    What superchargers work with 87 octane?

    Or do all superchargers require 91+? Thanks!

    Windows uneven!

    Hey guys. Just wondering if there's any way to make my windows go up and down evenly. The passenger side window goes up and down noticeably slower than the driver side window (it's not just slower, it is just plain slow too). This irks me because on my 1993 Explorer ALL the windows go up and...

    That MGW shifter is QUIET!!!

    As an acoustician I'm pretty sensitive to what I hear and don't hear so imagine my surprise when I hear the MGW transmitting LESS NOISE from the transmission into the interior than the stock shifter! God, I love it! :banana:

    Some vital info about your Mach 460/1000

    I spent the last two weekends replacing the stereo system in my Mustang (most of that time was spent making the custom mounts for the tweeters and the DDX7015 head unit). I'm an acoustician/physicist/electrical engineer by trade and a serious audiophile and let me tell you, the Mach 460 isn't...

    Kenwood DDX7015 install -- HELP!!!

    Has anyone here installed this unit in their Mustang? I'm installing one right now in my Stang and it's not fitting so good. Anyone have any pointers? Do I have to take it to a custom shop to get it fitted? Thanks.

    Just lowered my car

    Just lowered my car yesterday afternoon using the Eibach Pro Kit (for convertibles). It took me and a mechanic a couple hours. I thought he would be the one helping me but it turned out that I helped him do it. :rolleyes: Anyway, admittedly, I installed this kit just for looks (that jeep...

    Tilting headrest - wtf?

    So I go to order a couple of 4-way headrests. I call up genuine-ford-parts and the salesman asks for my VIN which I give to him. Well, it turns out that my car was supposed to have come with the 4-way headrests. Someone had switched them out before I got the car! WTF! :mad: I'm trying...

    Tilting headrest

    Hi guys. Just wondering if anyone knew the part number for the tilting headrest for the GT. I think it's time I replace those things on my front seats that Ford calls headrests. They're so lame!

    Mach 460 replacement - wire harnesses

    I'll be installing the Kenwood DDX7015 double-DIN DVD head unit soon and replacing the factory speakers with Infinity's. I will be using the head unit's amps (so I'll be taking out the factory amps). What wiring harnesses do I need? I know I'll have to do some wire cutting and splicing but I...

    Question about lowering

    After seeing JonJon's before-and-after pics in another thread, I just placed an order for an Eibach Pro-kit (for 04 GT convertible). Got it for $233.83 delivered from coximport.com. :) Question I have is how hard is it to install the new springs? I have access to a lift. Is it something...

    Stock GT geared well/not so well for highway??

    Driving on the highway in my Mustang is a bit of a conundrum. At around 60-65mph the engine will rev at roughly 3000rpm which is too high for my taste with respect to gas mileage. However, shifting to 5th gear brings the RPM all the way down to around 1700-1800 which is too low with respect to...

    Exhaust sound comparison...possible?

    I think my first mod may be the exhaust before I go with the supercharger. My question is, is there any way to compare the sound of the available exhaust systems? Are there high quality audio clips that we potential buyers can listen to before deciding? I want my car to sound GOOD but not...

    Argh! Scraped my rim on the curb!

    ..while parallel parking this morning (my rear right wheel). I keep driving my new Mustang like my Explorer where curbs just don't matter. :bang: Anyone have any ideas on how to smooth out the scrape? Is there a fix for this or do I just have to live with this eye sore? :shrug:

    Anyone else confuse 3rd with 1st?

    I find myself doing this a lot lately for some reason, twice in the last two days. I would shift into 3rd when I'm supposed to be in 1st gear (like when accelerating from a standstill). A couple friends did that too when they drove my car--like they would put it in 3rd gear instead of 1st when...

    Superchargers for my '04 GT/warranty

    A gearhead friend of mine is recommending the Vortech V-2 SQ S-Trim supercharger for my new Stang. Retails for $3889.95 (satin) and $4098.95 (polished). Are there any other superchargers worth looking into? I'm willing to spend the money as long as it's good. And what does this do for...

    High-Intensity Xenon bulbs from JC Whitney

    Anybody here use replacement bulbs from JC Whitney? I see that they have Super White Xenon and Ultra White Xenon 9007 headlight bulbs ($12.99 and $29.99 respectively) as well as Super White Xenon 899 fog light bulbs ($19.99). Do you think the Ultra White bulbs are worth the extra money? Do...

    Hi guys and gals. As you can tell I'm a rookie on this forum. It's such a great forum by the way--so many car experts on here! I got a new '04 all-black GT premium convertible a couple weeks ago with upgraded rims (5-spoke bright wheels), upgraded interior, and of course manual tranny. I've...
