    Putting 05+ seats in a 99-04 car (??)

    Background: I have always been on the look out for some '03/04 Cobra seats to drop into my '01. But they are always more than I can afford. I always thought that the '05+ cars had have much better seats than the 99-04. As countless '05s are made into race cars, there are planty of '05+ GT...

    Horrific experience with black ice

    I have lived in the Pittsburgh, PA area for about 1.5 years now, and I have been trying to manage my Mustang as a daily driver ... getting by reasonably well with all-season tires. Well ... two weeks ago, leaving work there was a small frozen-rain storm that coated all the roads. Driving home...

    Need help fixing ABS

    Background: I currently have the ABS warning light lit on the dash. My mechanic tells me it shows a "no communication" error. He said that with this specific error it is likely the entire ABS Control Module needs to be replaced, and not a sensor problem. My questions: 1) Is there a cheap...

    Replacement headlights: What did you do??

    On my '01, I have already taken the cleaning thing as far as I could. It is time for replacement. I am looking at getting the same OEM smoked housings I have now with some new Silver Star bulbs. Is this a good idea, or do you have a better suggestion for me? What did you do?

    Speaker replacement for 01GT w/ Mach 460

    (searched, but did not find much...) I recently replaced the existing Mach 460 headunit with an Alpine due to its iPod capabilities. This change makes it very clear that some speakers need to change. 1) How hard is it to get at the six speakers? Just pull off the grill and remove the...

    Bad front end squeek over bumps

    I did search, but could not find anything... The car: 01GT w/ 70k miles, Eibach Pro Kit springs, Tokico adjustable shocks/ struts, and (if it matters) offset steering rack bushings. The problem: Very bad squeek when going over almost any bumps. Going over speed bumps is downright...

    Using S197 brakes on our cars?

    It seems the current Mustang (05+) have bigger brakes than our 2004 and earlier cars. Is it possible to use their bigger rotors on our cars? Are the calipers better, too? I can't fund a (more deisrable, I know) Cobra brake conversion, and was looking for a possibly cheaper alternative...

    2005 seats in a 99-04 (?)

    The funds to pick up some 03/04 Cobra seats off of eBay always seem to elude me. But the new Mustang GT seats look pretty sweet (see pic below). My guess there will be hordes of them on eBay in a few months. Any thoughts on putting the 2005 GT seats in one of our cars? Are they comfortable...

    Available tire sizes for 17x10.5 rear rims (?)

    What are the available tire sizes for a 17x10.5" rear rim? I know that 315/35 is the popular choice, but are there any higher profile choices? I'd really prefer a 40 or 45 series to not take a big hit to ride quality. Also, I am planning on staying with the 245/45 up front (if that...

    S351 wing and Bullitt side scoops are on (W/ PICS)

    This pics show the Saleen S351 wing and Bullitt side scoops. I originally had an S281 wing, but that got stolen. I replaced it with the S351 you see here. In retrospect the S351 is a much better looking wing, and it comes in much better condition than S281. Regarding the side scoops I got them...

    UNplanned mod: Did I do something stupid? (tire experts, please)

    With the doughnut on, I went to get a tire repaired today. However, I was told it was way beyond repair and needed replacement. Since I needed all new tires anyway, it did not make much sense to get just one tire -- so I replaced all four. The "best performance tire in stock" ... which I...

    New mods in: painted Cobra mirrors & chin spoiler (w/ pics)

    Okay, I could not resist. I got the Cobra mirrors new for $80 ea off eBay. One was the wrong the color. So since I was having that one painted, I figured I might as well as have the black base on both of them painted, too ... so the all of the mirrors are mineral gray (a stock Cobra mirror...

    I absolutely want new seats, primarily 03 Cobra or the Focus SVT euro-option black-leather Recaros. However, it looks like the new '05 GT leather-option seats look like pretty decent seats. True, or are my eyes deceiving me? My guess is that once the car hits there will be a decent supply of...
