" in my current auto-equipped car. Before anyone says "get a manual"....I had a manual 2001 GT and would get a new stang with a manual if I could...not an option this time around. Doesn't Ford already put shift paddles in...

    Recent brake job, now front caliper creaks!

    I had a local speed shop install new pads and rotors about 6,000 miles ago (late spring). When I got the car back, the brakes felt totally different than my stockers - there was no immediate reaction when I hit the brake pedal. Over time, that sensation pretty much went away. The car has...

    Interstate battery v. Stock Battery-weight savings opportunity!

    This isn't for the hardcore stangers, but for those of you who like me don't mind getting a little weight savings or performance gain when replacing a worn part, get the Interstate MT-58 battery to replace your stocker when the time comes. No, it isn't as light as some of those small...

    Satellite Radio mount and location ideas?

    I just bought an XM radio (think it's the audiovox Xpress) and I'm having trouble finding a good aftermarket mount. I don't want to use the sticky tape that came with the unit - I want to mount it on the side of the HVAC/radio trim cover (passenger side, but under the pass airbag area.) Any...

    MRT Max Thunder Catback

    Recently installed my MRT 409 stainless steel catback on my car and I must say I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase. I used to have flowmaster deltaflow 2-chambers on the stock system, and I loved the sound but wanted a full stainless steel catback and the 3.5" angle cut tips. The exhaust...

    Installing struts & shocks this weekend - anything I need to know before I start?

    Just bought Tokico Illuminas for the front and Bilstein rear shocks. Couple of questions: Is this as straightforward as it seems? The rears seem like a breeze other than removing the interior trunk trim. How can I remove the interior trunk trim without breaking it? Any advice that...

    Bullitt v. Steeda's Sport Springs - need spring rate info

    What's the spring rate for these two spring sets (front and back)? I'm in the market for new rear shocks and was considering bilsteins and KYBs but thought maybe the bullitt rear shocks would be a good match for my Steeda Sport SPrings. If the spring rates are similar, I might be inclined to...

    Suspension advice needed

    My daily driver 01 GT 5-speed seems to sway/axle hop worse than I ever could remember. I think the car has about 35 passes at the strip, 10 with Nitto DRs. I have Steeda Sport Springs and soon want to make the following changes to my rear suspension: Energy Suspension poly control arm...

    3650 TSB and lower fluid level

    Just wanted to post my experience in messing with lower, different fluid levels with the 3650 tranny. I got a copy of the TSB that applies to the 3650 owners complaining about gear clash/grind on the 1-2 and 2-3 shift especially when cold. Part of the TSB recommends using regular Mercon ATF...

    Can I use the MAF housing from an 02 GT with my MAF sensor from an '00?

    Just curious if you can use the '02 MAF housing with the '00 MAF Sensor. This isn't for my car - it's for a 2000 GT.

    Is there an easy way to clean DR gunk off your rear fenders?

    I can't recall for the life of me what I used to get this off my car previously. I used gasoline and a rag today, which did remove most of it, but I'm wondering if there's a better way!

    Question about EEC at WOT

    What sensors are still feeding info to the EEC during WOT operation? IAT? MAF? TPS? Oil Pressure? Oil Temp? I've read up a few things about the EEC on my 01 and I'm just trying to determine if at WOT (open loop) the air/fuel is totally controlled by pre-set WOT tables or if the EEC still...

    MRT H-pipe & deltaflows!

    Just got my MRT H-pipe with cats installed today. If you like the flowmaster sound like I do (I have deltaflows clamped into the stock catback), then you'll like this h-pipe. The basic flowmaster signature sound is still there, only it's a little amplified and definitely sounds significantly...

    stock v. aftermarket 17 X 9 wheel/tire combo weight info inside

    Installed my new 17 x 9 Bullitt rims (manufactured by Detroit Wheels, purchased at Jegs for $129 each) along with 275/40/17 Nitto DRs. Stock 17 x 8 Bullitt rim with stock 245/45/17 Goodyears that have 24,000 miles on them - 44 lbs. 17 x 9 rim and Nitto 275/40/17 - 48 lbs Not nearly as...

    Bought some Nitto's - a few questions

    Bought some 17 x 9 bullitts and 275/40/17 Nitto DRs today. I just noticed that the 17 x 9's with the 275 DRs are actually a little taller than the stock 17 x 8's with 245s on it. Maybe a 1/2 inch. Will this mismatch in diameter between the front tires and the rear tires cause me any problems...

    Are the stock 2001 Bullitt mustang rims exactly the same as the stock 2001 GT rims?

    I'm about ready to order these 17 x 9 rims: http://www.wheelreplicas.com/newbullit.htm but I'm just not sure if these are the same as my stock GT Premium bullitt rims. I want these rims to match my stock 17 x 8 rims, but I just don't know if the stock bullit mustang rims are/were the same as...

    Installed my Accufab TB / Plenum today

    I am really glad I bought this these pieces. Not only do they look great, but like many others I also felt a little extra kick, expecially from 3000 - 5500 range. I felt nothing really from my Steeda pullies, but I can honestly say there's a few more horses pulling my stang after these mods...
