    Pics of my new car...GTO

    As I mentioned in my "looking for a new car" post, I just picked up an '06 GTO. It is cyclone grey metallic. It has the Sports Appearance Package (SAP) with different front grill, rocker panels and rear bumper. In addition, it has a magnaflow exhaust with split tips. It's a 6-speed, of...

    Dad's 5.4L F-150.. hard starts, high idle, rough idle... IAC?

    My dad has an 03 F150 he bought new with 21k on the clock. I notice that sometimes it has a hard time starting, mostly when the engine is cold (but not only when it sits overnight). Like today after watching a movie, I needed to crank it for like 4 or 5 seconds... When cold, the engine...

    Looking for a new car..

    Story here I got a call from the body shop...the guy I talked to was cool, he has a new edge GT also with a KB he got done at Apex Motorsports in Santa Clara. He could feel my pain... anyways, the damage to the car was 150% of the car's worth...dang. Totaled. Anyways, I have narrowed it...

    Dammit... the stang is dead

    Took a turn in the rain, hit a pole (slammed against the drivers side door). I'm very sure it's totalled.. (even the dash board is cracked and the ignition is hard to turn. AIrbags didnt go off though. I had my window down which was a good thing.) I'll have to try to get some of my parts...

    New Pics (Washed, Waxed, new centercaps)

    I just washed the stang on this glorious afternoon... and used Amoral Wax-It-Dry (reviewed in Consumer Reports in mid-pack...but very easy to use!) I couldn't find my new camera, so I had to use my old one... but hooked it onto my tripod.. Enjoy:

    Put on my new vinyl centercaps

    I got them from Autobadges.com. Speedy customer service...I didn't receive the shipment, they sent out another with no hassel, so I am pleased. The local post office seems to lose things a lot anyways. I was second guessing my decision for silver background and black lettering, but once...

    nail in tire...patch?

    I have a nail in my rear tire... right in the middle (treads). I searched, but couldn't find anything... I assume a tire shop can patch a tire of this size (295/35/18). Has anyone run into problems with tire shops not doing this for some reason?

    Is the stock tachometer really inaccurate?

    I did some searching today, because I (carlessly) accidently revved a bit passed 6250 in 1st gear this morning. I don't normally do this and I've never mis-shifted (over-revving it that way). The car seems to be running fine, no smoking or abnormal sounds (although I'm paranoid) Anyways, a...

    White Stangs... Clay/Wax/Polish come in..

    I noticed there were no threads on cleaning/waxing/polishing white stangs... Maybe we can get one started (w/ pics = even cooler) Today, I used Mothers Clay Bar System. I washed with 1/2 Meguiars Gold + 1/2 Dawn Then dried (with the California Water Blade, makes drying easy) I used the...

    Did I blow the sub or kill the amp?

    I have a Lightning Audio 2-channel amp paired with one Alpine Type S sub. I've had it installed in the stang (to the stock mach 460, with rca converter) for a while and had it in my old car before that. Last night, I was slumping E-40 "Muscle Cars" and all of the sudden smelled a burning...

    Dyno results--ahhh part 2

    My turn... I got my car dynotuned (with SCT 6600) by Apex today... Best run was 249rwhp and 288rwtq. I thought it seemed pretty low for my mods...Ed, the tuner, thought it was normal. Mods are in the sig, note the 18" DD Bullitts... It was on a Dynojet.

    'Zip' sound coming from shifter from 2nd-3rd

    Okay, this is a weird one. When I shift to 2-3, sometimes a somewhat loud 'zip' sound emits from (I believe) the shifter. Now it doesn't happen all the time, but it gives me goosebumps when it does... it seems to only happen when I stay on the clutch a bit too long when taking off from a stop...

    Have to clean my Accufab 75mm TB every few months

    I find myself having to clean my Accufab 75MM TB every few months. The gas pedal feels as though it sticks, thus resulting on jerky shifts/acceration... and it's hard to drive smooth. TB spray cleaner definently helps. There doesn't seem to be any leaks or anything that would indicate dirt is...

    Is my TOB dying?

    About a year ago, my car developed the intermidate(sp) squeel when the clutch pedal is not pushed in. It doesn't happen all that much, when it does, I just tap the clutch pedal with the top of my shoe. Now, sometimes my clutch feels "rough" or "crunchy" when I press it. Kind of hard to...

    Remote Wire Hookup..

    Yeah, another remote wire hookup thread.. I can't find a solid answer.. I have a stock headunit... I wired my Lightning Audio amp up with my Alpine Type S sub and everything is complete except for the remote wire. I jumped the remote wire/power wire to test, and everything is working...

    Car sizzles when I shut it off...

    I noticed this once before but a lot today. For a few minutes after turning off my car, I hear a sizzling noise. The A/C or defrost isn't on, so it isn't condensation... and its 70 degrees out. It sounds like its coming from inside the cats on my Mac H-pipe! Do cats tend to sizzle...? Water...

    Squeeking sound... brakes/caliper or clutch??

    My car makes this squeeking sound... like the squeeking sound a semi truck makes when it accelerates from a stop... Happens once in a while... only from a stop/slow speeds... I cant tell if it's a sticking caliper or a clutch problem... I'm thinking it's a brake issue... but Im not sure of...
