    Idle speed won't go below 1500 while moving

    99 Mustang GT. Previously had stock air intake, TB, and plenum with 1/2 inch aluminum spacer between Plenum and intake. Idled perfectly - rpms dropped quickly and stayed there. Originally installed spacer and that cured the idle hanging in the stock system for me. Just installed Accufab...

    KW CoilOver Suspension

    Anyone have the KW Coilover suspension - variant 1? I've heard a few good things about them in magazines, but I was trying to find some real people experiences. The guys at my local race shop said they love them. Might be a little overkill on my daily driver, but I placed my order anyway...

    Anyone have Niche Performance (NPI) hood?

    http://www.nichepi.com/94-04mustang.htm I've heard a lot of stories about them, but nothing first hand. Has anyone ordered one of their cobra 2000 NPI functional heat extractor hoods... carbon or fiberglass? The vents can be closed underneath. Just wondering how it worked... notice any...

    Defective tire stem - is my tire ok?

    So 1 month ago, I got new tires and wheels (BBS RK 17x9 with 275 Kumho on all 4). When I pulled out of the garage on Saturday, the car felt sluggish and the rear left tire looked a little low. I had to run some errands and figured I could fill it up at the gas station by the grocery store...

    Does anyone make a smooth hood for 99-04 GT?

    The stock ones have the fake scoop and a lot of after market have the cowl. Late cobras do have the functional heat extractor. I was wondering if anyone made a smooth hood for 99-04? No scoop or bumps or cowls or vents? Kind of like the 94-98 style hood? I saw this Bondo item at the store...

    Would the Mach tubing/seal fit under a GT hood?

    Anyone ever try to fit the Mach shaker plumbing under the stock GT hood? I'm not even sure that the shaker part that sticks up through the hood is separate from the black plastic tubing that routes down to the air filter. So I guess that's 2 questions. Does the tubing come separate? And will...

    Alignment after getting wider wheels?

    I've got a 99 GT with stock 17x8 wheels. Should I get an alignment after putting on 17x9? I know it can't hurt (except my wallet)... but I just had one at the beginning of the summer so it's not like it needs it now. Thanks, Jim

    17" BBS RX or BBS RK: looking for photos of

    Just about made up my mind on new wheels. I have a 1999 GT with stock wheels. Was looking for something light with that FR500/spider pattern. The BBS RX 17x9 are pretty light and within my budget. But I can't find any pics of Mustangs with them? Thanks, Jim

    Is my 90K 99GT too old for a new H pipe?

    I've got a 99GT with 90K miles on it. Engine runs great since I've owned it for the last 45K miles. It's a daily driver that will probably never see track time. II've kept it mostly stock except for Steeda pulleys, KB sub frame connectors, MM CC Plates, and MRT Street suspension kit. I just...

    Suspension clunk and steering rack bushings

    I have a 1999 GT and I had MM CC plates with MRT Street Suspension installed last year. Ever since then, there's been a weird clunk/pop noise in the front suspension when weight shifts from side to side in the car. It alrernates turning left and right and will easily do it in tight turns over...

    How to diagnose cc plate clunk/pop?

    I have a 99 GT that's has a clunk/pop in the suspension when the weight shifts in the car or when turning over a bump at slow speeds. It started after installing MM caster plates and MRT street suspension kit. I've found a lot of threads on the topic (including my own) but I'm still not able...

    When to grease serviceable tie rod ends?

    When I had my tie rod ends replaced I had the shop put in ones with grease fittings. Now I have a bunch of questions about it. What kind of grease should I use- regular chassis grease? When should I grease them... when they look dry or is that too late? Can you over-grease them? Thanks, Jim

    Noise when turning after suspension work

    I'm at my wits end! If any one has any ideas I'd love to hear them. I have a 99 GT that I had suspension work on a few months ago. MRT Street kit, Maximum Motorsports CC plates, replacement outer tie rods, poly bushings and spring isolators. Ever since the install, there's been a clunk/pop...

    new suspension, now it pops when I turn the wheel all the way and drive

    I know I've seen this posted before, but I can't seem to find it anymore. If anyone can point me to the post, or just let me know if you have a solution, etc I'd appreciate it. I have a 99 Mustang GT. I recently had some suspension work done: MRT Street kit (springs, Tokico shocks), poly...

    Replacing Sway bar end links

    The bushing on my top driver side sway bar end link looks pretty worn. I've got new end links with poly bushings from Maximum Motorsports. How hard of a job is this to do myself? Is it just a matter of unbolting the old one and bolting up the new one? Or do I have to remove a lot of other...

    Just ordered some suspension parts... did I forget anything?

    I have a 99 Mustang w/ 80K miles. I need to get 2 new tires and the stock shocks are pretty worn out so I figured I'd do those at the same time. So I just placed an order for the MRT Street kit and Maximum Motorsports CC plates, MM poly spring isolators and MM swaybar end-links (stock end...

    Eibach Pro System Kit?

    Does anyone have an eibach pro-system kit and have any problems with it? This kit has the Pro-Kit Springs and Pro-Dampers shocks and struts which are supposedly valved specifically for the springs. I've never really heard of eibach shocks- not sure who actually makes them and I didn't know...

    Bullitt/Cobra front brakes and GT spare tire

    I just installed the bullitt front brake kit on my 99 GT (stock wheels). I know the GT spare tire won't fit on the front now because of the bigger brakes. A lot of places recommend buying the cobra spare... and I know I could just put the spare on the rear and move a rear wheel to the front...

    Deep dish performance

    I've got a daily driven 99 GT coupe- stock gearing, pulleys, shifter, sub frame connectors. My stock rims are looking pretty beat up and the tires need replacing soon. I was thinking about the 10.5 deep dish bullitts in the rear. I know that going from 17" to 18" wheels will seem to hurt...

    front end squeak when turning wheel - rack and pinion?

    Hi, My car has been making a squeaking noise for a while now. It happens when the wheels are turned left and right. I jacked it up yesterday and it sounds like it's coming from the driver's side. I'm not sure if it's the rack and pinion but it sounds like the problem is under the rubber...
