    A very honest guy backed into my parked 5.0 with his large truck. Then he came into the restaurant where I was enjoying breakfast and found me. Bingo Bango, his insurance company promptly wrote me a nice check. I ended up going with the Cervini's Cobra R hood. Hood is well made, fit...

    The Mustang Wave?

    Tach Dead

    Boy searching for the words tach or tachometer gives one way way too many options. Sorry if someone has posted this previously, but I couldn't find it. The last few days my tach has been dead. Nothing, nada, zip, zero, goose egg... So I'm wondering if others are experiencing this or I'm...

    can't believe I'm selling my 66 fastback

    Long time posters will remember me pretty well, though I've been more active on 2005 boards for the last couple of years. After letting my 66 fastback "shelby clone" sit for about 2 years I'm finally looking for a new home for her. I just drive my 05 all of the time. She's a very nice...

    Please review Ford Racing Handling Package

    Since some even very careful posters have been grenading their 05's (and I know there are many who are running safely) I've decided against making my car an ultra high hp beast (NO BLOWER). I'm just looking at around 300 n/a rwhp and outstanding handling. I'm considering the ford racing...

    Looking 4 CARB legal Exhaust upgrades w/hp

    I see that a lot of you have received some pretty decent HP increases with complete exhuast systems. The question is are there any CA SMOG LEGAL systems that are actually beneficial beyond nice sound. I have slp loudmouth axel back and I'm aware it's all about a little sound. Is someone...

    Need Help ASAP PRETTY PLEASE

    yesterday I hit a 90 degree corner at a pretty high rate of speed. Then engine light came on. I was 2 blocks from home so home I went. I have checked the oil. Re-tightened the gas cap. And now used my predator (first time for me) to check for error codes. It says none. When...

    how much are 4:10s worth in the quarter?

    So how much time should you pick up switching to 4:10s with a stick???? I was guessing 2/10ths of a second. For those of you who have made the change, what do you think. Further with the following mods, 4:10's Cat Back CAI And a Tune at GRC What should I expect RWHP and 1/4...

    Anyone blow up an 05 with boost or Juice?

    The title says it all. I have heard several people express hesitation (due to the rings) about putting any form of unnatural aspiration on these. There have got to be a hundred or so boosted 05's running around. Many putting down overf 450 rwhp. Any Kaboooooms so far? Who is running...

    Salesman is ticking me off

    So I went down right after the Shelby was unveiled at the NY auto show and asked a salesman, if I could give him a check for a grand and get on the LIST. He has no idea how to do this and the salesmanager isn't in that day. I wait a few days, go down find the same salesman and offer up my...

    Killed Porsche Carerra Tonight

    So I'm driving home on a pretty busy little street tonight. Beautiful New (no tags yet) 911 keeps pulling up beside me. I give him the thumbs up for his smokin ride. He looks over, repeatedly but never gives me so much as a smile and wave. After about 3 miles, I have to turn right, so...

    Problem with t5 clutch cable and tri y's

    As mentioned in another thread I wrote about finally getting my g-force t5. It's running great, but the guys at Mike Reed's Aamco (in Bakersfield) have warned me that my tri y headers are running way too close to my clutch cable. Anyone know a good quick cheap fix for this delima or do I...
