    Hood Scoop Fixing

    I've just bought a very nice painted hood scoop from The Spoiler Store on ebay and just like the GT500 spoiler, it's top notch. However, they supply two screws to screw through the hood which i have no intention of doing. Certain scoops like the 3D carbon only use 3M tape. This scoop has tape...

    LSD in 2005s - simple question, no guessing.

    It's hard to find any reference to an LSD in any of Ford's many tracts on the GT. Simple question. Does the 2005 GT have an LSD as standard. Is there a code on the car that confirms it. Thanks.

    Metco Motorsports

    Are they still trading? Had some billet LCAs from them in 2005 but the car has done very few miles (still only 9000). Since Day One I've had creaking like a wooden galleon. Tended to loosen, tighten, grease the hell out of them with synthetic white grease, you name it I did it, sometimes it...

    Pics of silver with painted hood?

    I'm thinking of having the hood painted in this sort of style: My car is Satin Silver and I'm wondering whether to have it done either black, Alloy Silver or even a ghost silver - either one shade lighter or darker. Anyone done this?

    Would you buy a breadvan style estate?

    Just thought I'd post thius link to a little discussion we're having on our UK forum concerning the desirability or otherwise of a more practical Mustang fastback estate. These are a couple of photoshops. My view is it could be a fast-selling alternative to the regular coupe (rather than a...

    Floppy door handles

    Not a problem with mine but some of the UK Stangs are reporting floppy doorhandles. Is it a simple fix or a replacement handle?

    Weld Evo Chrome 20" Forge Star Wheels

    Hi there. Hope someone can point me in the right direction here. I know someone here has these wheels and I was hoping you might know who as I have a major problem with mine. I was one of the original buyers of the Weld Evo Chrome Forge Star wheel back in November 2005. Due to import delays...

    Magnetic tail panel

    I've just ordered one of these off ebay but was wondering if anybody here had tried it and wondered what your experience was. I went for this because the back of the car tends to get the dirtiest and the honeycomb one looks a nightmare to keep clean plus this has the advantage of being...

    Anyone with billet LCAs in here!

    I've posted this problem before but I'm hoping there will be more out there now who might be able to shed some light on this: 1. The car is fitted with Metco billet LCAs torqued to around 80lb/ft 2. The car is also lowered on Roush springs. 3. When I initially fitted them, the LCAs were...

    Shelby GT500 vs Monaro VXR in the UK

    Look away now if you're a die-hard Mustang fan. I should say straight away that the Monaro VXR is not your average Pontiac GTO but the UK version of the HSV which is way way better than the stock Holden item. Still, you might think modifying a GT is a better route...

    Anyone got a Vortech 462hp dyno graph?

    I've got a Vortech 462hp intercooled kit on my 05 and very nice it is too but it's only since fitting it that I've learnt more about superchargers and the differences between low rpm boost screw types and high rpm boost centrifugal types. In order to set my shift light and work out where the...

    Problems wiring a Raptor shift light

    Wondering if anyone has one on a 2005 and if so, can you post exactly where you made your connections. I cannot get mine to work at all. I was ultra methodical. Set all switches down for single coil feed. I have a soldered ring connector on the black wire to the fuse box earth. I...

    Spec Stage 2 Clutch. Which flywheel?

    I've got a Vortech chargecooled 05 with the 462bhp and 417lb ft torque and so am going with the Specs stage 2 clutch. However, you have to have a SPECS flywheel and you have the option of a steel one of an aluminium one with a steel replacable insert. It's about $100 difference so which do you...

    Wow! A UK mag praises the Roush Mustang!

    A magazine here in the UK included a supercharged Roush Mustang in their Performance Car Of The Year shootout. Now it's fair to say that most American cars get a rough ride on many fronts so the end result was a bit of a shocker. It came equal 3rd out of 13. The test is one of pure driving...

    Got my Vortech fitted.

    I have to say that in the looks department, this Vortech chargecooled system really does it for me. It's also a beautiful car to drive. It's docile in traffic, surprisingly "normal" to drive" with just taht background increase in torque and power to play with and by heck, when you press the...

    Big Brake Kits

    Anyone got any experience of these. I've been looking at LM Performance and some other sites and they range from a 2 piston Baer GT Plus 14" kit for $900 which I don't think comes with ss lines or anything to a 4 piston Wilwood for about $1800 to 6 pot racing brakes for well over $2500. I'm...
