    new wheels, do I need new lugs?

    am buying some Black Deep Dish Bullitts, probably from AM, maybe another place if I can find a good deal. Just wondering if I'll need new lug nuts. I have the stock 18" Pollished Bullitts that came with the car (the same ones that are on the shelby GT)

    Deals on Black Bullitts, also where do I get taller rear tires?

    Driving in the snow caused me to spin and hit the curb, both sides of the road. Good news is, insurance is going to buy me 4 new wheels and tires. But I need them fast as the car is not drivable now, and its a pain. Question: Anyone know where I can get a good deal on black bullitts...

    Thinking about lengthening my steering shaft

    Hmmm, there is joke in that title somewhere... Anyhow. I am hugely tall, and have to drive my mustang with the seat way back. But I have sort of shortish arms for my height, so I cant reach the wheel that well when I am set-up for good headroom and footroom. I could really use a...

    Do-it-u-self Tuning?

    Curious. What would I need to tune my engine myself? Instead of buying an email tune from a tuner, or visiting a dynoshop for a custom tune, Can I buy some software and hook up my laptop to the car and do it myself? If so, what software would I need, and where can I get it?

    How bad is it to hit the rev. limiter?

    I have hit the limiter a few times, and it feels horrible. Afterwards I have this nagging feeling that I broke something. My is set relatively low, 6500, and I hear I can bring it to 6700 no problem. And, if you go to the track, sometimes you see 4 bangers hitting the limiter at the line...

    mild turbo to overcome altitude

    here is my situation: I bought the Mustang GT V8 because I wanted a V8 power and sound. Fun times. I did a ton of research, and the Mustang GT is the car for me. I bought it, then took it up to my local track and pulled a 14.8. That is because my local track is at 5800ft. I did not know...

    Photoshop fun

    thinking about grills... Blacked out pony: Bullitt: Center Fogs: But this is what prompted me to post. I call it the Jackistan Grille. Probably, you could only run this grill if you had like 600 horsepower. Otherwise its just too badass for you. :p

    What kind of market is there for the stock 18" polished bullitt wheels?

    I would like new rims, but cant really justify the cost. I noticed, while shopping around, that my stock 18" polished bullitt rims were selling, new, for 250. SVT Bullitt 18 Chrome Plated Can I reasonably expect to sell these rims? Mine arent new, so I would not expect 250. But if I...

    Air Ride Suspension

    Check out this vid. Now, I know some of you will claim this is too "hoopdi", but I have heard good things about the performance of the air ride suspension. Think about it, you can custom tune the spring rate to fit any condition, on the fly. Combined with some sort of electronic...

    Radar Detectors Are Now Worthless

    Got a speeding ticket the other day. 98 in a 75. First off, I was not going 98. I know I was speeding, but I was keeping it around 85. I hit the brakes as soon as the detector went off, so I know I was decelerating while the cop was getting his reading. I think, either my speedo is off...

    Wednesday Night Test and Tune

    Here is a vid from a recent Test and Tune night up here in Denver. I ran a 14.8 @ 95 w/ Density Altitude 7153 feet, converts to 13.5 @ 105 at sea level. I think the stock 3.31 axle is killing me.

    Induction Sound Tube

    Anyone have any details on this? I am curious about putting one in my 07, and am wondering where/how it enters the cabin. Also, curious why the sound coming from the intake is the place to get it, I would think, you would want the sound coming from the exhaust...

    Do I have keyless entry?

    I bought my car used, and the dealer handed me the key without the keyless entry remote. I asked for the remote, and he said it did not have keyless entry. I was surprised to hear this, as everything else is upgraded. It has the interior upgrade package with the heated seats, leather, bonus...

    Bored, pic

    hey all, I am sitting here with not much (actually I think zero) work in my inbox. I am a self employed photographer, so no work = no money. This has resulted in a halt to the modding process, I can do nothing but appreciate the stang in its current state. (Business has been slow this year...

    Do people yield you the left lane?

    I have noticed, since I got the stang, people will get out of my way on the highway. I think, just like in the movie Bullitt, a mustang in your rearview tends to get noticed. It is great. I used to think people did not use their rearview mirrors, as I would often pull up on folks going too...

    Do 4.10s make 1st gear useless?

    Thinking about 4.10s. But I already feel that I am shifting out of first very soon with the 3.55s. It seems like with 4.10s, first gear would be there only if you wanted to smoke your tires. Funny thing is, when I was researching the mustang, I was upset to see they only came with 5 speeds...
