    2002 Premium GT - Zinc Yellow - 74.5k

    For sale is one 2002 Mustang GT Premium. It's Zinc yellow with mods listed in my signature. I hate to sell her but between unexpected medical bills and other expenses have put me in a bit of a jam. She rides like a dream. You'd think she's on rails. I have dyno sheets and a carfax...

    Really stupid question...

    Simple question. Do you think the red 10th anniversary cobra brake's look lame against zinc yellow? I like the red off the car, but maybe I should go with the normal black ones.

    Removing spray-paint.

    The previous owner of my car had some interior parts "chromed" zinc yellow. The dealer had painted over it with really crappy spray paint and it's starting to chip off. I tried polishing it with some high-grit polish but it didn't do anything. I was wondering if it'd be safe to use paint...

    Wheel Polishing(are they shot?)

    I have 17" polished cobra replicas on my '02. I had to drive the car ONCE during the winter(don't ask why...) promptly washed it at the carwash up the road before I recovered her. However some salt stuck to the wheels. Now I have this brake dusty/crusty crap ALL over my wheels. I spent 3 hours...

    Car won't stay lit

    I just did an oil change on the GT today and re-oiled the air filter. I put everything back together and now it'll crank over run for a half second and then die. If you keep pumping the throttle it'll kick up to 3500-4500 like normal so I'm not quite sure what it is... It's not throwing a code...

    Hood prop delete

    I tried doing a search but I couldn't find it. Didn't someone make a kit that allowed you to use gas charged struts instead of the prop rod to hold up the hood?

    Exhaust leak maybe?

    At about 1700RPM, and only on slight accelleration, my car has either a click or a hiss. It sounds like a combination of valve chatter and a vacuum leak. It goes away the more you hit the gas. If you punch it you can't hear it at all. But on those 4th gear 35-45mph slow accels you can really...

    Stumped

    I have a phantom front-side oil leak. the whole front just seems to be wet, which leads me to believe it's being slung from a gear or something. I have replaced the valve cover gasket, the cam seal, crank seal, aux seal, and the front plate gasket and it's still leaking. I'm going through...

    hmmm wtf

    Whenever I start the mustang after rain showers when it's like 60* outside it runs and idles fine but when I get up into the boost it misfires. My plugs and wires are less-than-a-month-old motorcrafts. I have also swapped out the TFI, cap, and the coil. I have also replaced the Coolant Temp...
