    Hey all, I've been a member on Stangnet for awhile, as I used to own a 1995 Mustang GTS. I've driven a Nissan 350z for the past few years, and Friday took delivery a new 2014 Mustang GT with the Brembo package. I'm more than happy to be back in a Mustang, and hope to stick around for quite awhile!

    No more GTS :(

    Long time no speak, guys (even though half of you may have never even seen a post by me :shrug:)! I just figured I'd post for the first time in awhile on here - I sold my 1995 Mustang GTS after about 2 years of ownership. By the end of June she'll have a 427w/TKO drivetrain, wreaking havoc at...

    Lost my job today...

    Well, I went through my shift the entire day today, finished up the work week, started cleaning up the shop when my boss came up to me and asked to talk to me for a minute. A lot of talking went down, and included me being let go, as corporate was 'cleaning up' for slow season. Guess who the...

    Possible sale of the GTS...

    Well, I'm starting to think the time is coming up to where I may get rid of my GTS. :( The car has been the same for almost a year now, and I don't want to mod it anymore than is already done. I feel like I'd be wasting money, knowing that the car doesn't see the track. I'm sick of the exhaust...

    Kumho Ecstas... Bleh!

    I went to Disney on Tuesday with my girlfriend and her family. On the way there, I picked up a bolt in my right rear tire. Went through the sidewall and out the tread area. Luckily, it didn't leave an air leak, and I actually ended up driving 90 miles home on it (while constantly pulling over to...

    Saw my first 2011 5.0 yesterday...

    Yesterday at work, I noticed a guy pulling in with a new Mustang. I shrugged it off, thinking it was a 2010, until I went out to smoke a few minutes later. I see a nice, fat 5.0 emblem on the side... :hail2: I wait for the guy to walk out of my work, and I instantly start talking. He had picked...

    Celebrating tonight, most definitely!

    Today is an amazing day. Not only am I 9 days away from my Mustang and I's one year anniversary, but today I replaced my starter - which solved a starting issue I've been battling since I FIRST purchased the car almost one year ago. A lot of you may not understand, but that starting issue was...

    'Sticky' clutch pedal...

    Recently, after having an MM clutch cable installed, my clutch has had an odd feeling at times... Usually it's after the car is cooled down, whether it be hours after driving it, or a morning after driving it. The clutch pedal literally feels almost like it's catching on something. It happens...

    Some questions to Vortech owners

    Hey guys, I'm going to be getting my car up to my wanted power level pretty soon. I've never been a 'piece by piece' kinda guy, and I want to plan everything before I buy, so I don't have to buy things twice. I have a few questions and concerns. I want to keep the shortblock stock, I'm just...

    Bypassing the clutch safety switch...

    I had an issue with my previous clutch in the car because it grabbed at the very top of the pedal, and I would still push the pedal ALL the way down. I was told this is not good on the pressure plate or the throwout bearing, as it's just overstressing the parts. With the new Mongoose clutch in...

    SVE Mongoose clutch review!

    Hey guys, I've heard a couple questions about that clutch LRS is selling, called the SVE Mongoose. I bit because of the price, and ordered one for a Christmas. Just had it put in today, and have put around 25 miles on it so far. Everythings good, it feels a good amount grabbier than the FMS HD...

    How to tell if a woman is right for you...

    I've been with my lady friend for over a year now, and things have been amazing with her. Today, however, I felt a sense of absolute emotion that may have brought me to tears had I let myself fall into it! To begin, she surprised me at work by bringing me lunch, which was a plus in and of...

    Hate to say it but...

    It looks like I may be turning over to the dark side in the next few months or so. :notnice: After the holidays are over, my girlfriend and I will both be moving out, and my car just hasn't been working out my way at all. It isn't heavily modded whatsoever, and isn't driven hard often at all...

    Throwout bearing failures - is there a reason?

    Hey, I've been having more issues with throwout bearings than I could count on one hand (not even joking). The one in there now was installed, by a local shop, about 2 months ago with a new clutch cable/quad/fwa setup. Well... About a week ago, I began to notice a VERY quiet chirping noise...

    Help with foglight wiring please!

    Hey guys, I found a hell of a deal on a set of foglights (everything included minus the switch) for $15 from a local guy. I'm picking them up after I get off work, and wanted to know how I should wire them. I'd like them to be used as both DTRL and with my headlights all the way on. My car is a...

    Belt shredding - causes??

    I'm not going to sugarcoat this, tonight I was a moron. I normally baby my car like crazy, until I hit the dragstrip. No burnouts, no peeling out from light to light, no swinging it around corners, no high rev's, nothing. Tonight, my girlfriend and I were on our way to dinner with some friends...

    Track time questions

    No, this isn't exactly a 'what will I run' thread, I'm just wondering how much I have left in my track times. Went to the local strip Saturday night, and it is an 1/8 mile. I knocked off four 9.6 passes, and I'm really disappointed. Mods are in my sig, and the car's only got 92k on it, oil...

    Worried sick about new TOB...

    So my Mustang has a new TOB in there from about a month or 2 ago, and my clutch cable's been acting up and needs replacing. It won't adjust (stock quadrant/seemingly stock cable), and the pedal grabs literally right when my foot begins to lift off of it. Can this cause TOB damage? Or any other...

    Vortech owners, come on it!

    So, once I get my car to a reliable DD status, I plan on buying my mom's 05 v6 coupe from her since she's buying a Challenger. After I have another car to drive, I want to make some big-boy power. :rlaugh: I'm looking into a Vortech v3 kit, and was wondering how the sound is both at idle and...
