    swapped instrument cluster - car wont start - 2011 GT

    I swapped the instrument cluster on my 2011 Mustang GT 6MT and now the car won't start. The new cluster powers up, but the car will not start. I thought the whole issue with PATs and instrument clusters was an earlier generation mustang issue, not the 2011+? Anyway to make this work without...

    Drivetrain Need A Flywheel - Any Suggestions? 2000 Gt T45

    My clutch blew at my first time out at the track this past weekend, and my mechanic said that I may need a new flywheel because of the fact that the clutch smoked. I was hoping to simply get it machined but he said it may need to be replaced after all that heat. The car only has 50k miles on it...

    Installed Aftermarket Headunit With Mach460 - Volume Is Now Very Low..

    I installed an Alpine IDA-X001 headunit with the Metra 70-5510 into my 2000 GT with the stock Mach460 amps/speakers. The volume has decreased significantly compared to the OEM mach460 headunit. I suspect there is a voltage issue (the Alpine headunit uses 2v preouts). Has anyone had this issue...

    My Atlantic Blue 2000 GT on BBS RKs and other mods...

    Nice weather this weekend, so I managed to claybar and wax the car... I really need an orbital random buffer. Also got a new camera and wanted to try it out, so I decided to shoot at Queens Park in Toronto. Still have no real idea how to use it, so I kept it in auto mode for the most part...

    QA1 rear shocks have no dust cover - any options?

    I went to install my QA1 adjustable rear shocks today, and noticed there was no dust cover protecting the shaft. I tried to remove the covers from the OEM shocks, but couldn't. Are there any aftermarket options to protect the shafts of these shocks? I do not want debris to damage and reduce the...

    94-98 sail panels on 99-04?

    Has anyone tried to install 94-98 sail panels on a 99-04? The reason I ask is that they look like they "may" fit, and have the nice angled window cutout like the Bullitt and Mach 1.

    anyone running H&R SS springs without caster/camber plates?

    I recently finished installing the front H&R SS springs with both the top and bottom isolators on the front of my 2000 GT with Strange Engineering struts (I still have to swap my rear eibachs out for the H&R SS springs). I did not install my Steeda 3 bolt caster/camber plates, because I was...

    are strange engineering and QA1 struts/shocks no good for street?

    Hey All: I picked up a set of Strange Engineering adjustable front struts, and QA1 adjustable rear shocks for my '00 GT. I am being told on another forum that these struts and shocks are designed for dragstrip use, and not so much for good handling on the street. Is this true? If so, I am...

    Issues with 9004 halogen-high / xenon-low plug and play HID kit..

    I purchased a 9007 high/low (xenon low beam, halogen high beam) kit from ebay, and they sent me 9004 bulbs, which they say fit exactly the same and work the same. Is this true? Anyhow, I am having issues, as the day time running lamp circuit isn't powering the halogen high beam, and rather...

    Guys, I recently purchased a 2000 Mustang GT 5spd, and had a few questions. 1) How much oil does it need? I am reading conflicting stories about earlier models (99-00) needing 4.7L, and later models (01-04) needing 5.7L - can anyone confirm for the 2000 model? 2) How to bleed the brakes...

    bouncing speedometer needle on my 2000 GT

    I noticed the speedometer needle bouncing when I come to a stop, and going into neutral. It jumps from zero to random values. I did some searching and some have suggested that it may be a broken cluster (everything else seems to be working), and also a bad cable (that it may need to be greased)...

    Canuck Motorsport Springs for 99-04 V8 coupe?

    Is anyone here riding on the Canuck Motorsport Springs for a 99-04 V8 coupe? The price seems very tempting. I know in the maxima club, many guys have gone with CMS with no regrets, citing that they were very similar to the Eibach Prokit. I am looking for a 2" drop (something lower than Eibach)...
