    New Brand of Brake Rotors? DBA

    I didn't see anything posted about this, so I figured I'd start a thread. Over on the Steeda website there seems to be a new brand offering rotors for Mustangs. DBA, or Disk Brakes Australia is what they're called, and they have some nice looking rotors. Who knows if the quality is any good...

    Odd PATS Key Question

    Here's a new one. I caller Ford directly, and a few dealerships, and no one had an answer. I did a google search, and that was a nightmare. I have in my hands a brand new shiny 2005 Mustang key. Only I drive a 2004. The head is redesigned, but the key part is identical, and can be cut to...

    Not Another Exhaust Question!

    Yeah it's time for this again. This time I'm guilty of being a noob. I've decided that I'm getting a Borla catback system, and everyone talkes about this Borla Stinger catback. Only Borla doesn't seem to sell one of those, but they do sell these... Borla Performance Industries - Products...

    Idea's for a retractable antenna...

    So I go out to my car today (04GT), and see that some douche bags stole my antenna. That get's me thinking that my replacement will HAVE TO be a hidden antenna, or a retractable. I always liked the idea of that sleeker look, and now this "confirms" the need for it. I did a search, here and...

    Too Short For This Mustang

    So I'm driving my Mustang to the (wherever) last month, then I'm there and wanna get out of my car. That's when I'm reminded of how short I am (5'4"). Getting in and out of a 2 door at this height, with a T-45 is a pain. I gotta sit so close to the dash board to be able to press the clutch...

    Does a Kenne Bell Really Scream?

    Everyone seems to be under the impression that the Kenne Bell superchargers make a howling sound at WOT. Anyone who ownes one, or who's been to bluegt.com knows the answer to this. Infact, the nature of a twin screw's compression is why it screams. Now I'm looking at the Kenne Bell 2.1L...

    The Best Gas Guzzlage

    You know the scam the government gives us? Driving the speed limit gives you the best gas milage? Well, it seems for my 04 stick shift GT, it gives me the best gas guzzlage. The speed limit on a road I drive every day, is 55mph. It seems that I either have to be in 4th gear at about 2500rpm...

    How many of these friggin things do you need?

    OK, this is about gauges. Take a look at the pic below... Now, this is from the pile that was in a sema car show. Some of you might know it. It used to be a Mach 1 coupe, until the guy detroyed it, and made it into a ricer chop top. Very sad. On top of that, I counted 14 gauged here...

    So I got this gt convertible, with a white top and white leather seats. When I was cleaning, ans crubbing the hell out of the top and seats, I noticed a few of those stains just don't want to come out. I tried the normal soap that the self service car wash spits out, preston interior cleaner...

    2004 Door Panels

    So I test drive a 2004 GT today, and the FIRST thing I notice is the door panels. I'm not kidding, it was really the first thing. I currently drive a 94 V6 convertible, and I restored the entire enterior. So, now I'm very familiar with every little inch of the inside of the 94-04 mustangs...

    A New Way To Make A V6 To V8 Engine Swap

    This thread is just for curiosity purposes, and to keep the V6 forums interesting. I am in no way seriously considering attempting this. This may looks like the same old question that's been asked over and over. "What does it take (time and money) to swap my V6 engine out with a V8? The...

    Another exhaust question

    I've done the searches (here and mustang exhaust forums), which are a huge help. I have an idea now what kind of exhaust I'm putting on my 6 banger. Since it is a V6, I'm more interested in it sounding good, than performance (cause the car's not gonna go much faster anyway). I do have a few...

    Do O2 sensors go bad?

    So I go to Mineky (don't know how to spell) to get my exhaust checked. My car has a strong smell, like a chemical, not gas. The guys there said my cats are plugged, and my o2 sensors are bad. They troubleshot my system by tapping on it with a screwdriver. The guys are morons, and that's why...
