    Spring Break Project - S197 seats

    Couldn't believe it - after watching them come and go on eBay and scouring the boards for months, there was a set out of a 2007 GT at a local dismantler in the right color (and leather to boot!) and at a good price. A lot of dust from sitting in a warehouse for who knows how long but only 30K...

    S197 mufflers on a SN95

    If you're not above a little cutting and welding, you can make them work. My old Flowmasters, which were on the car when I bought it, were completely hollowed out by rust. One of started rattling a couple of months ago and when I took it off to investigate, there was almost nothing left...

    Erratic Speedometer behavior

    For a couple of months now my speedo has been hanging up occasionally at 50 MPH and then jumping up to the correct speed once you get up to 60 or 65 and then it tracks correctly unless you dip below 50 and it gets hung up again. It was a mild annoyance but it wan't annoying enough to do...

    Exhaust Hangers/Isolaters - how many do I need?

    How many of these guys do I need for my '96 GT? I'm at work and can't crawl around under the car right now to count but I think there's four, right? Two in the back and a couple in the middle around the end of the mid-pipe. I need to pick some up today and replace them before my exhaust...

    Mach 460 rear tray - will '99 tray fit in my '96?

    Will the Mach 460 tray from a 1999 Mustang fit in my 1996? The previous owner took the enclosure for the woofers out of mine when they installed an aftermarket sub but didn't replace it when they took their stuff out and traded in the car. The junkyard down the street just got a '99 in...

    Redline Leather stuff, MN12 Steering wheels and other random sutff

    Recently installed a leather shift boot and parking brake boot from Redline Goods, replacing the yucky factory vinly shift boot and the torn, half missing rubber parking brake gasket. Also temporarily replaced my sad steering wheel with a less sad one I scored out of a 1994 Cougar at the...

    HVAC system - heater not blowing very hot

    My heater temperature output seems to have been dropping off lately. I started noticing it last year but it's really down this year. There is still warm air coming out of it so I'm getting some heat from it but not the scalding hot air I used to get from it - I used to be able to turn the car...

    PI Intake swap postmortem

    Finished up the final touches on a PI Intake swap on my '96 GT this morning. I started on Tuesday but between crappy cold and drizzly weather, me not being in a big hurry and unanticipated delays, it took a couple extra days. I've been wanting to do the PI swap forever but kept putting it off. I...

    The "How much oil does my 4.6L take?" debate settled once and for all, finally!

    I've joked about this a few times but I had the owners manual out the last night and here it is and double checked to make sure I hadn't imagined it... Fluids & Capacities, Page 319: Service Station Information, Page 356: So there you go... it's 6 quarts. Or 5 quarts :shrug: :crazy...

    Cracking Intake Imminent? Or just a failing gasket?

    About a month ago, my '96 GT developed a really bad misfire on the way to work. A quick, lunch time inspection didn't reveal anything and that night I checked all the plugs, wires and tested the coil packs and didn't find anything but the misfire was gone when I put it all back together. CEL...

    Aftermarket Headunit Options for Mach 460 - Pioneer DEH vs. ???

    I'm planning on replacing the factory Mach460 receiver and CD player since buttons are starting to fall off and I have to keep a paper clip handy to turn it on & off and eject CDs. I was going to look for some decent used factory pieces since I'm satisfied with the performance of the 460 but...
