    Noise in driveline somewhere

    I know - it sounded stupid putting it there, but I spelt it the way it sounded to me, and I went and Googled wumph-wumph and sure enough, I'm not the only one. Some fellows did solve it with wheel bearings, one fellow solved it by re-torquing wheel nuts, and another suggestion was pinion...

    Noise in driveline somewhere

    As far as I know. I've been meaning to call the fellow I bought it from to confirm.

    Noise in driveline somewhere

    I'm getting a noise in my driveline, like a wumph-wumph-wumph ( kinda like the word sounds ) at a second or less intervals when the car is moving at slow speeds ( maybe 10 to 20 mph ). It seems to be in the rotation of the drivetrain, as it'll vary with speed, possibly in the driveshaft, rear...

    What to look for in an 05+ GT Convertible?

    Miles are up there a little, but as you said, that's not a concern for you. If you're going to keep it stock, then the price isn't too bad. If you're planning on doing some updates, you'd be better off looking for one with them done - you'll only pay pennies on the dollar as the mods provide...

    What to look for in an 05+ GT Convertible?

    As was said, I think you're talking "coupe" money. I'm in Toronto, and searched for about 2 months in all the forums, all the online sites I could find such as AutoTrader, and just couldn't find anything near what I wanted under 20. ( both sides of the border ) Ended up finding what I...

    Predator or Hypertech PP3

    Been to the website. I need a serial to USB cable to get the tune to the tuner. I reset the tune with the Hypertech to account for the C&L CAI, but when I get the update in the Predator, I'll remove the Hypertech tune and put in a Predator one.

    Predator or Hypertech PP3

    It seems the car was programmed with the Hypertech. I was able to reset to stock with the Hypertech; it didn't recognize the Predator before or after the reset to stock. Doesn't seem like it stored the old tune though, so screwed on sticking it back in. Went through re-programming it with the...

    Predator or Hypertech PP3

    I'm running a C&L CAI. How do I tell, which, if either, tuner is locked to the car now?? By "locked" I assume that if you use the tuner on one car that there's some software in the tuner that prevents you from using it on another vehicle?? Would there be a tune on the Predator that I could use...

    Predator or Hypertech PP3

    With the 06 GT Vert I just bought came two programmers - a Diablosport Predator and a Hypertech Power Programer III. What the difference in these? Scrolling through the threads I am getting the impression that these are old technology?, but I assume these are still useable? What the best of...

    Looking to buy 06 /07 GT conv. have ??s

    Thanks for your comments. I picked up this 06 here in Toronto for less than they're selling for in the US - the owner ( or his wife ) wanted out of it. 21,000km ( 12,000 miles ), May to Sept use only, 20" chrome Bulletts, billet grilles ( not sure on those yet ), shorty antenna, cold air...

    Florida or Arizona - best place to look for a Stang

    Thanks. Basically a stock Mustang is not a big difference in price between Toronto and pricing I'm finding in the US. But there are a lot of deals in the US that you can end up with 10 or 12 thousand in upgrades that really doesn't jack the price up much. So I want to look somewhere where I...

    Florida or Arizona - best place to look for a Stang

    I'm looking to buy an 06 to 08 GT vert. Where do you fellows go to look for a used car in Florida, Arizona, NC, SC, etc.? Up here in Toronto we have online listings such as autotrader.ca and Kijiji.ca ( in the US it's called Ebay classified ) and we can go into a convenience store and buy a...

    question on blown S197s

    Here's one I ran across. Any comments on this setup - 06 vert. Mods: Vortech V2-SQ HO Blower 3.4" Pulley 460/401 on a mildly aggressive tune and 445/390 on a tune with 2* less timing. Relocated IAT sensor to after the blower/aftercooler Tuned by Realspeed and all mods installed there as...

    question on blown S197s

    Yeah, I'd certainly like to get one with a blower, and as you've said not pushing the hp too high should help to keep it reliable. I'm finding you pay very little extra for one blown with the typical suspension, wheel upgrades but so far I'm finding all coupes and I'd really like to get a vert...

    Looking to buy 06 /07 GT conv. have ??s

    How big an issue are the spark plugs? I've considered the 08 as the price is not that much different.

    question on blown S197s

    I'm looking to buy an 06 to 08 GT vert. I've seen a number of coupes and verts for sale with blowers at what seems to be very, very good pricing. 1. Can these cars be used as a weekend driver without constantly wrenching 'em? I wouldn't mind the extra power, as I'm kinda underwhelmed by the...

    WTB 06 - 08 conv. Online sources

    I'm looking to buy an 06 - 08 GT convertible. What's the best online listings for the southeast?? I've checked the forums here and came across classyauto.com, but is there a bigger and better place ( as in more listings ) to search? Thanks

    Looking to buy 06 /07 GT conv. have ??s

    Thanks, appreciate it. That does give it the more aggressive look that I have in mind, and it's got to a whole lot cheaper than replacing most or all of the nose. That hood scoop certainly helps too. Again, any reason to go to an 07 over an 06. Actually right now, with the pricing I'm...
