    2007 GT overheats when A/C is on (even at freeway speed)

    Hey Guys, Lately it's been getting hella hot here in Cali and I noticed the other day that the temperature gauge creeped up on an especially hot day, (upper 90's). Of course I had my A/C on. Normally my car sits with the temp needle right in the middle, (let's call this 50%) at all times. If...

    Engine New Engine - Retune Necessary?

    Hey guys, Haven't posted here in a while but my 07 GT threw a rocker a week ago or so and since she had about 175,000 miles on the engine I just decided to put in a new rebuilt one from Ford. I had the Ford Racing Bullitt intake and a tune that a local shop did with the Diablo Predator. I'm...

    My rims are F'd!!!

    So I get a Maximum Motorsporst camber kit and tires put on my 07 GT today. The mechanic isn't able to align the car because of the rim savers on the tires. But I have lifetime aligment at Firestone so I take it there to get aligned. I get home and look at my rims and they look like this...

    Smoked taillights

    Hey guys, I recently bought a set of 2010 style taillights for my Stang. Looks great other than the fact that they are noticeably lighter than the stock lights. So much so that it bothers me. So I am thinking of buying a set of smoked tail lights. I think it will look great with my dark...

    Semi Burned-out Taillight?

    Hey guys, I noticed that one of the 3 brake lights on the left side goes dark when I step on the brake. It lights up fine when the headlights are on and stays lit but doesn't go bright when I use the turn signal. I tried replacing the bulb but that didn't fix the problem. Any idea what's...

    Electrical problem

    Hey guys, A couple of days ago a police officer kindly pulled me over to inform me that my rear license plate light was out. I bought a bulb and tried changing it but that didn't fix the problem. I also noticed that my side bumper lenses aren't lighting up either. Is there a fuse that...

    Squeaky shifter

    Hey dudes, Ever since I put my B&M shifter in, I've got and almost constant squeaking coming from the console. I assume it's the shifter. It's driving me nuts. Seriously it sound like I've got Parakeets fighting in the dash. Anybody know how I can get rid of the squeak? Would Dynamatting...

    Rear bumper upgrade

    All right. For almost as long as I've had my 07 Mustang, I've been wanting to replace my rear bumper with the one that comes on the Shelby and GT CA Special versions. I've wanted to make the swap for a while now, but I never had the money to do it. Well about a month ago, I was eating...

    Uh-oh

    Hey dudes, I got a free oil change from my local Ford dealer yesterday, and I just realized that the guy never asked me if I wanted synthetic or not. I have always used synthetic oil and was told a long time ago that once you put synthetic oil in an engine, you can't go back to conventional...

    I miss my baby!

    My 07 GT has been at Morgan Hill Ford since Saturday the 5th. I took it in for a "crunch" noise I had been hearing for a little while when shifting from 1st to 2nd. The weird thing is that it would only do it when it was cold, like first thing in the morning and only shifting from 1st to 2nd...

    New front brakes!!

    Hey fellow car nuts, I just upgraded the front brakes on my 07 Mustang GT to the 4-piston Brembo brakes that come on the Shelby GT500. Larger rotors and larger calipers = better stopping power. It never ceases to amaze me how many people work on making their cars go faster, (engine and...

    Best price on front brake upgrade?

    Hey guys, I've been wanting to upgrade the front brakes on my 07 GT for a while now. I was planning on going with the Shelby GT500 brake kit because I saw people selling kits online a while back for about $800. Of course I can't find anything like that online now. About the best deal I've...

    How to clean Bullitt air filter?

    Hey guys, Did a search on this and didn't really find an answer. I was all set to buy a replacement air filter for my Bullitt CAI, but the Summit website says that it is a cotton filter that is reusable. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/FMS-M-9601-B/ I called Ford Racing and was...

    What's causing this??

    I've had my 07 for about 6 months now and I love it. One of the first thing I did was swap out the stock 18" rims for some 19's, (see sig for tires). When I brought my car back to the dealership to get serviced they rotated the tires and I started getting a noticeable shake in the steering...

    Cops are out in force!!!

    Hey folks, I just wanted to give you a little head’s up. I have been pulled over by cops 3 times in the last 2 months!!! I was pulled over by Los Gatos PD for speeding, Campbell PD for tinted windows and last night by the CHP for tinted windows. I can understand being pulled over for...

    Crappy morning

    Hey dudes, I literally spent ALL DAY on Sunday detailing Natasha. I washed her around 10am. Then took a break for an hour or so and played Rock Band. Hit some spots with the clay bar. Then used Swirl-X on the hood and trunk lid. Took another break to eat lunch. Then vacuumed the...

    How happy is everyone with their CAI's?

    I just had a Bullitt CAI with a Predator tune installed today. The car only ended up picking up 10 RWHP, but the car feels a lot stronger. I was just wondering what the average HP gains people are seeing with CAI/tune combos? If you've got a CAI, share your story. How much HP did you pick...

    Goodbye Shaker 500, hello Pioneer, Sony, Fosgate system!!

    I thought that the factory stereo was actually pretty decent. But it just wasn't enough for me, nor did it have the right features. So I ended up getting a Pioneer 3100 CD/DVD deck from Amazon for $285. Pretty good price, but unfortunately, it only has 2 sets of pre-outs. Oh well. I went...

    CAI with EO number???

    Hey folks, I was looking at CAI's and I noticed that none of the ones I looked at, (C&L, JLT, Steeda), mentioned if they have a CARB E.O. number or not. Roush specifically says that theirs doesn't. I looked on the CARB website and it did list a number for Steeda, but it's part of a whole...

    Gear or tranny noise with new shifter

    Hey guys, I did a search, but didn't really find what I was looking for. Ever since I installed my B&M shifter, I'm getting quite a bit more gear and tranny noise from the console area. I assume it's just from the new shifter not having as much isolation material as the stocker. Is there...
