    2000 Mustang Gt Brakes..

    How are the slide pins on the brake brackets? They are notorious for getting stuck. I've made it part of my maintenance routine to check them when I'm pulling the car out of storage.

    Brakes Hanging

    I have a 03’ GT vert 5spd and I have a problem with the brakes. I’ve had the car since 05’ and brakes have been problematic. In 07’ I was able to get another car so I could store the Stang for the winter. The car sees maybe 3K – 4k miles a year. Part of my process for pulling the car out for...

    Should I trade my 97 GT for this 99 GT?

    I'd say stick with the 97'. You have something nice there and as someone else mentioned clean SN-95's are harder to find. I don't think there's anything wrong with a yellow Stang either.

    Tax Time Thread... What are you doing?

    I had hoped to put the money towards trick flow heads and some good cams but I'm closing on a condo on Friday. If I'm lucky I'll have enough to buy a new couch.

    Any pics of yellow Stangs?

    Nice rides everyone! That R hood looks good on a yellow Stang Nightfire. I'm moving a lot of my pics to an external drive at the moment and I found a few from when I first bought it. On the lot: My car with some folks from NEBOC (my previous ride was the green 7-Up Fox in the...

    Any pics of yellow Stangs?

    I'm liking those rims too 4point6. Are you currently wingless Tim2002? In one pic you have it, in the other you don't. Your Grand-dad has one sweet looking Mach.

    at last my Dyno Numbers for trick flow heads

    It seems to me that he made a motor more efficient. If he were to add boost now he'd put down even better numbers because of the foundation he's laid down. We can all argue about the ecconomy of it but in the end speed is money. If you want to go faster it's going to cost you more.

    Why I'm a convertible owner:

    I bought my first vert 16 years ago, a 1973 Mustang with a 351 Cleveland. I sold that and bought a 90' 7-Up vert. That was my DD for 10 years until I sold it to my friend and bought my 03' vert. Once you go vert you don't ever want to go back. (Oh yeah, my friend I sold my 90' to is...

    Fuel pump, CCRM, Bad Gas, or ?

    I filled it with Sunnoco 93 before storage. The car is about an hour away so put in the Stabol before I left to be sure it circulated. I had heard that with the ethanol in gas these days water retention can be a problem. I suppose I could run a siphon down to the bottom of the tank and...

    Fuel pump, CCRM, Bad Gas, or ?

    My 03’ GT has been in storage since last Nov. I was set to take my car out of storage but it wouldn’t start. The car will crank but it won’t fire up. I didn’t think I could hear the fuel pump prime but it was hard to hear over the CD player going through all the CD spots. This was about a...

    How much money have you put down on your stang?

    After shopping in the Maximum Motorsports catalog with a little from JLT and MGW I'm into the car for $4,107 since I bought it in 05'. I'm looking at another $2K-$3K this Spring with a Bassani exhaust and MM K-Member and tubular control arms. I keep it all in a spreadsheet.

    MM Coil over kit question

    I have MM coil overs all around. One thing I've noticed is if I turn the wheel lock to lock the spring will unload (you get a nice "spriong" kind of sound). Does anyone else have this problem? Should I be raising the perches to eliminate the unloading?

    Ball joint?

    I have a mostly Maximum Motorsports suspension (CC plates, 4 wheel coil overs, panhard bar, lower control arms) and I'm getting a sound like something is loose in the front end at low speeds. I had a mechanic look at it and he said one of my calipers was dragging. I them fix that and no dice...

    Driving a Stang in the snow

    I think if you drive conservatively (I know it's tough), you can handle moderate snow. I would definetly say that my 03' handles the snow worlds better than my old 90' Fox vert even with 295's in the back. I don't know how many times I got stuck in the driveway going 50 and standing still...

    Panhard Bar install

    Does anyone know of a good shop in Mass (preferably SE Mass) or RI that would do an install of a MM panhard bar on an 03 GT vert.? Thanks

    Max. Motorsports Coil over Question

    I have an 03' GT vert and I will be running 18 x 10 deep dish Bullitts with 295/35/18's in back. I'm looking to do some suspension mods too particularly a MM coil-over set up. Does anyone know of any fitment issues with deep dish Bullitts or that size tire, with a MM coil over kit? I...

    Vert owners: Rear defrost problem

    I have an 03 convertible and I have a problem with the rear defrost. The electric lead that connects to the window glass keeps coming off. I've had it fixed before but it invaribly comes off again. I'd like to fix this once and for all. What's the best way to re-attach the lead? Does it...

    Factory Five Replica

    If you are ever in Mass. you should go for the tour. My brother and I went on it about a year ago. I couldn't convince him to stuff a pair of Bilstein shocks down his pants though (kidding). The folks that took us on the tour were all car guys. Most of them had Stangs so you could really...
