    Problem: Car Shifts Out Of O/d When I Take Foot Off Gas

    The car: Lightly modified 2001 Mustang GT with A/T (mineral gray) -- Mods: intake, catback, alum driveshaft, pulleys, and suspension stuff (plus interior/exterior cosmetic stuff) The precursor: I just had a problem where my front passenger-side strut became unattached at the base. This was...

    Poll: What color brake calipers?

    If we are talking Cobra calipers, then red. I am not a big fan of the blue. If we are talking OEM calipers then black. It just does not look good to call attention to them ... kinda like when ricers paint little baby-size Honda calipers red or yellow. It is not as bad as that, but heading...

    Kaenan Redneck hood FTW!

    I think it looks good ... but (as others said) I would just hope there is something underneath it requiring the extra room.

    All-Season Tires

    I recently put on Falken Ziex ZE-512's. They ended up being very reasonably priced (I think $90 or $95 each). I am real happy with them so far.

    Can you hear the golf clapping from here in Pittsburgh? Well played.

    Leather Steering Wheel Fix

    I have an OEM charcoal one in good condition (just the wheel; no airbag, no cover for the airbag). If interested, PM with an offer for it.

    machined and brushed satin?

    machined = polished shiny satin = not shiny

    A little frustrated...

    I do not specifically know about '98, but around that time Ford was VERY simple when it came to Mustangs. For my 2001 Mustang GT, there were only two available options: 1) leather 2) Mach 460 stereo which is a very good stereo if you only listen to CDs and/or standard radio. I livebt my...

    Pics of the new stereo

    Very nice! I also put in an Alpine iPod stereo with a cable to the center console a few years ago (well before the iPhone -- see sig). The Mach 460 was actually a great stock stereo, but there is no comparison with having my entire music library with me in a 60G iPod. Are you still going...

    Handz Detailed: 2004 Cobra Headlight Restoration #3

    Yes ... or you can just get some new lights. Before all there were was Ford OEM which are kinda pricey, but now you can get identical knockoffs for much cheaper. That is the route I went for my '01. Just my $0.02.

    every day driver

    Mine is a daily driver, too. For me, I did not do gears and the tune because it is a daily driver. I did not want to take on buying super unleaded, lower gas mileage, and the sound of higher revs when on the highway. It just comes down to what you want for your particular car. You can see...

    Simco gauges.. worth it or not?

    +1 to that -- It's a little much.

    Putting 05+ seats in a 99-04 car (??)

    Background: I have always been on the look out for some '03/04 Cobra seats to drop into my '01. But they are always more than I can afford. I always thought that the '05+ cars had have much better seats than the 99-04. As countless '05s are made into race cars, there are planty of '05+ GT...

    Just test drove the Challenger SRT8.......

    Actually it was a 2006 with 5K miles, but I remembered the price right ($35K). It is even GM certified. Here is a picture of it:

    Just test drove the Challenger SRT8.......

    I was at the Chevy dealer not long ago, and they had an '08 or '09 Vette (I forget) but with only 3K miles on it for $35K. What a steal ... the thing was pristine like new. I'd take that Vette over the Challenger and pocket the extra $10K any day of the week.

    Subframe connectors, any suggestions?

    I have had Kenny Brown super subs on my Mustang for quite a while now. They are a good deal, too, as they sell for around $90.

    WHEEL POLL!

    I strongly vote for the black Bullitts with deep dish on the rear. It is a great look, and relatively unique ... probably the most cost effective too. Really, you should give this strong consideration. When going with black rims on a Mustang, it is the best option.

    Horrific experience with black ice

    Me and you both, brother ... me and you both. And to everyone else who replied: Thanks for all the informative commentary.

    Powder coat wheels or not?

    Okay here is my take ... I really like the wheels on your car the way it is. I really think your car looks a lot better than you think it does or something ... The only issue to me is that it seems to have a 4x4 ride height in the front, but maybe that is just an optical illusion due to the...

    Which color combo?

    Detractor checking in: I for one do not prefer the black. But I don't strongly dislike it either ... It just seems that the side profile would look a little wierd. But I would have to see pictures of how it would look from the side to be sure. If it looks good from the side, I'd be much more...
