    Failed inspection

    Failed Emissions I live in Virginia and I just went to have my emissions test done so I can renew my registration before the end of the month and the guy told me that my computer had been messed with lately and he was unable to test my car. He told me to put about 150 more miles on it and...

    BMR's - Very Little Drop

    Thumper, how do you like the Steeda sport springs. I'm thinking of getting them. I have the Steeda Ultralites right now, but I heard the sport springs are much better.

    Super Snake...605hp and 12.5 quarter mile...WTF?

    Plus, it's a crapload more money! I agree with you Kooldawg--we're comparing apples to oranges here. Ranger makes a good point, too. These cars can't be all things to all people, but guess what--they're pretty damn close when you take a good look at it. And Ford realizes what a great...

    Teaching a newbie stick on S197

    I echo all of the above, but be ready to be frustrated unless she's just a natural at it.:bang: These cars are fun to drive, yes, after you're accustomed to driving a stick with a high performance engine on the other side of it. Get ready to smell a lot of clutch once you start letting her...

    Radar Detectors

    How did you hardwire it and where did you mount the unit? I have a v1 that I haven't used much because I live in Virginia where it's illegal, but if I could hardwire it and hide it, I'd do it.

    Top Speed with Tunes

    I can verify that hood comment. I had mine up around 120 once and the front edges of the hood kept trying to come up. It was pretty scary. Hood pins aren't a bad idea.

    Would you trade-in for a C5 Corvette?

    Not to add fuel to the fire because I love my '06 GT, but when the GT500 came out, didn't Car & Driver or Road & Track or Motor Trend or one of those car mags test it head to head against a C6 Corvette and the vette pretty much beat the GT500 in almost every category? Or am I mis-remembering...

    Steeda Ultralight Springs

    Thanks, Bullitt2343, that's the kind of info I was looking for. As I said before, it does feel like the stock struts/shocks just can't handle these springs. Thanks again for the info. BTW, I'm in Virginia and I got the work done at Springfield Motorsports in Lorton, VA.

    If not a Mustang, then what?

    That's a great car, Kooldawg! I've been wanting to build a Factory Five Cobra for quite awhile now. Originally, I was planning to use parts from my 88 GT, but it's starting to be more valuable now since it has t-tops and they're getting very scarce.

    Steeda Ultralight Springs

    I guess I can understand how it might sound trivial to you, but so far I've spent over $2000 on mods and I'd like to think I'm improving my car and not making it worse. They did re-align the car after installing the springs and, in fact, they said they had to add some camber bolts to make it...

    Steeda Ultralight Springs

    I finally had my new Steeda Ultralights installed last week along with the Steeda UDPs. At first it didn't look like they lowered the car at all, but then I realized it was about an inch in front and about an inch and a half in back, but now I'm noticing something else and I wonder if anyone...

    New Owner, Free Mods?

    I just got ultralites put on my 06 GT yesterday and at first I didn't think it looked like it was any lower but I had measured the height before I had them installed and I actually dropped about 1 1/2" in back and 1" in front. It was 29.5" in back and 29" in front now it's 28" all around.

    camber bolts

    Thanks, man, I appreciate the thought. I just called the guy back and he said they had found a local supplier that had them for $40, so I'll just go ahead and do that even though I 'm not sure it won't line up without them. It's still better than $114. Thanks again for the info and quick...

    camber bolts

    Can anybody online right now tell me how much a set of camber bolts for a 2006 Mustang GT should cost from Ford. I have my car at Springfield Motorsports in Lorton, VA to put on my set of Steeda ultralight springs and the guy just called me and said that I should let them put on a set of camber...

    Lowering my '06 GT

    Thanks, guys, for all the replies. I appreciate the help. It looks like I'll just have the springs installed and we'll see what happens, but I think they only lower the back by 1.5" at the most, so I don't think I'll need the adj. PB. Thanks, again for all the help and advice. :)

    Lowering my '06 GT

    Okay, I need some help and advice. I'm getting ready to lower my '06 Mustang GT. I bought a set of Steeda Ultralights, but since I bought them I've heard that you shouldn't lower these S197's without also installing an adjustable panhard bar and possibly a set of caster/camber plates. First...

    I, too, would like to add my thanks to all who have served and thanks to MarineOne for remembering that this holiday means a lot more than just the beginning of summer. I served for 18 months in Vietnam and it's very heartwarmng to be associated with a group who can take a few minutes to stop...

    Problems after applying tune

    Thanks for all the help, guys. My car wasn't acting quite so bad yesterday, so maybe it is just a matter of time and it will smooth out. I'm taking a trip this weekend and we'll see how it acts after that. Thanks again.
