    Where To Buy Rear Carpet Floor Mats For A 2015?

    I just purchased my 2015 last Friday, and even though the car is covered in about 9 inches of snow right now, I'm on the hunt for black carpet floor mats for the rear floor boards. Google has only shown me complete 4-piece sets through Ford or from Lloyd, but I haven't been able to track down...

    Recommended tire air pressure for 275/40/17's & 315/35/17's?

    I just installed new deep-dish bullitt rims on my car about a week ago, and want to maximize the treadwear on the tires (they are factory rated @ 160 for treadwear...typical for a summer tire). I'm running a common staggered set-up, with 17x9's in the front, and 17x10.5's on the back (obviously...

    17x10.5" or 18x10" deep-dish bullitt pics on '96-'98?

    I can't decide between the 17" or 18" version of these rims for my '98 Atlantic Blue GT. I don't have PhotoShop, so I am hoping that you guys have some pics of your '96-'98 rides with deep-dish bullitts (especially if your stang is blue!). If so, please list your rim sizes front/back & tire...

    When to replace the rear axle stabilizer shocks (quad shocks)?

    What is the best way to tell when these are shot? The Bullitt suspension set-up has been on my car for around 3yrs., but the quad shocks are the stockers (74K miles on the car). Thanks!

    What rwhp/rwtq gains to expect with these mods?

    In addition to my current mods, what rwhp/rwtq totals might I expect with the following: Livernois PI intake kit (http://www.livernoismotorsports.com/product.phtml?p=457) VT Stage 1 cams with stock non-PI heads (just in case I ever want to supercharge, the car will still have the lower...

    "Whirring" noise coming from passenger's side?

    I installed Eibach 25mm (1") hubcentric wheel spacers on my '98GT a couple of months ago, and have been experiencing a nasty whirring/howling type noise coming from the rear passenger's side of the car only when making sharp left or right turns. This noise is only apparent after a long drive...

    '01GT donating P.I. heads/cams to a '98GT. Have a few questions!

    A friend of mine just had her '01 GT (with ~42K miles) declared as "totalled," simply because it rolled down a 75' embankment and bounced off a few things. :p She has offered to donate any working parts to my '98GT. I immediately thought "woo-hoo...free P.I. heads & cams!" I was also...

    Need new rear brake calipers...suggestions?

    The rear passenger-side caliper is apparently sticking on my '98GT, because the pad has worn at nearly twice the rate as the driver's side pad. The brake pads are original at 71K miles, and the rear driver's side pad still has nearly 1/2 remaining. The passenger's side pad is completely worn...

    Tachometer is sticking!

    The stock tach on my '98GT has been "sticking" for the past year, and it's just about to drive me crazy! When I first start the car, the tach revs up as normal, but will then either stick at around 2K rpm's or flatline. While I'm driving, the tach sticks at random points between flatline and...

    Anybody use the 1" wheel spacers from 50resto.com?

    The price they have listed is far better than anything I can find on Eibach Pro Spacers or H&R/Maximum Motorsports, so I was just wondering about the quality & fitment of the 50resto spacers. They will be mounted with the stock 10-spoke 17"x8" rims on my '98GT. Thanks!

    Wheel Spacers (hubcentric) with the stock 17"x8" rims?

    Just wondering if these are safe/effective ways to "flush" the appearance of the tires in relation to the fenders on a SN95 car. I am running the stock size tire (245/45/ZR17) on the stock rims (17"x8"), and the car has been lowered with Bullitt springs. I did a search on wheel spacers, but am...

    Cutting springs to lower the car?

    My '98 GT has been lowered with the Bullitt springs (Tokico shocks & struts) for a couple of years now, but I have always wanted the front to sit lower than the rear. Anybody that has done this conversion on SN95's will know that the car appears to sit level, but the fender well gap is much less...

    Need help! Driver's side door is "hanging low."

    The driver's side door on my '98 GT is "hanging low" (best way I can describe it). I recently had some body work done, and they swear that they didn't mess with the door, but the door lines don't flow with the rest of the driver's side. It seems to be hanging lower towards the handle-end of the...

    How would a timing adjuster affect air/fuel?

    I'm probably going to order a Steeda timing adjuster and pulleys very soon, but am a bit concerned about the air/fuel mix after advancing the timing. I'm planning to try between 13-15 degrees of timing (this seems to be the norm before detonation for N/A GT's), but don't want the car to be...

    How to tell if the GT has traction control?

    I'm fairly certain that '98 was the last year for "optional" traction control on the GT's, so is there an easy way to determine if your car has it? Is there something in the VIN or on the rear axle? Thanks in advance! :flag:

    '98 & '99 GT owners, when was your car built?

    I'm trying to determine the specific date that Ford ceased production of the '98's, and began building the '99's. I'm fairly certain that it was sometime in October '98, but haven't been able to pinpoint the day. Rumor is that Ford built some of the late '98's with P.I. heads, but nobody can...

    Tach gauge "sticking."

    The tach gauge on my '98GT seems to be "sticking." It works properly above 2K rpms, but below that, it bounces around at random intervals. For example, if traveling at 1500rpms, the tach needle will stick at 15, then jump to 17 and back to 1K. Other times, it will completely flat line. :mad...

    Help! "Chattering" coming from passenger's side of engine.

    Over the past week, I've noticed a substantial "chattering" sound emanating from the passenger's side of the engine. By listening closely, it almost sounds like it originates from under the valve cover. I thought maybe it was detonation, but it is even present at idle (I've always noticed...
