After downloading the tune I noticed my speedo was still way off. Being new to the whole tuning concept I went into the...

    02 GT Midpipe Fit 04 Cobra??

    A friend of mine picked up an 04 Cobra at an auction and is going to resell it. It currently has an offroad pipe on it. He wants to make it smog legal so it will pass inspection for the new buyer. I have my stock H pipe with cats in storage and was going to sell it to him. Odd as it sounds to...

    Welding Flowmaster Catback??

    I installed my American Thunder yesterday and it is loud...REAL LOUD. It almost sounds like its dumped after the mufflers. In the directions from Flowmaster, they recommend welding the "slip fittings". The slip fitting would be where the tailpipe slips into the muffler outlet. They give you some...

    Flowmasters Installed :-)

    So I just finished installing my American Thunder catback and I LOVE IT!! Took about 5 hours all together. I had to use a hacksaw to get the stock catback off which took some time. I think it sounds great with my BBK O/R X-Pipe:D . It definitely has that raspy nascar sound to it, which I like...

    4:10's, 02 GT, Installed

    Well, I finally had my gears installed. Went with the 4:10's instead of 3:73's beacause I'm most likely going to stay NA. I must say, I'm not as impressed as I thought I was going to be. You can obviously feel a difference in torque and get up and go, but not as much as I expected. Took it on...

    Back Fire on Start?

    Whenever I start my 2002 GT, 70% of the time it seems to backfire. I wait 2 seconds and it starts with no problem. On the first attempt, it turns over begins to start followed by a pop or two pops out of the exhaust, then nothing. The only mods I have at the moment are BBK off road x-pipe with...

    Driver Power seat

    Just wanted to let those people who have an issue with their drivers side power seat what I found in mine. Since I had the car, the drivers side power seat would blow a fuse when I started the car and tried moving seat forward or backward. That also meant I could never use either one of the...

    Needle in a haystack

    O.K.......Grab a beer, sit down and I will explain this problem as best I can. About 2 weeks I was driving my 94 GT, which is mainly stock. I glanced down at the guages and they were all whacked out. My oil press. was pinned at high, it usually sits right in the middle. My temp. guage was up...
