    Traffic Ticket advice

    Hey guys, I was hoping you all could give me some advice for a traffic ticket I got. Here was the scenario: I stopped off at my friend's house to drop something off. He lives on a quiet street that branches off a main road. I don't normally drive there, as he only lives a couple blocks from me...

    Car Washing

    Hey guys - I've got a question for all of you on washing your cars. I live in a townhouse more or less in DC. It has a shared underground garage, so there's no driveway for me to wash my car. The outdoor spigot would make me cross the hose over sidewalk with tons of foot traffic (tripping...

    Tire Pressure Sensor

    As I was driving to the airport this morning, I got a low tire pressure warning. Of course I never put my pressure gauge in my car, so I couldn't check it at the airport, and I won't see the car again til Friday. Assuming the tire(s) still have air by Friday morning, is there a way to get the...

    The heat is killer!

    We had an entire weekend of 100+ degree heat in the DC area this weekend (and today), and it was absolutely killer. Beyond the generally crappy-ness of the heat, it was KILLING my gas mileage. I typically can get 15-18 mpg in the city driving reasonable. I couldn't even pull 12 mpg babying the...

    Pics of Alloy Metallic with Flat Black accents

    So I've decided to pull the trigger and get the CDC Shaker system. I'm not debating whether or not I want to get a graphics package similar to the 1970 Boss mustangs. I found one thay says BOSS 281, which is probably what I'd want, but I'm not sure how flat black would look on an Alloy Metallic...

    CDC Shaker Hood

    So I have the opportunity to get the CDC Shaker hood system for a shade over $1100 installed. Does anyone have any thoughts, opinions, or want to point out any (not obvious) implication to getting the shaker? To hedge this before it starts, this is not something I would ever install myself...

    Push-button start from Ninosport

    Does anyone have any experience with the push button start that Ninosport sells? http://www.ninosport.com/Push-Button-Ignition-Kit-IGN2001?sc=2&category=54 It looks interesting, but it says wiring harness not included, but I can't find a link for any harnesses on their site. Any idea what is...

    Thinking about some modifications...

    So I'm continuing to debate on continuing saving my money for a new car (maybe a corvette) late this summer or early next spring or modify the Mustang. I'm looking for some thoughts on the following... 1. I've thought about the RoushCharger. Now that I've seen the Saleen ShakerCharger, I'm...

    Car has to go back to the dealer

    Well I have to take my car to the dealer finally. After owning Mustangs for over 7 years, this will be the first time it has to see the shop for mechanical repair. I noticed a few months ago a little bit of oil on the valve covers, but I couldn't find any visible leaks or anything like that, so...

    DC Cherry Blossom pics with my car

    I drove out to the Washington DC Cherry Blossom festival, and I was able to snap a few pictures of my car with the Cherry Blossoms. I didn't get anything too fantastic, but thats ok. There would a couple locations that would've been awesome backdrops, but of course, there were port-o-pottys...

    Colors for my brake calipers, and pictures of your painted ones!

    Hey guys, I am probably going to paint my brake calipers over the next few weekends. I'm trying to decide what color I want to go with. My car is Alloy, so I'm thinking either red or yellow, or possibly even a bright-ish blue. Any thoughts or alternate color suggestions? I found this one...

    How does Roushcharger warranty work?

    The title is pretty self explanatory - I'm considering a RoushCharger this summer and I want to know how exactly the warranty deal works. Who do I have to bring my car to if there is a problem? A Roush dealer or any Ford dealer? Is there anything that will no longer be warrantied? 445 HP and...

    Hood "flapping" in the wind...

    Does anyone else's hood sorta shake or flap when you are driving at highway speeds? Mine seems to want to fly open at highway speeds.

    Long Tube Headers and Emissions

    What is the deal with long tube headers and passing emissions? I'm contemplating doing headers and a crossover, but I have to stay emissions legal. On SLP's site, they specifically say not 50-state emissions legal, but I don't see that on al pages for other companies' LT's. Bassani is one...

    Heated seats

    For those of you who have heated seats, do they stay on for more than about 5 minutes at a time? Mine turn themselves off, which is rather annoying when I am trying to enjoy the car with the windows down while its cool out.

    So the SLP Loudmouths are on my car! Big thanks to Casey4s for his help with the install (and by help, I mean doing it for me :nice: ), and thanks to everyone on here for the advice and opinions. The car sounds amazing! I don't have any complaints about it at all, except that I can't listen to...

    Tools for exhaust install

    As my previous post stated... I ordered SLP Loudmouths the other day. Despite building a small scale race car in college for the Formula SAE competition, this will actually be my first install on a real car. I also own no tools beyond screwdrivers, hammers, pliers, and one of those crappy...

    Just ordered exhaust!!

    Well, as always, I didn't intend on doing anything so soon. Butttttt I just placed an order with LMPerformance for the SLP Loudmouths! I told myself I'd wait to hear what they sound like in person before buying anything. I was on the website, and it was on sale for 319 shipped, so I couldn't...
