    '67 Mustang: To buy or not to buy?

    I have recently found a '67 Mustang for sale nearby and am thinking about buying it as an investment. It is only the 6 cylinder model but it has the original engine with 90k miles on it and everything about the car seems to be in really good condition including the paint. Like I said, this is...

    Opinions on building up a N/A motor

    I originally had plans on buying a turbo kit for my mustang this summer but for some reason I just keep thinking about blowing my engine or something else terrible. So I think I want to buy a rotating assembly in order to put some better internals in my engine. I was also figuring that since I...

    Shock Problem...

    I am attempting to install some shocks on my mustang and I can't figure out how you get the bolt off that is securing the top of the shock to the trunk. The shock just spins as I twist the bolt. Does anyone know of a good way to keep the shock from rotating so that I may take it off?

    BMR LCA Installation Help

    I am trying to install the BMR lower control arms and in the instructions it says that I have to unhook the brake cable. Does this mean I have to bleed the brakes and if so is there any way around it. If I do have to bleed the brakes, could anybody supply me with a step-by-step process to do...

    New Look for the Stang

    New Look for my Stang I FINALLY got the hood that I bought way back in June painted and on my car. Since it took so long to get it going I decided to get a CDC chin spoiler and some Roush window louvers as well. The pics aren't the best quality, but I should have some more soon. Enjoy...

    Shifter install Problem

    I am attempting to install a hurst shifter into my '05 GT and am having a problem removing the bolt that attaches the long arm (I don't know its real name) to the transmission housing. I can't seem to get to it with a ratchet since there is a bump on the underside of the car and it makes it so...

    Aftermarket Shifters

    I did a search in the tech section to see what kind of aftermarket shifters people are using, but I couldn't really find any good input. I was looking at the Steeda, Hurst, and B&M shifters (I don't believe the MGW is out yet). I am just trying to get peoples opinions on these three shifters...

    Window Louvers

    I am considering purchasing the Roush window louvers for my Mustang and was wondering if i could get some input from some people that have louvers installed on their cars already. My main concern is the reduced visibility so I just wanted some input on others' experiences with them.

    3V P&P Heads

    It has been a little while since anyone said anything about p&p heads for our S197s and I was just wondering if anyone knew what type of power you would gain from such a modification. The only ones I have found were the ones made by BBR and they are going for 1600 or something like that, but I...

    Just got my Mustang Tuned

    I just got back from the dyno and am happy with the results. My best pull showed me with 289 rwhp and 308 ft-lbs/tq with an A/F of 12.87. Not bad for only an X-pipe and CAI :banana: .

    Finally Installed my Bassani's!

    After 4 runs to Home Depot and 4-5 hours of labor (by two complete noobs, lol) I have finally installed my Bassani X-pipe and hiflow cats. I would have to say the hardest part of the installation was getting the entire system on underneath the car since you basically had to shift everything...

    Bassani X-pipe Install

    I just recieved my X-pipes and was wondering if anyone had some tips for installation. This is the biggest thing I have installed myself so I am just trying to get some pointers.

    Predator Question

    Recently I have decided I want to go with SCTs tuner and wish to get rid of my Predator. The reasons for this are because the place where I am getting my car tuned speciallizes in SCTs stuff and it would probably be a lot easier if I had their product, and I have heard that the Xcalibrater is a...

    Steeda CAI Questions

    I just installed a Steeda CAI and have two questions about it. First, my neighbor said that I might have to install a new thermostat, I was just wondering if this is true or not? Second, I was test driving the car after the install and noticed what sounded like air "thumping" (I can't think of...

    I am expecting my car to be in next week so I thought I better get this out of the way. I know I that a few of you payed for your cars in cash instead of doing the monthly payments. I am planning to do this, but since I have never done this before I just had a few things I would like to have...

    Anyone From N.C. order a 2005 Mustang?

    I posted a similar thread in the SouthEast section, but didn't have much luck so I thought I would try here. I was just wondering if anyone from North Carolina or any adjacent states who ordered a 2005 Mustang could tell me how long it took from build date until you picked the car up at the...

    Anyone here order a 2005 Mustang?

    I thought about posting this in the 2005+ Talk section, but thought it would be more effective here, so sorry if it should be in a different section. I was just wondering if anyone here ordered a 2005 Mustang from a dealer in North Carolina or a bordering state. My car was built on the 13th...
