    Car trouble - running rough, flashing check engine light

    Hey guys, This morning, I took my car (1997 Mustang GT) to a local Precision Tune for a routine oil change and coolant flush. After they finished, I ran over to Best Buy to get an additional Wii-mote, and it was running just as well as it was before I took it in. After leaving Best Buy, I was...

    Car dies when put in park after driving

    I have a 1997 GT vert 4r70w, that has been a very reliable car thus far. However, I just replaced the stock (yes, stock) battery last week, and whether this problem is related to the new battery, I doubt, but am unsure. Whenever I go out for a drive, when I arrive at my destination, I put...

    How much for a good paint job?

    How much would a nice, complete paint job run these days? It has been years since any car that I've been around has been painted, so I have no idea at all what a good paintjob would cost. The car is a '98 Mustang coupe - would be best if all original paint stripped, since it needs some...

    Roush '98 Saleen Cobra Questions...

    Hey guys, I've still been casually looking for a Saleen, and ran across a wrecked 1998 Saleen Cobra with 33k on the clock. Damage doesn't look too bad, but it still has a salvage title. It appears the car most likely needs: - front fascia (maybe) - rear fascia - sideskirt (maybe) -...

    Any Cobra owners get their car serviced at Diamond Chevrolet in Worcester, MA?

    If so, you might want to take a look at this thread: http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?p=4740458#post4740458 Basically, one of their techs took it out and street raced with it, including a 4500 rpm clutch dump. :mad: :notnice:

    Has anyone done a 03/04 Cobra motor and tranny swap?

    Just out of curiousity...it's one thing that I would absolutely LOVE to do down the road when funds/time/etc allows for it. Since the cars have been largely unchanged from '94-04, how difficult would the swap be? The motor should fit, but would need new motor mounts and a hood and STB with...

    Any difference between 97 Cobra and GT exhaust?

    Yep, a quick and dirty question - just curious as to if there is any difference between a catback exhaust for a 97 Cobra and a 97 GT, I don't think there is, but I might be overlooking something. I've been underneath both cars and don't think there is any difference. Reason is, I'm ordering...

    Dumb convertible boot question, but need answer ASAP

    Hey guys, When I bought my vert used a couple years ago, the owner didn't have the boot that came with the car when it was new. Now I've found one off a 2000 GT vert that looks brand new and was wondering if it was one of the "good-looking" boots or the ugly ones. According to BamaGT, I...

    Will a 1996 Mustang steering wheel fit a 1997?

    I know it's probably a dumb question, but there won't be any wiring issues when installing a 1996 Mustang steering wheel onto my 1997 right? Cruise buttons look exactly the same, so I don't foresee any problems, but I just want to make sure with you guys! Thanks!

    Can I get my steering wheel recovered?

    Hey guys, My steering wheel is showing signs of age now, starting to look crappier day by day as the leather is getting worn, so I was wondering if there is any place out there that can just recover it? I'd think that would be the cheapest option for me. Option two would be to get a FR500...

    Something is wrong w/ my car...please help diagnose

    Hey guys, Well I went out this morning to leave for my 8 am class and I hop in my car and back out of my spot to leave. As soon as I pull into the road the check engine light pops on (well at least that's when I noticed it) and I hear this ticking noise coming from the back of the vehicle...

    Roush Thinking about buying a Saleen, good deal?

    I found a white 1996 Saleen S281 coupe with only 41k miles on the odo for $14995. Looks to be in pretty decent shape, normal wear for a car that age and mileage. Basically I'm just wondering if I ought to trade my 1997 GT vert for this thing...I'd really like to own a Saleen someday, and am...
