    My Route 66 Road Trip

    So I guess this might be interesting for some of you guys to read, so I thought I'd post it. I've always wanted to see Route 66...since I was in high school, anyway. That was a long time ago. I got my 2007 Mustang GT and thought, "Gee, wouldn't it be a great story...'Man turns 40 and drives...

    Clunky Clunk Clunk...suspension?

    So I have a 2011 Mustang GT. 6-speed manual, Brembo, super deluxe...blah blah. I've noticed that while pulling into my car port, very slowly, foot on clutch...sometimes in 1st or neutral, as I turn right...there's some mild "clunking" sounds in the rear end. The parking lot surface is...

    '11 Hood Corrosion

    I posted in a thread about the paint bubble problems under the hood/trunk of my 2007 GT. I traded that car in for a 2011. Well, the problem appears to be back...on my 2011 GT. I have 18k miles...it's 1.5 years old. Sweet.

    Gopro Video Test

    I bought a GoPro video camera for my road trip this summer (driving to CA from Detroit on Route 66). Thought I would do some testing of the camera with some external microphones for sound capture. It's a little long...gets cooler at around 2:45. Let me know what you think!

    When Old Tires Go To Heaven

    This is my old 2007 GT. I thought I'd send the original tires off with a little ceremony. :flag:

    Brembo Brake Squeal

    I have an '11 GT with the Brembo package...10K miles. I notice some rather loud squealing under light braking when driving around time. Pretty much all the time, except when the car was new. If they are squealing and I stab the brakes harder, it goes away. I've driven cars with Hawk HP+ pads...

    Changing Tunes - Question

    Ok....I lied. Two questions. 1. I have a 93 Race tune installed now. Do I need to go back to stock before I can change to another tune, or go right to the other tune? 2. Does the SCT SF3 hold 3 custom tunes AND some additional SCT tunes? Or just 3 tunes + stock tune? Ok....that's really...

    '04 Cobra wheel options

    My friend has a 2004 Cobra and he wants to get some wider wheels. I did a search in the FAQ and didn't really see what I was looking for. Can anyone chime in and just give me the best specs/sizes? I'm thinking 275 in the front is the widest, and something like a 305+ would be nice. Any...

    Roush axle-backs installed

    I just went over to Roush today and had them install their axle-backs. :drool: While I was there I took a look at a Blackjack, along with a 2012 RS3 (Roush Stage 3) Mustang. Awesome. I asked one of the engineers if the mufflers for the 5.0 sound better than the one's I had for the 4.6. He got...

    Rear axle purge valve leak

    So I took my car in for it's first oil change yesterday (4,700 miles). The car was up in the air and I was looking around, when I noticed the rear axle was wet on the driver's side of the diff. Apparently, on the 2010-11 cars, there is a little spring-loaded valve on the top of the axle to...

    2011 HID Color Question

    I have the HIDs on my 2011 GT. Love them. Sometimes when I turn them on after the car has been sitting, the color starts out kinda yellow, then cools off to white-ish blue. This takes about 2 seconds. Has anyone else noticed this? Do HIDs go yellow-ish if they are about to fail...

    Oil life is short?!

    My '11 GT has 3399 or so miles on it...2 months old or so. I hit the "info" button the other day and noticed it said that my oil life was at 41%. If the car has an oil change interval of 10K miles...and I have 3,000 or so miles on the car, why would my oil life be so low? I'm in Michigan...

    Getting rid of the OEM tires

    This is probably the most proper send off for my original 2007 Pirellis. I wasn't planning on it, but ended up getting a 2011 GT a few weeks later. Video post is in the works. Stay tuned.

    SYNC and USB thumb drives

    Hey, So I have an '11 GT with SYNC, and I have a question about the USB port in the armrest for playing music. I bought a standard PC/Mac USB thumb drive...8GB...and loaded about 700 songs from my iTunes onto it. I did a straight copy, so some are MP3s, some are AACs...whatever. When I...

    Cold start noise

    I have a 2007 Mustang GT. And the past couple weeks in the Motor City, it's been under 30 degrees...and as low as 10 (for a high!). On occasion, when starting my car, I hear this noise.... It's not the usual starter noise, which seems to be on the passenger side of the car, but a weird...

    Corrosion. Keep it or sell it?

    Ok... So I've noticed some small paint bubbles on the bottom of the driver's side door. I checked my hood, and I have some bubbles underneath that, as well. I talked to the dealer today and he said it would be about $400 to fix the hood and maybe $75 per door/trunk if needed. He said it's...

    Keep it, or trade it in?

    I was at my dealer tonight, just tickling the idea of trading in my 2007 GT. I have 2 years left on my loan before it's paid in full. I have 55K miles on the clock. The car is clean. They offered me $15.5K on my car to get a new 2011. The price for a new 2011 5.0 manual, 3.73, premium 401...
